We started Day 3 in the lovely town of Missoula, Montana. Home of beauty, nice shops, and my ex Jerod. After a rocky night of sleep for me…I was wired going to bed from the night before…we got up to start our day. I texted Jerod about grabbing some coffee together as I suggested the […]
We left this morning from Sheridan, Wyoming with our longest driving day ahead of us. A mere 475 miles to Missoula, Montana. As avid road trippers we could push harder and do 10 or even 12 hour stretches but why? This feels much more like a holiday and since the trip is on the company […]
Denver is in my rear view mirror. It was a very long 10+ months and I am glad to be onto a new adventure. With that said I know that it hasn’t hit me how much I’m going to miss my Denver friends. I got an email today from Mr. Zen that reminded me that […]
I’m not a quitter. I believe in finishing things well. I also believe in leaving things in better condition than how you found them. I have been the boss who is left hanging by bad employees. I have been the lover who is left with things unexplained. I have been the friend who doesn’t know […]
My winter in Denver was lonely, cold, and life-changing. Moving to a new city where you don’t know a lot of people and have few connections can be a true test of your character. For me it has also been a learning experience in so many ways. Being somewhere with little sense of community and […]
A wise blonde rocker once said “The Waiting is the hardest part.” You were right Tom…you were right! Current Seattle preparation activities include: The Move Manager came over today and walked through my apartment to determine how many boxes to bring. On the phone he’d said “It’ll likely take me about 20 to 30 minutes.” […]
I’m moving to Seattle. This fact when stated aloud elicits reactions more so that any statement I’ve made in recent memory. I can summarize the reactions into three general categories: 1. Former Seattle-Dwellers–These folks have the most consistent reactions. “I loved living in Seattle…you will love it.” “Seattle is so quirky and fun…you are […]
Maybe it’s just me. Because…well…it could just be me. But I wonder. When I was a very young business woman, I sometimes cried…alone in my office or in the occasional ladies room bathroom stall. I found that I often cried because as a young twenty-something I was trying desperately to navigate a new world with […]
Lots of well-churched kids can quote John 3:16 or Psalm 23 or an even more obscure Romans 8:28. But as a kid I knew 1 Corinthians 11: 2-16 backwards and forwards. It was a passage of scripture much discussed in our house because of a specific set of beliefs espoused by my parents. Beliefs that […]
So….I might be ready to write again. MIGHT being the key word. Every time I’ve tried to pick up that Minor Prophets study I think of the first sentence…and I just put the whole damn thing back on the (imaginary) shelf. I’m not even the same person who started that study in so many ways. […]
