I’ve never had travel anxiety or stress once I step onto the airplane, but the moments leading up to crossing the threshold between airport and airplane are pure agony for me. I’ve had this incredible Germany/France trip planned … Continue reading I’ll Hopefully Go to Paris
I’m a huge vacation planner and am already planning my next vacation, basically six months out. I look forward to it all year, month, week...whatever.

On a cold, winter night...in the middle of absolutely nowhere on Route 66, there’s the original Pops. In Arcadia, Oklahoma, you can spot the standing soda bottle from a mile away.

“At some point, you gotta let go & sit still & allow contentment to come to you.” As I shared last week, there was so much hustle, bustle and constant moving on this trip.

“Create a personal dialogue with your environment. Talk to it.” This quote is so important to me...look up, read it. Learn & understand it.
