    hello everyone!

    i’m back from another whirlwind ‘destination tennis’ shoot, this time in beautiful sedona & scottsdale, arizona. sedona is an extraordinary place…not only is it visually stunning, but the energy and life force there is palpable. i’ve never experienced a community that’s so in tune with and respectful of the land where it resides. i was a bit skeptical about the whole ‘vortex’ thing, but after visiting this remarkable place you really understand how beautiful and powerful the energy that connect all living things is.

    our few days in sedona at the enchantment resort were amazing! from the daily spiritual/healing session to the world-class spa facility and the incredible food– i learned to make the most delish blue corn waffles yummm– it was a truly unforgettable experience. but the absolute best part was being surrounded by the gorgeous red rocks…our resort was literally nestled in the middle of 360 degrees views of red rock formations!

    here’s a photo of us, dt girls, from the rooftop of the enchantment resort:

    after a few days in sedona, we headed to the phoenician resort in scottsdale. i loved this place! unbelievable decor, great food, golf, tennis, i could LIVE here, no joke! i was impressed by how many interesting and fun things there are to do in this city. i was literally flying in a hot air balloon by day and sipping champagne at the sleek and swanky red bar at the mondrian by night. not to mention, attending (and graduating) from cowboy college!! i won’t say anything else about my adventures, but you MUST tune in on nov. 30th for ‘destination tennis’ on tennis channel…it’s going to be AWESOME :)

    speaking of shows…thanks to everyone for watching my 1st ‘destination tennis’ show in san diego! i’m thrilled to hear your thoughts and feedback. we packed in sooo many things in a such a short period of time but there were just a ton of things to do and see in san diego…it was great! i do have to give a shout out to our 2 fabulous tennis resorts– the la jolla beach and tennis club, as well as rancho valencia. as you probably noticed on the show these resorts are out of the world! la jolla b&tc is literally on the SAND. i loved having breakfast in my room each morning with panoramic views of the ocean– it was the perfect way to start my day. and rancho valencia was a divine sanctuary, where you feel instantly relaxed and secretly tucked away from the world.

    i hope you’ve enjoyed the 1st show and i can assure you it’s only going to get better and better!! thanks so much for watching :)
