I’m finally getting around to updating my profile as I’m drifting into semi-retirement mode. Slowing my roll with Maritz and focusing on serving clients in a more personal, meaningful and fun way at the beach and beyond.

My husband and I started our little beach focused business, A Shore Venture, in 2015 and it’s taken on a life of its own as we have endured many “pivots” along the way.

If your small (10 or under) corporate retreat or family vacation brings you to the Bolivar Peninsula in Texas, we would love to serve and help plan your play.

We understand we can’t be all things to all people and that is truly not our goal at this time in our life. But it may be worth a conversation.

Can’t come to the beach? Let’s talk about bringing the beach to you.

Night two of our epic “camping” trip. Due to flash flooding at the tent site we had reserved for $40, we had to change plans. $400 later after a bougie hotel, dinner and drinks, we are all settled into our king bed. They upgraded us to a king suite without asking. Good, clean living and lots of blessings we don’t deserve.

We stopped traffic in NOLA. Can’t sat enough about the hospitality that has been extended. This Louisiana girl is proud.

Costa Rica Traveler Update

Beginning January 8, 2022, the Costa Rican government will implement a new regulation mandating that all hotel guests must be fully vaccinated. As of January 8, 2022, resorts are pleased to continue to welcome fully vaccinated guests to all properties in Costa Rica. Both international and national guests visiting Costa Rica who are not fully vaccinated as of January 8, 2022, are welcome to enter the country, but will not be allowed at restaurants or on hotel property.

Above reported by AMR Collection, 11-4-2021.

Note, they say non-vaccinated people are still allowed in the country, but will not be allowed in restaurants or on hotel property.

This is a DEAR friend, colleague and sister in Christ. I hope you are as blessed and encouraged by her message as I was. Can't wait to read the book.

I'm reminded that doing the same thing over and over again with no change in results is...insanity- not to say, discouraging, too.
