Tree pose used to be easier.
I could hold it longer, steadier.
Here I am, wobbling on a boulder,
just proud I can get there at all.
When balance seemed impossible.

🦅A hawk is waiting for our cute birds to return to the feeders, unfazed by my close presence and efforts to scare it away. So cool to see this beautiful creature up close!!

đź‘»Our new Halloween ghost crafted from an old sheet and random garage supplies is up!

Keith and I are creative perfectionists with a garage full of “just in case” materials he (thankfully?) can’t let go of.

Plastic bags rolled into a ball for the head. A scrap of screen to tie it securely. Chains hanging from each side so the sheets don’t fly off the cable arms. Sharpie eyes and jagged mouth.

An hour plus later, we stepped back to admire our work.

We agreed: it was creepy.

Totally worth every minute. The perfect addition to our minimalist Halloween decor.

Bonus: an hour of pure connection and cooperation.

Zion National Park is one helluva magical, awe-inspiring place. Took my breath away.

Where’s your magical place?

My parents asked what we thought about moving to the country.

I later realized this was a rhetorical question.

I was nine. My older brother was twelve and getting into trouble. My parents thought a move would fix him—make us all more wholesome.

Like The Waltons.

It sounded fun. I didn’t think through the consequences.

I resented that move well into adulthood.

🎰 Vegas isn’t a place I need to return to. But it was fun—some light gambling, decadent meals, and an afternoon at the spa.
Wait… the best part wasn’t the spa. It was our Uber driver, who agreed to make a stop on the way to the airport so we could drop off a bag full of leftovers with a homeless woman.
Kindness is always the best part. đź’›

🎰Vegas is not a place I need to return to. But it was fun. A little light gambling, decadent meals and, the best part—afternoon at the spa. Wait, the best part was actually the Uber driver who agreed to make a stop on the way to the airport to drop a bagful of delicious leftovers with a homeless person. Kindness is always the best part.

Re-entry into real life—after a zen-like hiking vacation and a decadent spa day in Vegas—did not exactly start with monk-like calm.

Instead, my brain staged a ping-pong match: unpacking! groceries! organizing! Which ball to hit first?

So I did the obvious thing: ignored them all and hopped on my bike (this picture is at mile 8, the halfway point), followed by a nourishing lunch/stretch combo while catching up on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel.

Then came my session with my writing/life coach Laura, a Play Advocate who also does energy clearings. She helped sweep away some of the “frantic re-entry” static still buzzing in my head. And we talked about keeping that vaca energy flowing.

Here’s the plan: ground myself every morning. Channel the openness of the Zion canyons. Pretend every day is a fun vacation—even if the “vacation” itinerary includes laundry and kitchen cleanup.

I suspect I’ll get just as much done (maybe more) if I do things with ease instead of sprinting around in a frantic haze.

A big shout-out to Zion and Laura for the magic.
