If summer has to end, then I wanted to be sure to go out with a bang. One of my favorite things about moving is not only the exploring of the infinite abyss but also, the seemingly endless amount of visitors. The past two weeks have definitely had me exploring the PNW, West Coast and…
Thursday. Oh, what a happy day Thursday was. My favorite of all the days. This particular Thursday was extra special and seemingly perfect. The weather was again, oh so perfect, too perfect. C and I headed down to the waterfront for some casual midday dog walking. I had the pleasure of slowly wandering along with an…
What a crazy, busy, beautiful week it has been! My first week in Seattle is almost complete and I couldn’t be happier. I meant to be better about posting more, but life it seems has gotten in the way. Not quite into the ‘settling’ in routine, too much life to accomplish before I do that!…
After a night spent in the WalMart parking lot, I was definitely ready to get on with the journey. It was 5am and just the beginning lights of dawn could be seen in the distance. My neck was cramped, my legs sore and my eyes just couldn’t seem to moisten but I wanted nothing more…
Thursday night before my departure I didn’t sleep very well. I tossed and turned all night long wondering if I was making the right decision.

Why is everyone always hatin’ on twenty-three? I for one thought it was a fabulous year. Old enough to be considered an “adult” yet still in the early twenties category so you can get away with things. Literally caught somewhere in the middle of your early twenties, twenty three is freakin’ awesome. I can’t even…
Late night lasagna, wine and good friends almost always leads to one thing; good conversation. And this night was no different. On the menu for conversation- “We aren’t meant to be with one person forever.” The two males were set on this thought- we weren’t meant to be monogamous. I was completely caught off guard…
I want to dig my heels into the ground and fight to stop time, if only for a moment. Each passing day is a reminder of a life that I crave and desire; yet somehow find it slightly out of reach. I’m in love with this vision of a life of adventure. Of a time…
For one reason or another the phrase “You Only Live Once” or ‘YOLO’ seemed to hit the mainstream media early last winter and fans ate it up. Arguably Mae West coined the term YOLO long ago when she said, “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” Eh? Eh!? Anyway,…
