Cleaning house
In gearing up to move to DC, I was granted yet another opportunity to get rid of “stuff”. The first round of this letting go occurred in Montana and this entailed trips to Goodwill, the public library and elsewhere. The second opportunity was in Ohio where, for the past year, I have stored […]

Seeing with fresh eyes
It is late and there is much to say; however, my musings on my recent arrival to DC will just have to wait another day or two.
What I can divulge tonight is that life has been full and rather rich lately. There’s been much harvest, and I couldn’t be more delighted.
In […]

Welcome to Ohio: Landscape of my childhood
It’s been several days since Gabs and I arrived in OH, and I’m beginning to feel myself slowly warm towards its rolling hills, traffic (EEK!) and humidity (double EEK!). Still, I can’t shake my attachment to Missoula. I long to be there, soaking up its environs (Justin, too!), but I know that the […]

Love: A Quote
I came across this lovely quote while visiting with Sundance, a good friend, yesterday, and I felt the impulse to share it here with all of you. It’s such a wise statement and can easily be applied to one’s beloved by simply changing the pronouns.
“If you do not give right attention to the one […]

Chicago: Day Four
I really adore the city of Chicago. Architecturally, it fascinates me. Socially, it’s incredibly vibrant and energetic. Culturally, there’s so much to do and see. I am never disappointed when I visit.
Armed with my sister’s camera, I’ve been capturing the city’s shadows and angles all day long. I’ve always been […]

Driving Miss Dollie: Day Three
Pazienza. Pazienza. Pazienza. My mantra for today was “patience”, and I spent a great deal of time breathing in “love” and breathing out “patience”. I believe the practice saved my sanity.
All I will say is this: the drive is beginning to take its toll on me. As […]

Morning conversations with Gati and Gabs
Last night, I spent the night at the home of my friends Ericka (aka Gati) and her husband, Tad. After a few hours of playing catch up, we all turned into bed to resume our chats once again in the morning. Also, since Madelyn was asleep when I arrived last night, I got […]

Driving Miss Dollie: Day Two
Let me just tell you all how much I am digging the Hampton Inn’s new beds. They are incredible, and it was such a relief to fall into one of them after driving 12 hours yesterday. We landed in Rapid City, SD last night and woke up early this morning to tour Mount […]

Driving Miss Dollie: Day One
Sigh. I did something today that I didn’t think was actually possible: I left Missoula behind in order to begin a new chapter in my life. Jamie Kelly, friend and writer for the Missoulian, once told me that perhaps one of the saddest sights one could experience was that of Missoula in the […]

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life
Hellllooooooo new decade! A few days ago, I turned 30 years old, and it’s been hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that I’ve now walked this earth for three decades. My hope is that the footprints and fingerprints I’ve left in my wake have been positive imprints and nothing […]
