Introduction

Welcome to the blog that will follow my adventures, experiences, and reflections on life. I chose the name Chiripada's Journey as the title for a little something to make my page unique. My family began using the term chiripada after my parents visited the La Chiripada Winery in New Mexico. The name means "a stroke of luck" or "a lucky fluke" which describes the way things often turn out.
Any time we find a great parking space, or catch any type of a lucky break, we shout "Chiripada!"

I have been very fortunate in my life, and feel that Chiripada is a fitting description for the journey that I am on . . . many little strokes of luck!
