As many of you know, my husband Derrick died in 2017. And as you may have also gathered from my social media post, I have a new person in my life - Bill. While I do share our adventures, I rarely talk about how this relationship came to be. But this morning, it showed itself … Continue reading My Witness
It’s time for a little update that has more information than a social media post. We have settled into Quartzsite, Arizona, for the next few weeks. I post more regularly on Facebook and Instagram than I do here, and I often use the hashtag #vanlife. Lately, however, I have been watching more closely what gets … Continue reading Arizona Vanlife

In August I sold my home and moved everything I own into an 18ft stepvan. My plan is to travel, at the very least, until next spring.

One thing that I have really become aware of, this year, is how fast we eat our food. I have … Continue reading Mindful Eating
I have said my whole life that while I am eating one meal, I am thinking about the next. I just love food! But in the past year, I have had my best relationship ever, with it. In September of last year I found myself in hospital with sixth nerve palsy. I was away in … Continue reading I got this
Another Father's Day is upon us and Facebook is flooded with well wishes, and the grieving. Profile pictures are being changed all through my network to, dads and kids. I'm not judging this tradition, I did it myself; every year on Father's Day I changed my profile picture to 2 year old, pudgy faced me; hugging my … Continue reading Mixed Emotions
I have met many brave people in my lifetime, but some really shine and have impacted my ability to be brave myself. The first time I knew I was in the presence of the naturally brave, she was only 10; when she took a chance and let me into her life. She could have made … Continue reading Family
