A Peripatetic Lifestyle
The other day one of our friends told me as I was recounting our movements for the next few weeks that we were living a peripatetic lifestyle. I had never heard this word before, so they explained it to me. It’s true. Beyond just our travels, we tend to live this kind of life because…

AF Is Baaack!
**Warning: Possible TMI alert – blood and adult content to follow** 😛 It may have been the law of attraction. It may have been the Universe’s idea of a good joke.

What DO I do?
A common and fair question when we first meet people is to ask what one does – for work, for life, for whatever. For years, that was a safe and easy question to answer with no unintended nuances like ‘where are you from’ can hold. I knew how to answer it directly and, though, I…

Existential Contemplations
Of late, I have been questioning my purpose in this life. When I was heavily into the world of Christian teachings ⛪️, I was convinced my place in the “body of Christ” ✝️ was the butt or bottoms of the feet 🦶🏼; wherever it was that people squashed and used taking the place for granted…

Regrouping!
We are guest-free now and it feels good. The house has been cleaned, beds are made with the pretense of readiness, and we are clearing our minds to create space for each other as we redefine our routines again. For all of us who live in the area year-round, there seems to be a collective…

Final Visitors
This is just a short note as we are in the midst of our final visitors for the year. While we may open our doors for a day or two with pre-arranged visits, our hosting doors will officially be closed as of Monday. Family will be the only exception! It has been fun and it…
