I've Been "Pining" For Minnesota...


I've been doing a lot of "pining" lately. As I shared with you several weeks ago, Minneapolis St Paul magazine is hosting a contest for a beautiful hotel/resort giveaway and in order to enter, you were required to post pictures of favorite Minnesota places to hike, bike or drive on Pinterest. Though I would love to win the contest of course, what first started as a quick contest entry quickly became a larger project of love. Initially I planned to blog about each place and then post the pictures to Pinterest but I soon realized that I have too many images of Minnesota to blog about each one so I just began pining, and pining, and pining.

This is what I learned... There are literally hundreds of places and thousands of moments to love in Minnesota. Hiking, biking and driving are only a few on the list. You can add to that swimming, boating, attending festivals, enjoying a night on the city, shopping, snowmobiling, skiing, skating, making snowmen, enjoying Spring blooms, savoring Fall colors, watching another beautiful sunset, and just "being" in the moment. After going through just a few files of images from the last couple years, I created a very personal Pinterest page that is a reminder to me of all the reasons it is great to live in Minnesota. If you would like to view this page and its images, I invite you to do so at...Theresa Link MN Images.

Whether I win the contest or not, the truth is I'm taking away a prize...a reminder that I am so fortunate to live in a place that I love so much. My hope for you is that you too live in a place that you love...a place that allows you to always "be" in the moment.
