Yet Another Transition
The last time I posted, I had moved into my home in Mill Valley, CA. I have not a single regret in doing that except for missing my dear friends in Tahoe. It’s been another 15 months of my life and so much has transpired. Fifteen months that have gone by way too fast! I…

I’m Home! A New Life Chapter
After spending 17 months living on the road like a modern gypsy, I have finally found my home. I’m not too surprised with where I have landed. In my heart, I always knew, but it didn’t make practical sense so I discounted it in my mind. For that reason, I needed to be sure before…

Where Have I Been?!
Oh my, it’s hard to believe how many months have gone by since I wrote. I’m not sure why I have been avoiding it, since I do love to write. Perhaps I got bored with myself! This is the volcano that erupted while I was there and was in the news! I spent three glorious…

Full Circle?
I’ve spent the past couple of months traveling back and forth between Northern CA and Northern NV spending time in my two office locations. Circumstances warranted that I spend time with each of my teams in these locations making me realize that I need to “settle” in this geographic area for work purposes. I had…

Catching up!
I ended up having to cut short my stay in rural Wisconsin due to some changes at work that compelled me to return to the west coast. Did you know that wine-making is becoming a thing in rural Wisconsin? Who would have thought, huh? Some farmers are converting their farms to growing crops for distilling…

Endings
The last two weeks in Minnesota were sad as I said goodbye to so much of my life. I realized that I can go home but home doesn’t stay the same. The home I knew is only in my mind now. Friends and loved ones are gone, places have closed, the environment has grown and…

Grief
I was completely unprepared for the magnitude of emotions that have hit me while being in my hometown. During the past three months of my journey, I had not felt lonely until this past week. I took an early morning walk today around one of the local city lakes taking in all the sights and…

Home ?
I finally made it to Minneapolis. I’m fairly certain my bottom is several inches wider and it’s not just because of the junk food! I thought yesterday’s drive across Nebraska was going to feel long, but today, Iowa felt much bigger than Nebraska. What is it about driving that is so exhausting? I’m hoping this…

Road Trip-ing
I love a good trip. Today, I drove from San Diego to Green River, UT (just short of Salt Lake City) — 12 hours on the road with pit stops. I’m in awe of the planet we live on. The scenery was beyond imagination, from the ocean to the Mojave desert with its Joshua trees,…

Friends & Family
Where would I be without my friends and family to keep me company while I’m on this journey? I’d be terribly lonely! This past week I had quite the active social life and was reminded how wonderful it is to spend time with friends, old and new, in a myriad of ways. It’s so heartwarming…
