In Greek mythology, the Phoenix rises from the flames to be born anew.
This year, although we didn’t light ourselves on fire, we visited the
deserts of Phoenix to kick-start our own health re-incarnation.
At the vast The
Boulders Resort, we rode bikes around the five mile desert circuit,
played tennis on the clay courts, rambled up the hills to see the
amazing 12 million-year-old boulder formations up close, and jogged the
nature path, with sightings of bright red cardinals and families of
cottontail rabbits.
A vitamin-C facial in the world-class spa facility had our skin glowing
anew, and all that was left to do was to cozy up in front of the wood
burning fireplace at our private casita and plan for the morning.
Sunrise yoga? Because tomorrow is a brand new day. Sarah Bancroft
