Hi, I'm Ann. Welcome to Cactus & Cats.
I chose to name my blog Cactus & Cats for several reasons:
Cactus: Living in the Phoenix area, surrounded by cacti, I have learned to love these prickly plants. They are a combination of delicate and sturdy, can be toppled over easily because of their shallow roots, but can withstand the harshest weather conditions. They have a protective shield in their thorns, but once you get beyond that, they are vulnerable to animals drilling holes for shelter. That juxtaposition between delicate and sturdy, the protective shell and vulnerable interior is evocative of how many of us feel about ourselves.
Cats: As anyone who knows me is aware, I love cats. I love nature and animals, but cats in particular. They are independent and curious and love to explore. I relate to them for these reasons as they are all traits that I share. I have spent my entire professional career helping people explore the world, first college students studying abroad and now with leisure travel.
In this blog, I will be sharing my life, my travels domestic and international, my wanderings around the Valley of the Sun and Arizona in stories and photos.
