I AM Fearless
It’s not the first time Planet Fitness has been my saving grace. Planet fitness is how I stayed clean for the duration of my extended stay in my Subaru. It’s also how Amber and I were able to shower half the time we were on the road. It’s a good thing I checked into it […]
We spent probably half a dozen nights in the parking lots of Cracker Barrels because they’re safe, located conveniently off freeways and they give you permission. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to multiple Cracker Barrels (in a short amount of time) but it’s kind of like a happy go lucky episode of the […]
A geological treasure chest was next on the docket. We left Albuquerque and were now headed for Grand Canyon when out of the blue Ber suggests the Petrified Forest National Park. Knowing I can’t control any aspect of this trip I happily oblige and pull off Interstate 40 near the town of Holbrook. I must […]
We interrupt this regularly scheduled program of a cross country road trip recap for an update with Ensenada, Mexico. Spent the better part of my weekend with Yugo Ministries on a loft build where I was able to practice more selflessness. I barely had enough time to recuperate from my week long head cold ‘recalibration’ […]
We opted to get a room at Hilton because the address was 222 Central Ave. We were super tired from rushing to get to the balloon fiesta and we needed to do laundry asap. It was day three and I have to admit I wasn’t feeling it, it wasn’t fun and something had to give. […]
I may as well have been sitting at a round table with The Galactic Federation when the message came through not to control any aspect of the journey I was about to take cross country, it came in loud and clear. At the time I was like okay yeah sure sounds good, but now having […]
It wasn’t too far into our adventure I realized that while this trip was for me it certainly wasn’t about me. I went with these preconceived notions of what it was going to be like and by the third day something had to give. I didn’t understand why I was starting to feel a certain […]
I remember hearing maybe six months ago not to forget what it is that I was doing, or not to forget why I’m doing this. Or something like that. It’s one of those blips that came back to me, it kept coming back to me and now it makes complete sense. It’s easy to slip […]
I pulled some cards when I got home from my final shift today. I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet that I don’t have to return. I did however let out a screech of excitement sitting waiting for a light to turn green this afternoon when I really realized I have my weekends back. […]
I’m beginning to rethink my whole truck with the 6’s in the license plate. At first I thought Spirit was telling me to balance my exercise regime when in reality it is becoming quite clear that I’ve been hitting it too hard all together. It’s a wee bit frustrating because at the end of the […]
