Living life in pursuit of ten feet tall, still!
Now that I’m home and showered, time for my favorite thing: a trip report! The short version: a magical and relaxing time in the mountains with a good friend. More below the photo dump!

In the series of books I’m named for (The God Stalker Chronicles, by PC Hodgell), a major plot point is something called “the soulscape”.

At long last, I was able to join the wonderful group of folks my trainer gathers around for the last horse camping trip of the season, for me at least, probably.

Read MoreSpring has arrived & with it my driving need to do all the things, every day, all at once. The longer days also bring with the increased energy to get more done-not all the things, but more than Winter Jamé feels like bothering with. Riding, hiking, DMV, house cleaning & writing all in the same […]
Read MoreI wasn’t quite sure where to start this post, or more like journal entry, but stream of consciousness has usually been my go to, so here goes… This week I turned 27, which compared to most of my coworkers leaves me the baby of the office. And yet I don’t feel like a […]
