The last few months of freedom have been amazing and I’m grateful for every minute. That said, after being on the road so long I was kind of ready to get back to a more grounded life. I got settled in the condo, unpacked, decorated and checked out all the local farmer’s markets. But thisContinue reading “Becoming Whole”

From Sea to Shining Sea
Last November, I sold most of what I owned and packed what was left of my most prized possessions into a POD. I drove away from the past 2 decades that I’d spent in Louisiana and hit the road. I headed east with a plan to eventually settle in my beloved Florida. But the universeContinue reading “From Sea to Shining Sea”

Welcome to Sedona, Arizona! For those who have not been here, this is a pretty magical place. Sedona is famous for being one of the locations on this earth that is a center of our planet’s health and spiritual energy, otherwise known as a vortex.

Two Days in Santa Fe
Stop #2 in New Mexico is Santa Fe. What a lovely little town! The land of enchantment continued to grow on me during on what turned out to be a very restful stop on the journey. But first…the intermezzo! Hot ‘Nuff? I’ve been intrigued by this idea of natural hot springs for quite some timeContinue reading “Two Days in Santa Fe”
Bottoms Up
From Wichita, I had a nice short 2 hour drive to my next destination. Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Refuge is best known for being the place that thousands of whooping cranes and sandhill cranes go in February so I’ll have to put that on the list for another year. In late April and May, it’s allContinue reading “Bottoms Up”
Grateful
After attending BWIAB in Ohio, I had absolutely no idea where to go next. Need to keep heading west, but had a heck of a time finding a path. I struck out on 2 destinations in a row which also meant 2 unplanned 13+ hour driving days. That said, there was still much to beContinue reading “Grateful”
East Coast Triple Threat
My rule of thumb for this cross country trip is to not drive more than 8 hours per day. I leave really early so I am at my destination by noonish and then I leave at least a full day between the big jumps. There is no planned itinerary. I am making it up asContinue reading “East Coast Triple Threat”
Around The World In 36 Hours
A few posts ago I told the story about how I recently tried to book a last minute trip to Africa which, due to universal forces, did not happen. I found a way to get to Africa anyway 🙂 And, I think I’ll go ahead and visit and handful of other countries while I’m atContinue reading “Around The World In 36 Hours”
Frittata Cross Country – First Stop – Florida Everglades
“Leave it to a New Orleanian to go to California through the Florida Everglades!” That’s what an older gentlemen said to me when I told him I was from New Orleans but on my way west. He obviously thought I was bird-brained. Very funny. Shoving Off After realizing Rosemary Beach wasn’t my kind of Florida,Continue reading “Frittata Cross Country – First Stop – Florida Everglades”

Have you ever felt like you needed a fresh start? Ever dream about getting rid of all your stuff and just being a nomad for a while? If you got the chance, would you do it? In November of 2021 I quit my job, sold my house and most of my possessions and hit theContinue reading “The Fresh Start”
