I’ll be fine, until I am not…..

Stolen? No,  I think the word that is more conducive to my feelings right now is “hijacked.”   Hijacked:  to seize by force or threat of force.   Two weeks ago, I was excited for the travels and adventures that were on my calendar for the next 6 weeks. Let’s run them down: *A quick …

Iceland Adventure: Day 4, Part 2

Who knew it would take so long to journal a trip, but there was just so much we saw, and then not enough...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I feel like we just flew through and past the small town of VIK. But we did stop to at Dyrhólaey and the basalt sea stacks at Reynisfjara beach.  The winds were …

Iceland Adventure: Day 4

We woke up the next day to this view, near the small city of Hella. And after some coffee, a quick breakfast and filtering our water for the day....we were back on the road.    On this day we drove from Hella to Kirkjubæjarklaustur The challenging thing for me in documenting this trip was the names of the …

              I am excited to recount and reflect on our recent trip to Iceland.  I think it is so important to document memories and experiences, and while I usually do it with photo books, pictures and journaling....I wanted to share this experience here on my blog for all of …

Road 744 and PTSD

Whenever I travel....I like to bring back two things from my trip.  A refrigerator magnet and a coffee mug. Mike was looking at the magnets in Reykjavik and asked if I preferred the one that just said, "Iceland" or the one that said "I Survived  Iceland."   I chose the latter. Now, don't get me wrong, …

Our Adventures Part 1 – August 2014

2014 has been a year of "intention" for Mike and I. The intention to be grateful everyday, no matter the circumstances. The intention to be still and live in a state of conscious and spiritual awareness. The intention to put our family first above any outside commitments. The intention to live  financially free. The intention to start …
