Like any great documentary, what you think is the story, shape shifts and ends with a plot twist. Same goes in this episode starting off with stories of autumn ending with a surprise visit.
Milli Vanilli Girl You Know It's True ***(correction, I said Rob Thomas and meant Fab Morvan)
Anthos Wellness (Maria, voice of an angel)
Exploring the concept of time, too much and too little, and finally covering more ground on the Camino.
A killer comeback, Smashing Pumpkins at Radio City Music Hall and somehow it all relates to my early stages of the Camino. If you don’t mind a few detours enjoy the journey.
Two months of savasana, accepting it will never be perfect, I am finally starting to tell my Camino Chronicles. Breaking into parts, because one thing I didn't learn on Camino is brevity. I did learn to talk to butterflies

An exploration on how my recent holiday to the Canary Islands inspired how I am choosing to feel in 2025. This is a look back at 2024 and how all that “push energy” has shaped a more fluffy and softer approach to 2025.

We have all made mistakes. I am grateful for three things: your ability to face hard stuff, the joy you will have when you do, and the positive impact it will have on the world. I share thoughts on how ghosting is like not checking your bank balance and how to find your band of misfits by disrupting patterns of avoidance.

The life raft that got me through the grim, and the experience that sparked me finding my voice that a “ghosting” muted. Meet my friend Josh and hear about the road to our sweaty experience in Helsinki and why all cool things come from Finland.

Big L's and little l's, in this musing I reflect on how much better I feel a year later, as we come up on the day that changed everything. I share the people that helped and things I did to cope differently. I truly hope it inspires your healing or coping. Please be patient as I learn how to edit better and face my fear of just rolling with imperfection.
