With only seconds separating the Russian boat and us, Skipper Liz Wardley had the “Maiden” fully keeled, rail under water, maximizing our propulsion to a spot on the race podium. Many of you might be wondering how in the world did I finagle my way onto the legendary "Maiden" and end up in the Caribbean racing in the 40th Annual Heineken Regatta. Well, I am excited to share how it all happened, lessons learned, a few salty sea...

Volunteering for Santa Barbara County as a Park Host for the past six months has provided me with an unbelievable opportunity to live my RV dream on the West Coast. Tuckers Grove Park (TUG) is Santa Barbara's largest County Park with an expansive mountain bike area, hiking trails, and multiple BBQ grills. The park features nine reservation sites that are booked all summer on weekends, and a very popular off-leash dog park, wit...

In this week's blog, I have deeply been reflecting on my life over the past three weeks. Lately, I have been experiencing a tremendous flow of harmony and life-affirming calmness.  Moreover, I am transitioning into a new chapter of ease which includes pure joy to bring light into others lives. As I began writing this blog I found myself lost for words in a tremendous arduous struggle. I have been thoroughly stuck multiple time...

Let Go Of The Carousel Of Life...Find your Trifecta of Life

Over the past six weeks, my travels have taken me from Arkansas across the United States deep into Northern California and very close to the devastating forest fires that destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres, thousands of homes, structures and sadly taken many innocent lives, pets, livestock, and livelihoods. Living most of my life in Arkansas and now witnessing the devastating impact of the fires in California brings a wh...

I feel inspired to finally get started on my sabbatical blog and have been reflecting on a blog I started writing over six months ago and never finished. However, today was perfect to put a few things in order and start attending to my promise to document this incredible  journey, and my new life. I am writing this second blog to be named, "I Sea Me, A Journey of Dreams," for my friends, colleagues, and family who would like i...

It was truly a spiritual blessing to spend another 7 days on the west coast in the Venice, CA area topping off an incredible summer of travel, adventure, mystery, fitness, nutrition, yoga, and spiritual curiosity leading into the next chapter of my life. Last week I attended 10 different yoga classes in 6 days in an incredible personal rest retreat week at an unbelievable newly opened studio called, The Mystic Journey. What a...

The week before driving to Brush Creek Ranch in WY, I contacted my friend Colleen who I have become friends with through our yoga studio, NWA Hot Yoga in Bentonville Arkansas. Colleen and I became instant friends as we truly enjoy spending time together over coffee striking up amazing conversations, great insight into life, and challenging new perspectives. I remember this summer when Colleen called me while I was still travel...

Wyoming Gifts & Heavenly Wonder

My summer journeys across the country are about to come to a close as I begin to prepare for my 19th year of teaching in the Rogers Public School District. I certainly feel proud and accomplished with the intent of my original goals set for this journey back in March. I authenticity rediscovered my powerful fun loving spirit to jump over the self-imposed obstacles that were previously tripping me...

Transition to Rogers & Aqua Velvet Skies

Tonight I sit here and reflect upon on the transition back home, or I should probably just say Rogers, because I am not sure how I feel about the word home after living out of my Subaru for the past 30 days. I have definitely run the gamut of emotions and poignant psychoanalysis within myself with insightful observations as I entered the outskirts of Rogers, AR late Friday night. After f...
