It has been a busy and wonderful few weeks since I last wrote. I can’t believe that our time in Charleston is almost over as we get ready to leave for Florida on Saturday. It has been a fantastic month. I can’t say enough good things about Charleston. We have met so many warm and […]

Holidays away from family are weird. Luckily, I have some experience with it because I feel like it would’ve been a lot harder had this been my first time away. And, even though we got to video chat and all the amazing photos were shared with me so I felt like I was a part […]
There’s a saying I’ve heard several times that goes something like, “if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.” This saying reminds me to try and continue to stay as intentional and present as possible everyday, because you never know what tomorrow may bring. I had a lot of emotions yesterday coming […]
I am currently reading “My Own Devices” written by Dessa, and on Friday there was a quote that stood out to me. “Loneliness is the fare that you pay to be free.” It has been two months since we left Minnesota. We have seen and done some incredible stuff. The four weeks that we spent […]

It […]

I have found that, as I am finding my voice in this blog, trying to title all my posts beginning with the letter “G”, is very confining and restrictive to my creative process. So, as you can see with Chapter 6, I am changing that.” This post is going to be a little different. It […]
We hit the road early in the morning on August 26th, 2023. First stop: The Porcupine Mountains in Michigan, about five hours from our house in Saint Paul. Luckily we had two weeks between moving out of our house and getting on the road to do some purging of things and, as you can see […]
Before I begin, let the record reflect that I am very sensitive to smells. We moved out of our house this past Sunday.
