“Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is..an endangered species.” -Clarissa Pinkola EstésWomen Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype Lately I’ve been wanting to write more […]
Today I Celebrate
Today is March 1. This is the month I celebrate reaching that huge milestone in a woman’s life. You know that number we are supposed to fear. The number that means it’s only down hill from here. The number that means our beauty is fading and our value is diminishing. Screw that. 40 or XL. […]
Black Box
We forgot our passions. We forgot to love ourselves. We forgot to care for ourselves. We forgot the goddess inside of us. We forgot that we were beautiful. We forgot to be wild. We forgot how to be sexy. We forgot how to trust. We forgot how to play. We forgot our dreams. We forgot […]

Fear: Part II
“Do something everyday that scares you.” Okay so I can’t remember where I read this but I didn’t come up with this idea. No credit to my brilliance:-) It is hard overcoming fears and putting yourself out there – raw and open. All masks down. All beautiful facets of yourself exposed. Guess what though? Once […]
Traveling is a Privilege
Traveling is expensive. There is no way around it. Plane tickets, hotels, Airbnb, equipment, clothing, excursions, tours, food, gas….it’s expensive. I went into this journey with this absolutely crazy idea I would spend $1500. I didn’t want to use any family money and would sell items and do random jobs to earn the money. I […]
Why This Journey?
This time a month ago I was starting my adventure. I had conquered San Francisco and had attended my first concert solo but this time I was beginning my nine hour journey in the desert. I was at a low point by now. Homesick. Guilt ridden. Missing my kids. Exhausted from the night before. However […]
Love Letters To Your Tribe
When I left for my trip I had a plan. A very detailed plan which I’m very proud to say I followed. Not just a plan for the physical adventure but for the spiritual adventure. There aren’t any books from my research that outlines how to discover your best self in a period of 8 […]
12 Days to Go!
This journey is coming soon! 12 days to go! It’s hard to believe it’s so close. I feel like I have so much left to do but actually I don’t. I feel in that limbo stage. I should be doing something but I’m not. I guess this is the time to get everything around here […]
A Love Poem To Myself
I stumbled on this in a journal the other day and since finding it I’ve read it over and over again. It reminds me of all the beauty in my life that honestly I sometimes overlook or refuse to see. We have so many little blessings around us but are often to busy to even […]
Solo I Go In 4 Weeks
Holy Cow. 4 weeks until I leave. School starts back in one. Crap. I really should have done more of planning on the front end – when I first made the decision to do this – but honestly I kept putting off investing money so if I backed out I wouldn’t have flushed money down […]
