I was lucky enough to see a wonderfully inspiring man speak last year at a conference, you may remember – I talk about it HERE . “Normal?” He pleaded, “who wants to be normal?” His presentation began with a slide picturing three upside-down bats. “Look outside the box, what do hanging bats look like if you … Continue reading How do you embrace diversity?
One sunny Thursday a few weeks ago Brent called me, just as I was heading into the office. “So… EBR shut down, for good,” he said. I could hear the uncertainty on his lips, as if the impossible had just come crashing around him. His dream job had disappeared out from under his feet, over night. … Continue reading Life, this incredible ride
After chugging up the long road to Taos, the RV pulled into a dirt lot in front of the Two Graces gallery where Robert Cafazzo stood, awaiting his six travel writers known as the "Whiskey Sisters." He was the first and last man to step foot on our RV with us during the trip. Robert … Continue reading In the sacred shadow of the mountain – Taos
Our journey across the Southwest becomes a more powerful spiritual journey each day. Through the people we meet, and the stories that are shared with us, the more each of us see bits of ourselves in these women. They share stories of rebellion, of being headstrong, they tell us about how they broke the rules, … Continue reading Our journey to the colorful Santa Fe
On Thursday May 23rd Aliza and I cruised highway 95 up to Las Vegas to check out our RV, check into to the Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort and set up camp for the incoming ladies (we made a dancing Vine HERE).

I'll be searching out the kinds of women you'd find.. perhaps drinking a glass of whiskey to feature in the upcoming Whiskey Sister Herstory Tour. I … Continue reading The Whiskey Sister HerStory Tour Begins…
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
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? I didn’t hear about … Continue reading The Art of CouchSurfing
The further I go from Yuma, Arizona the more I appreciate what I have gained from growing up in the desert. You gain some value in temperature perspective. I don’t remember the 115 degrees in the summer time as a kid, and my memory seems to not recall burning my bare toes on the sidewalk … Continue reading The Yuma Crossing
During our CouchSurfing and mitfahrgelegenheit adventures in the northernmost border of Germany we passed through the small village of Breklum. The origins of this town can be traced back to the 4300–2300 BC and the church itself was built in 1200. It was the church in which my great great great great relatives (I haven't … Continue reading Sankt Peter-Ording and Breklum, Northern Germany
