It Was a Very Good Year (video)

I am so blessed and lucky to have had such a wonderful year in 2011. I’ve made a 10-minute video to show the highlights. Enjoy!

    Hey Robyn,
    Don’t know how I missed this video but it sure was fun to watch. When you were talking, the audio was in hyperspeed. You sounded like one of the chipmunks. Was it my computer?

      Thanks Jan – no, it was meant to be silly – with the speedy film and voice. I thought it was too serious and got punchy with the video effects! haha.

    Robyn,

    I always knew you were unlike most of my other friends in high school….full of adventure, someone who is brave enough to beat to their own drum, and someone who would chase and catch their dreams. I’m so happy to see that life has been so fulfilling for you. If you ever want someone to join you on another back country excursion, let me know! If you get the chance to peek at my pictures on FB, you will see that I am an avid rock climber and whitewater kayaker, and I love to ski….both water and snow. All of these activities have been a blessing to me and provided via my 20 year move to Northern California. I have never had the opportunity to go on a long backpacking trip though, and it is certainly on my bucket list! Please take me! Say hello when you get some downtime one of these days. And it’s also good to see that all of your family members are so well and happy too. I lost my dad last October, and you can’t imagine what the loss feel like until you are there. But, when you experience and appreciate the vast miracles of nature as much as you and I do, there is absolutely no doubt that our loved ones are with God; whose majesty is beyond our comprehension. Much love to you my friend!

      Thanks Suzy – and I wasn’t even really like this in h.s., but I think the inclination was there since it began to be expressed after college and onward. I’m sorry to hear about your dad… I hope your mom is well – it’s good to be in touch!

    Love it Rob! A fabulous year for you. Fortes fortuna adiuvat! (Fortune favors the bold.) And you, my friend live a wonderfully bold life. Sure would love to visit you this year sometime. Got any openings? I’m sending you a post card for your wall…..from exotic Kansas……save a space!

      Thanks Roo – I’d love to see you this year. Let’s start planning something. I’m very excited to get another postcard for my wall collection! I love that quote… must remember it when things get slow. lol!

    What a year! Great video diary! What a super way of bringing together lots and lots of memories. Leaves me breathless to know what 2012 will bring to you and you to it.

    Hey, did the documentary about your program come out yet? Is it available anywhere for people like me to see?

    • Robyn January 2, 2012 at 7:33 pm

      Thank you Susan! It took a long time to do this but was fun. I have not heard if the documentary is out yet. I suspect not, but will let you know as soon as it does.
