From Passion to Profession

The economy. It is a word that is perceived by many as the reason their life is not exactly going the way they had in mind. The economy is bad. People are out of work. Stress is everywhere and there seems to be no time or place for having fun.

The service sector of the economy consists of activities where people offer their knowledge and time to improve productivity, performance, potential, and sustainability. I aim to help the service sector of this economy by launching an outdoor guide service to improve the peace of mind in all of us. The ultimate goal, to have fun.

Fun is who I am, it is what I do, it defines me. Why not share my knowledge of it with others? Case in point, this summer's new activity, kayaking.

Kayaking on lakes and reservoirs is a blast. Imagine yourself: exploring hidden shallow coves, seeing wildlife, making anywhere on the shoreline your own private beach, packing a floating picnic of your favorite foods and beverages, and getting a beneficial core workout while paddling on your adventures. The stress of the day will fade away and you will end up feeling refreshed and renewed, ready to take on the challenges of everyday living.

If being on the water is just not your thing, hiking adventures on land in the mountains await your restless steps. Imagine walking through fragrant spruce forests, seeing cascading waterfalls, discovering beautiful wildflowers, feeling the breeze off a high mountain lake, and becoming the explorer you once were and still can be.

Pictures of your adventures will be taken by a professional photographer and put on a CD for you. A massage therapist will be available after your adventure for an additional fee as an option. Food, clothing, and gear requirements and recommendations will be available on the website as well as links to other adventure information sites and sponsors.

We hope to see you soon either on the water or on the trail when you are in the Northern Colorado area. For more information, e-mail T.A. Nielsen at scorenielsen@gmail.com.
