The First Travel Hiccup!
Do you know how long it took me to learn to spell Albuquerque? Far longer than I’d like to admit! I decided to hang out in Albuquerque for a few weeks on my way west. I hadn’t spent time in New Mexico before and I figured it would be a fun place to visit. I…

Everything and nothing
After I left Little Rock, I had a 13-hour drive ahead of me to get to Albuquerque…straight through Oklahoma. And if you’ve ever been to Oklahoma, you know there’s not much there. It’s flat, it’s wide open, it’s largely unpopulated. I enjoyed the nothingness and took in the enormity of the sky when there are…

A Little Slice of Heaven
Have you been to Arkansas? I think I had driven through on my college coast-to-coast road trip, but I remember nothing about it. So if I had been, it certainly didn’t make an impression. I needed to plan a route from Pensacola to Phoenix. And to be perfectly frank, I wanted to avoid Texas if…

Magic School!
I went to magic school! I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to learn Ancient Hawaiian Huna. Huna is an energy tradition that comes from Hawaii, that allows us to connect with our unconscious mind and our higher conscious selves. Our incredible instructor describes it as magic. I still grapple with…

Pensacola – Connection and reconnection
I arrived in Pensacola on February 28 and was welcomed into my friend’s home with open arms and an open heart. I lived with her and her family (husband and 4-year old daughter) for the entire month of February and it was wonderful and weird and life-altering. You see, I had spent the last year…

Lessons from Chattanooga
It’s hard to believe, but I will be departing Chattanooga in a couple of days! I let Maine on Jan 24, so it’s been a month of digital nomad life. I stopped by my folks’ house for a week, then I visited a friend in Christiansburg, VA, and spent the last 3 weeks in Chattanooga.…

Moments of despair
You know those moments, the ones where you find yourself squatting in the shower sobbing your face off…yeah, those moments of despair. I know those moments feel hard, sometimes unbearable. They are all-consuming, raw moments of real emotion. And I want to congratulate you for feeling them. Yes, congratulate. You know why? Because you are…

Moss
Have you ever thought about moss? Yeah, me neither, until I watched the movie “Elsewhere” on Amazon Prime (good movie, check it out if you haven’t seen it). One of the main characters is a writer and is writing her second book about moss. In a scene in a diner, she explains her fascination with…
