What it’s About

• Living life on your own terms.
• Doing the things you want everyday for the rest of your life.
• Having the time to pursue your interests and passions.
• Challenging yourself and overcoming your fears.
• Making your dreams come true.

That’s me, Maria Brooks at Navajo Falls, Grand Canyon.

I’m an Entrepreneur, Ballroom Dancer, Blogger, World Traveler, Hiker, Rock Climber, and Adventure Racer.

A few years ago, I filed for divorce and completely changed my life. I was living the conventional lifestyle; college, marriage, house, cars, retirement. I knew what I was going to be doing everyday for the rest of my life. Pathetic right….yes I know.

Then something wonderful happened, I discovered Ballroom dancing! I started performing and competing and it scared the heck out of me. It also gave me confidence and the courage to take chances. So what if I messed up in front of the crowd? So what if I wasn’t perfect?…So what if all didn’t go as I planned. I was ALIVE and having the TIME OF MY LIFE.

From that point on, I resolved to stop planning my entire existence. Now I live an incredible life, filled with amazing experiences and truly magical moments.

What I learned along the way is that you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. Yep, that’s right I don’t care what everyone says, your life is yours for the living!

So be fearless, take chances, do scary stuff, and learn who you really are and what you are capable of.

I want to inspire you to live the life of your dreams. Take this journey with me, and open your heart and mind to how awesome life can truly be.

“If we all did things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.”
Thomas Edison
