Artists

Arenโ€™t we all artists? Every decision , mistake, movement, outfit, word, smile, social media post, friendship…..pieces of art, that when things work together, evolve into your own artwork & make up your own story. Isnโ€™t living our life the greatest artwork we could ever make? We shouldnโ€™t compare ourselves to each other. Each life isContinue reading “Artists”

Time is finite

Time is our most precious asset. It is finite. Once it’s gone, it will never come back. Think about that….. you have 1 chance to make things right. One opportunity to make a first impression. Will you do the right thing when no one is looking? Do you trust your gut in making an importantContinue reading “Time is finite”

Road trip daily cost

Iโ€™ve been asked repeatedly how much I spent on my 2020 once in a lifetime US Western road trip. So letโ€™s dive in! Now I must note that Iโ€™m very low maintenance and actually do find a thrill in just making due with whatever supplies are stocked in the van. The new me……going with theContinue reading “Road trip daily cost”

10 states. 46 days. 61 stops.

Thatโ€™s a wrap on legs 1 & 2 & 3 of my US National Park roadtrip & what a whirlwind it has been!!! I can’t believe I left my comfort zone & home in Florida 46 days ago with a one way flight & the wide open road ahead. Leg 1 my dad & IContinue reading “10 states. 46 days. 61 stops.”

Highs and Lows

A tear slid down my cheek atop the Zion Canyon overlook rock that I was perched on for a calm sunset over the valley below.

Inspiration Point

Waiting atop Inspiration Point at Bryce National Park for sunrise on a brisk October morning, I hear a giddy squeal as a group of tourists make their way up the pathway. One of the ladies canโ€™t contain her excitement and squeals again shouting โ€œno wayโ€ & โ€œoh myโ€. Everyone around starts to smile & laughContinue reading “Inspiration Point”

How well do you know you? Some are easily achievable and you routinely share. But what if you digContinue reading “Happiest when…….”

One life

You only live one life so how are you going to spend it? With regrets? Should haves? A giver? Dieting? Content? Scared to try? Studying? Hating yourself? Life of the party? A go getter? Beating yourself up over a past mistake? With friends? Sleeping the day away? Working? Laughing? Seeing the world? Learning a newContinue reading “One life”

Edge of happiness

Gooseneck state park in southeastern Utah was so dreamy at sunset and I felt a surge of happiness overcome me. How do you bottle up something so special and be able to return to it when life gets tough? My hot pot made a killer packaged cheese enchilada goop ๐Ÿ˜‹ – seriously!! ๐Ÿง€ Hot chocolateContinue reading “Edge of happiness”

What is it about a sunset? ๐ŸŒ…

Is it…… the pastel hues that are so calming? the fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ orange that means something great is bound to happen? the satisfaction of seeing another one set peacefully? the promise of a new day & start tomorrow? the simplicity of not being in control of Mother Earth? the wonders of nature shining thru? thatContinue reading “What is it about a sunset? ๐ŸŒ…”
