A special re-airing of an episode from the first season of So Why Not? all about my husband, Julio Soler.  I admire and appreciate so much about him and this episode highlights how when he sets his mind to something, he is so determined to figure it out.  I hope you enjoy getting to know more about him.

Original episode:  Ep. 9:  So why not... leave everything you know behind? (with Julio Soler)

Do you really love where you live?  Have you lived in the same place all your life or are you more of a nomad? Do you truly have a place to call home?  Or maybe you feel like you don’t quite fit in where you live.  Whether you have lived in the same spot for 30 years or have moved every year for the last decade, there is almost always a way to feel more connection to the place you currently call home.

This episode is inspired by the book “This Is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live” by Melody Warnick

Have you ever visited a National Park in the United States?  Maybe you’ve been to several.  Or maybe it’s your goal to visit them all. 

In this episode I talked with Anna Blalock who works at a local National Park, Lake Mead National Recreation Area.  Anna has a fascinating story to tell about how she got her start with the National Park Service—one that I wouldn’t have expected.  And neither did she!  Her love for National Parks is so evident in the role she has taken on and the opportunities she has pursued.  As you listen to this episode, I invite you to consider what might lead you to take on this same type of adventurous spirit, whether pursuing visiting a new National Park or finding beauty all around you.

Special thanks to Mike Theune (Public Affairs Officer) for coordinating this interview for us!
