 Just Another Manic Moment: A Novel

In Sickness and In Health Novel #1

When Lindsay and Jake fell in love, it was magnetic and powerful. Jake declared that the “chemistry of love” pulled them together, that they were split-aparts, two halves of one, lucky to have found each other. Lindsay agreed, ecstatic that she had found her soulmate. When they exchanged wedding vows, they meant every word. … “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death…”

Then Jake was diagnosed with clinical depression, a major depressive disorder that stole the joy from his life. Later, periods of rage and mania changed his personality, testing his relationship with Lindsay. A phase of manic euphoria and frenzied spending forced Lindsay to take drastic measures.

Will Jake and Lindsay find peace and healing by moving to a small beach town, Sayulita, México?

Winter Colors of Mexico, From Views to Food (Part 1)

The Weather is Warm Enough to Walk, Boat, and Bus 

To Explore the Beauty of this Wonderful Country in January

Dining in Outdoor Restaurants

Gardening on Our Balcony

Christmas Trees Viewed from Near and Far

Views at Vallarta Botanical Garden

Views from a Sunset Cruise to Playa Las Caletas

Colorful, Delicious Food and Drinks

Food is what most often draws us out for walks and tours, as you can see. But the views and colors are what keep us going back. We're so grateful that we moved here, a place where we can walk, bus, or boat to so many wonderful, outdoor places. And we can enjoy them even in the winter. But especially that we walk so much here, taking in the views year around. That's healthy living!

I hope you'll read more about Healthy Living in Mexico in my books. I also invite you to follow me on my Healthy Living and Traveling in Mexico Facebook page.

Thank you for reading my blog and books. If you enjoy my books, please leave a brief review on Amazon so others will find them, also.

A Wonderful New Year's Eve Trip--The Rhythms of the Night Cruise to Playa Las Caletas

 The New Alma Show was Spectacular

One of the Amazing Acts in the Rhythms of the Night Show

We found a wonderful way to stay up until midnight and watch the spectacular fireworks show in Puerto Vallarta--go by boat to the new Rhythms of the Night show, Alma. The sunset cruise along the Puerto Vallarta shore to Las Caletas beach was wonderful. The gourmet buffet dinner was the best we've had there. And the new "Alma" show at the amphitheater in the jungle with incredible acrobatics and dance was amazing. Seeing the spectacular fireworks show from the boat on the return trip made the night perfect!

The New Year's Fireworks Show Over Puerto Vallarta

We highly recommend this trip if you are in Puerto Vallarta. Remember to bring a jacket if you go during the winter--it's cool after sunset out there on the boat.

Happy New Year!

7 Fun-Filled Days with Family in Puerto Vallarta! Feliz Navidad!

 Feliz Navidad from Puerto Vallarta!

Jon and I are so grateful that some of our family from Oregon came to visit us in Puerto Vallarta last week. We maximized our fun without paying tour guide prices. By midweek, our family was comfortable enough to do some exploring without us.

You might like to follow this activity plan if you have seven days in Puerto Vallarta. It was a wonderful week!

Day 1: Afternoon Arrival. We walked a little on the Malecón (boardwalk) past the Los Pescadores / The Fishermen sculpture by Jim Demetro to Cuates y Cuetes for dinner on the beach, a sunset view, and watched the Los Muertos Muelle (pier) change colors. A relaxing and beautiful first evening!

Day 2: Day to Rest after Traveling.

Thank you to everyone who downloaded my books from Amazon this year. Happy New Year! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
