Note to self, try to stay away from blogging while sick. Yesterday’s post is scary and took WAY too long to write! Dear Friends; As 2009 comes to a close- and I’m at home, sick- I’m prone to some reflection. For the most part 2009 was a rather boring year for me. I was back [...]

2010 Travelutions
Posted in Travel, tagged goals, New Years, Resolutions, Travelutions on December 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Toward the close of every year most people participate in the tradition of New Years Resolutions. Every year I make what turns out to be empty resolutions, resolutions like eating healthier, exercising, spending less money etc, and every year I falter. This year I’m going to do something a little different. I refuse to make [...]

I’m slightly excited about my upcoming trip to New York City for the Travel Blog Exchange conference in June. NYC has always been a fabulous city. My first visit was in ’93 with my Father on one of his business trips. My next visit was in ’08 with Moose Travel Network (I was working for [...]
It was Christmas & She’s not here.

This Christmas felt rather strange. It didn’t really feel special or different. Just another day. My Grandmother wasn’t a big celebrator and she rarely accepted our invitation to Christmas dinner, but knowing she was gone somehow changed things. In a way I felt odd celebrating. It felt wrong. I know that sounds silly, but it [...]
Goodbye Miss Lazy Bones!

I cannot stand the stagnant life anymore. I wasn’t born to do the mundane, although I’ve tried to be happy with it over the past few years. As I see it, I have a choice. I can continue to struggle with the mundane and easy aspects of life, or I can try and do those [...]
15 Things I Don’t Travel without

You may think this is for you’re benefit, but in fact it’s a list to help me remember what I need to pack before my next trip! I’m a very busy girl and therefore I am a very forgetful girl at the moment. No matter where I’m going or for how long, there is no [...]
Funk Solution #2

“I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul”. Invictus. After a day of trying to refocus myself, I decided to go see a movie- alone. My choice? Invictus. If you haven’t heard of this movie, you should. If you haven’t seen it, you should. It was utterly fantastic. For [...]
Funk Solution #1

So, my first funk solution was to do some scrapbooking. I use to do this quite a bit years ago, but as my life got busier, I went away from it. Recently I’ve been buying some paper, embellishments etc. So this morning I thought I would scrapbook some of my photos from China. After all, [...]
A funk

Ugh! I feel completely uninspired. It’s been a few days now and it’s driving me crazy! I can think of things to do like baking, travel research, photography, scrapbooking travel pics (don’t be a hater…). But when it comes down to it, I don’t have the energy or desire to follow through. Maybe I have [...]
