It’s never too late.
Last year at the beginning of November Mike and I decided that we were done traveling the country living out of my car. We were in Arizona and needed to get two cars, his and mine, across the country. Instead of driving in a caravan and missing out on hours of quality time together singing… Continue Reading
Warts And All
The other night I had a “spiritual nightcap” with Robert Holden, author of the bestseller Happiness NOW, among others. Beyond his incredibly charming British accent and unassuming sense of humor, I was struck by something he said: He’s about SELF-ACCEPTANCE as opposed to SELF-IMPROVEMENT. As those words came out of his mouth I could feel… Continue Reading
Let Your Freak Flag Fly
I just returned from Portland, OR to Portland, ME. (Despite my home town often being referred to as the “other” Portland, the Oregonians named their fair city after us.) I very enthusiastically attended the World Domination Summit (WDS), author and traveler Chris Guillebeau’s annual conference for bloggers, travelers, change-makers, and others who dub themselves non-conformists.… Continue Reading
a fool proof way to figure out what to spend your money on
I’m sitting here on the train from Seattle, WA to Portland, OR. I spent an extra $17 to get a Business Class ticket and it was way worth it. Nice leather seats. Wireless. Plenty of leg room. Luxury.

Freedom is an Inside Job
The Freedom Tour has taught me several lessons about myself, love and life: But one of the most important lessons of all: freedom is an inside job This summer I had a chance to experience it first hand – in a dressing room. Of all places. I took a branded shopping trip with my friend… Continue Reading
Quarterlife crisis? What? Glimpse TV with Molly Mahar of Stratejoy
As I was planning The Freedom Tour my friend Kim introduced me to Molly Mahar and her Stratejoy road trip. Here was another smart, young woman who had packed up everything and was living out of her car traveling the country. Awesome! I emailed her “Contact Us” form immediately not expecting a response (find out… Continue Reading
Let go of the ground that has held you: Glimpse TV with Nancy Levin
Nancy Levin is a bad-ass event producer. She once lived out of a carry-on suitcase for 73 days straight. The most she’s ever been on the road in a year is 213 days. Nancy is a road warrior, no doubt, but she also happens to be a poet and one of my dear friends. When… Continue Reading
