I usually don’t like to blog out of order, but right now I’m compelled to share what’s going on. So, you’ll have to wait to hear about some of my unique and unexpected Arizona road trip adventures. For now, I want to tell you about my journey back to Santa Monica. After 5 months on […]

Dear 2011, I just wanted to say hello, welcome, and damn I’m happy to meet you! Last year was a pretty rough year. 2010 was a blur of toxic personal relationships, challenging financial issues, and working my knuckles raw for a dying company that I wasn’t able to save. By September I was destroyed. 2010 […]

Boise, Idaho. A place I haven’t known much about, and admittedly, a place I’ve never had a desire to visit. I thought my stop would be a quick one-nighter on my way through Idaho, but happily, I was hit with yet another dose of serendipity on the road.  My pie-baking goddess friend, Beth Howard,  came through again and connected […]

I’ve had it with the tears. And yes, I’m talking about mine. Just about anything can set me off. This morning it was a video of dolphins and whales playing in the waves set to Little River Band’s “Cool Change” (thank you Angela!). This afternoon it was a bright-eyed 20-something unloading a velvet-cushioned chair out […]
