It was a beautiful sunny day. One of the surprise Spring Florida days that actually felt like spring. Low humidity, cool breezes, blue skies and white puffy clouds. It was a great day to be outside. I ran into these four gents taking the waters. It was not necessary for them to immerse completely in … More Smiling Birds Spa Days
This girl. Two speeds: wide open and full stop.
Who am I to deny a gift? Who are you? It’s time to stop playing small. It’s time to step into the creative expression that is me. That is YOU. It has always been uncomfortable for me to receive praise for my creative endeavors. Not because I don’t love a good compliment, but I think … More You Were Born to Create Magic
One of the many gifts of wandering is discovering new things. Food is no exception. I am no survivalist. I am not even a rugged outdoorsperson. But my wandering mojo allows me to find new and interesting things on well worn paths in the Florida woods or crooked and broken up sidewalks in India and … More Four Women, A Rooftop and an Indian Man
There is a freedom in travel. I ache for it at times. I am without appropriate words to help my husband understand why I must continuously leave him for places that are sometimes dirty and dangerous. I can’t explain why I would gladly snatch the free ticket to almost anywhere out of the hand that … More I Wonder as I Wander
Once again in my trusty Honda Civic we find our way to Pennsylvania. I am excited to go to Harrisburg. The last time I was here my grandfather had just passed away. It was the late 80’s and my brother and I had decided separately and without the other knowing it, to dye our dirty … More Familyville

I had always remembered Harpers Ferry as just that, a town re-created or preserved to help educate people on its history. Maybe that’s true, but there are actual residences right down town which I … More Almost Heaven
A question has shown up on my virtual doorstep a few times lately. It has appeared again today. I feel it will continue to cast its long inquisitive shadow until I give it the thought it deserves and form a proper response. For me. Not to appease it. Questions don’t care. “If you knew you … More The Tao of the Wanderer
When I tell my friends that I stayed in a Motel 6 most of them ask, “Well, did you at least get breakfast?” Um, even if they offered it, no thank you. Instead we went with the familiar, Panera. Fortified by croissant sandwiches and a few cups of joe we hop back on the interstate, … More Small Town Fantasies
Our next stop: Natural Bridge. The sunlight is beginning to dim, but we have at least two hours left of daylight. We make it to Natural Bridge with just enough time. The town of Natural Bridge is a lovely little mountain town with rolling hills and winding roads. And one main feature. An expanse of … More A Bridge, a Pizza and a Motel 6
