[mapsmarker marker=”35″] Everyone has a story to tell. This is a fundamental truth. Every story is unique and filled with wonder … for those with open eyes. But oh so many pick and choose what parts of their own story they see, often to their own loss. The modern world is teaching us the fine […]
Those who fall into the category of healer or caretaker often share one character “flaw”. They all to often forget to apply the same level of care to themselves. This is really true of ANY giving personality. We tend to place others before ourselves, to our own detriment. And this can be a very hard […]
I have been doing a bit of digital prep today. Basically, I have been letting the hordes of fans that I have on my several thousand other blogs (you can stop laughing now) know that once I am on the trail, my blog presence will be mostly here. If anyone is bored, and maybe actually […]
Can ya believe that we will be leaving in about three weeks? It seemed like just yesterday this whole adventure was just a vague idea! The last few days have been a bit … outside the routine. Which is not necessarily a bad thing since my routine is about to change drastically anyway. But this […]

I have been quiet in the blogverse again of late. I guess I just have not had all that much to say. And my irony and sarcasm glands have barely twitched in the past few weeks. I was starting to wonder if I am suffering from a medical condition. My constant smelling of maple syrup, […]
Here I am again. I have been suffering from a severe bit o’ “Why bother getting out of bed?” It is not so much depression but a basic lack of progress in … well just about anything … lately. It is hard to motivate when no matter what level of energy we put in nothing […]
Been quiet in these parts lately! Seemed long past time to get some good healthy babble on again. I went on a trip to North Carolina last week. A change of scenery, time to regroup, and a chance to commune with my Hiking Guru. I am still determined to complete this crazy project, and since […]
