fernweh (German): an ache for distant places, missing places you've never been. *craving for travel* As you know if you've been here for awhile, I love to travel. Big adventures, small road trips, little outings around town. . . I just love finding new things to get into with my people. Well. . . Between... Continue Reading →
We are in the middle of a wonderful road trip to see my bestie/sister friend, Ginny, in Tennessee and it has been just fabulous. Of course, as my CRPS has taken on a life of its own, I'm having to learn to live and travel differently - and this trip I had booked a room... Continue Reading →
As y'all can see, things are different here today, and, after saying for so long that I wouldn't be a chronic illness blogger, I've realized that it is time to let go of those ideas.

During the first part of our return home, from Montreal to Newark, we were on a very small plane, a United Express, and I, having... Continue Reading →
As I write to you now, it is only a few hours before Ginny and I hop in our cab for the airport to head home to see our peoples - and we are both so ready. We have loved every minute of our time here in this wonderful city. . . but we are... Continue Reading →
So, friends, I've been trying to write to you for several days now, but, honestly, every time I sit still, I fall asleep. It's a wonderful tired - my Ginny and I have been having the most amazing time in Montreal, a city who has definitely stolen my heart, and I can't wait to tell... Continue Reading →
