Insightful Lens

I decided I needed a bit of pampering, so off to the nursery I went. As I'm wandering through the aisles caressing the plants leaves I get a text. My son is once again upset about the latest D.T saga. I offer my best mom "love will prevail" speech. Feeling stressed, I head over to the check out clerk. We begin chatting, dreaming of summer, walks on the beach, the warm sun... I thanked him for the conversation, he smiled, extended his hand and said "I'm Sam, it's nice to meet you." I chuckled. My world is full of Sam's. 🙏🏻💫

I can always count on her to lift my spirits.

Chasing the light

Silence at 2am is different than silence at 3am. Silence at 4am is different than silence at 5 am.

At 3am It’s heavy By 4am It’s suffocating

It's been one year Two months Sixteen days ... it's time to try again

One exquisite moment every day... We biked to the lava fields and witnessed Mother Earth at her finest, both creating and destroying the land. All the while Surrounded by the beauty and grace of her presence. Ending with a ride home beneath a sky full of stars (we didn't know existed) and the Milky Way. ❤️ life is so beautiful. Grateful.

Amazing day with my daughter. Lunch, bike ride, lazy river. Boise is a little- big city. Great 50's vibe.

Small wonders

We are not in Kansas anymore. We have officially passed the halfway point. Food is scarce in small towns. I'm sick of eating pb&j. I pulled into a gas station and let out a sigh... I felt defeated. A large pick up truck pulls next to me and out jumps a little boy with this giant smile. His mom proceeded to tell me that his favorite car is a tesla and he has never seen one in person. My heart filled with joy. I left him sit in the car and play with the dash. I made his day. He made mine. ❤️ Onward we go. There is something magical about small town America.

There is something about Kansas. It's strangely romantic.

And the adventure really begins. Kids are all nestled in, hands on the wheel, battery is charged up. I can do this. Each mile I'm close to the Pacific Ocean. 😊

Sort of how I feel just thinking about attempting the long 410 mile drive across Kansas. I can do this. Right? Yes, I think I can.

Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen..
