It's funny, the things you realize about yourself at 2:00 AM. Maybe you realize it while wandering around the desolate Sunday evening streets of Hollywood, or maybe while climbing an impossible hill. My brother and I walked down from the Puscifer concert at the Greek Theatre in L.A around 11:15 PM this last Sunday night. We … Continue reading Hitting A Wall

Don’t Be Normal! Be Weird! #ICON14
I snagged my schwag bag and a pile of papers, ads, and guides for #ICON14 from the front desk. Of course I used my QR code to check in. The bright green and black bag they'd equipped me with was certainly big enough for all the free stuff being handed out throughout the event, along with my laptop (clever) and … Continue reading Don’t Be Normal!

My Run-in with the PCT
My familiar green backpack leaned up against the metal chairs outside of Starbucks last Friday around 7:00am. We were waiting for our ride, off to a new adventure, again. That pack has gained a few things since going on the Camino de Santiago last September, specifically a blue mummy bag which made it on this trip, and … Continue reading My Run-in with the PCT
Learning To Run
All the way up through high school I was never able to run a a mile. I lifted weights, did squats, power cleans, lunges etc, I was fit, but I never ran. I sucked at it. It seemed like my asthma was refusing to let me run like everyone else, even when I loved to do … Continue reading Learning To Run
Good Vibes in Colorado
I stepped into the Rocky Mountain for the first time since August of 2013 and took a deep breath. When I left last September, I had no clue when I’d be back again, a feeling I’m often faced with. Crisp air laced my lungs, it was pure and wonderful. In Phoenix that morning while waiting to board the … Continue reading Good Vibes in Colorado
Why an Educated Cowgirl Out West Went Vegetarian on Thanksgiving
It’s time to answer some of the questions about my recent vegetarianism. My reasoning behind it is even longer than my recent job descriptions. It isn't really a new and sudden thing, it has been a long battle. In high school I raised beef cattle and show-lambs for the local fair. These eventually paid my … Continue reading Why an Educated Cowgirl Out West Went Vegetarian on Thanksgiving
The Art of CouchSurfing
Thank you Sarah Perryman for your wonderful questions about this great organization. People usually think I'm crazy, and I am a little bit. Maybe you'll get a bit more of a feel for my passion for being a CouchSurfer after reading these answers. 1. How has Couchsurfing evolved over the years?

The Lookout For Mentors
As it is February, it may be the month of love, but I am left to ponder all of the people who have made a lasting impression on my life. I'm here to say, it is important to have mentors in life, to build positive relationships with caring people you meet along your journeys. Who … Continue reading The Lookout For Mentors
Quills, and New Year’s Resolutions, or not?
I was recently told by someone I greatly admire, “I don’t make resolutions, I make goals.” I had to pause a moment, for some reason that turned everything in my head around and the gears of my brain started to click. It had been such an accepted term all of my life, I never thought … Continue reading Quills, and New Year’s Resolutions, or not?
Serindipitie Creations Christmas Cards
Its always been a struggle for me to find a packaged set of Christmas cards that I like. The style of card I prefer is anything but traditional. When a Christmas card has a black background or anything out of the norm, yet remains in a cool Christmas spirit, I'm hooked. So this year I … Continue reading Serindipitie Creations Christmas Cards
