Gratitudinousness – What I am Thankful for Today and Always

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark November 23, 2011 Belly Dance

Gratitudinousness. It’s one of my favorite conjured words. And it really works in that gratitude is such a BIG concept…I think it kinda needs more greedy letters “We don’t need more to be thankful for, we might just need to be more thankful.” Unknown Many who know me in my life and on Twitter and [...]

The Italian Dolomites: Local Flavor, Spellbinding Witches and Thrilling Thunder

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 29, 2011 Travel and Adventures

One of the special perks of touring with an experienced guide is the introduction to local people who are more than happy to share their grappa or limoncello as well as the more secret and intimate treasures of their home region. Which Witch? Petra was one such gem that our guide Gary Scott arranged for [...]

Italian Dolomites: Foxes, Fox Holes, Foot Paths, and Food

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 15, 2011 Hiking

Today was another mixed bag of awesome in the Italian Dolomites. In the morning, some of the group enjoyed an international horse-jumping event, one (not me!) went on a vigorous bike ride and we all reconvened for a lovely lunch on a covered patio of a local restaurant. I’m becoming hooked on these grande salads [...]

New Zealand: The Elusive Kiwi – and I Don’t Mean Fruit!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 26, 2011 Travel and Adventures

Another excerpt from my down-underings in New Zealand: Being the avid birders that we are, my mum and I decided to take a pilgrimage to Stewart Island, off the southern most tip of the south island of New Zealand, to get our best chance of seeing the rare Kiwi bird in the wild. Remember, “south” [...]

Santa Barbara: Like Visiting an Old Friend

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark September 4, 2010 Interactive Travel

I grew up in west L.A. Good, bad and ugly, one of the good-est aspects of this childhood locale was it’s proximity to Santa Barbara. It’s hard to know how many people have heard of this gem of Southern California. I mean, I believe it’s fairly well known; If for no other reason than the [...]

Getting High: Mt. Whitney Madness Part II: Impressions (Emo Girly Version)

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark August 17, 2010 Hiking

Does that scare you? heehee Well, it should…for as structured as Part I was, this will be a complete disjointed rambling of silly thoughts and meanderings of my mind as my feet took me to new heights. Who wants to hear about the emotional facets of this climb? Well, my mom and sis will read [...]

Interactive Travel: Mount Whitney One-Day Climb (Attempt!)

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 29, 2010 Hiking

OK, so this next destination is not so much “travel” as “adventure”. This is how I must view an attempt at climbing Mt. Whitney in one day if I am to endure the blisters, fatigue, discomfort, dehydration, exhaustion…wow, are you envious yet? haha! I am putting it out there for my readers to offer tips, [...]

Local Lemon Lily Festival and a Hike too!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 21, 2010 Hiking

I had been pondering what of the myriad festivities I would participate in for our town’s Lemon Lily Festival. This was the first hopefully annual event to bring awareness to the presence of this wild yellow flower in our mountains and its absence from the creeks running through town where it was evidently once prolific. [...]

Hiking Stats: The Fall of SuuperG

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 26, 2010 Hiking

“Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects.” Dave Barry It was bound to happen. Especially on one of the most pristinely beautiful hiking days one could ever ask for! I slipped on some wet rocks and fell – hard – on my knee and had to hobble [...]

Hiking: Looking for a Castle, and Discovering a Grotto

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 21, 2010 Hiking

I love serendipity. In this case, there was literally dipity-ing involved. What’s a grotto without a dip? Just like a naked chip, I tell you! My hubby and I had planned for weeks to hike to what is called “Knapp’s Castle” in the hills of Santa Barbara and we set out to do just that [...]
