About me


Luna and Bucket in 2013 Luna and Bucket in 2022


Thanks for visiting my blog! I have to admit, I'm not the best about keeping up with life on here.

It started in college, as most do. This was an assignment from my journalism professor. We were to post our "portfolio" of written pieces. Most of those have been removed since, but I might have missed some.

It has transitioned over the years. Part travel blog, part ramblings about life, mostly processing the tough stuff. It's a peek into me in a way I don't always know how to put into spoken word.

Spoken word has always been much harder for me than written word. Writing is my way of processing things. It relaxes me and helps me make sense of the world.

Specifics about me, in case you stumbled here by accident:

I'm a former journalist, who spent about six years in the industry. I suffered the fate of many, my position eliminated in one of many cuts. 

I'm a lifelong hobbyist and crafter by nature, always interested in learning and trying new things. I've uttered "I can make that," more times than one could count. My ADHD often gets in the way and I forget! I am an avid crocheter and I love working puzzles of all kinds. 

I get it naturally. My mom was crafty before Martha Stewart was cool.

I'm a traveler. I haven't gotten to as much in my recent years, because life, but I still consider myself one. I love seeing the world. Everyone should have a passport. I firmly believe that travel challenges and grows you in ways you can't imagine.

I'm a God-follower and a "mom" to two mix-breed dogs and a stepmom to three human teens/adults. In addition, I have a wonderful extended family and great support systems.

I'm a widow. That's hard to say. It's still new as I'm updating this section. If you've read my blogs, you've read a lot about that already I'm sure. My husband was an amazing man who loved me dearly. He was always down for a road trip or to help with my crazy ideas.

Anyway, that's about it. Welcome. I hope you enjoy!

Are we friends elsewhere?
