Throughout the month I have been thinking about my chosen word for this year (Apparate) and how I can apply it to each day. This past week, I've chosen to focus solely on the Destination. In the simplest terms, I think about how the things I do each day would be handled in such a… Continue reading Destination

Apparition
"One must be completely determined to reach one's destination, and move without haste, but with deliberation." ~J.K. Rowling As the year finally comes to an end, I can't help but to look around and see how far I've come as well as how far I have to go. And the thoughts become a… Continue reading Apparition
An overdue update
Happy September! I can't believe that it's been so long since I posted anything. Time really has a way of getting away from you, doesn't it? Skipping ahead a little, I'll say this: I'm not living where I thought I'd be, but this place is better in many ways. The first being that I'm actually… Continue reading An overdue update
Closer and closer
I have nearly all my stuff in the living room now as I prepare for moving day. It feels strange to know that the next place I call "home" will be temporary but, in a way, they always are. This corner, in my 850 square feet apartment, contains almost everything that I'll be taking with… Continue reading Closer and closer
Conversations & Coffee
Lately, I've been taking a very hard look at how I use the things around my house and realizing that some of them are just not going to work in an RV. My French press, for example. To those who've never used one, you add fresh grounds to the carafe, pour in some boiled water,… Continue reading Conversations & Coffee
Memory Lane and New Paths
Now that the issue with Brianna's school has been settled, it's time to focus again on my plans as well as work on a few projects I have going. One of those projects is a story of my childhood that I intend to share with my dad since he didn't know me while I was… Continue reading Memory Lane and New Paths
Slowly, slowly
As cold temperatures race through the country, I can't help but wonder how I'm going to handle the winters. Oh, I have ideas of adding insulation, possibly the under-floor heating, and lots of wooly rugs, but will that be enough? I know that I could just drive somewhere where the temperatures are a little nicer,… Continue reading Slowly, slowly
A little less clutter
I've been working more and more on clearing things out so that I can be closer to ready when it's time to go. My old dresser has a new home, pots & pans have been sorted, clothes are chosen, even jewelry has been gone through. Most of these things are still in the house, but… Continue reading A little less clutter
A Big Step Forward
Yesterday I opened The Raven's Cauldron! I'll admit that I was pretty worried about several things, but I can't exactly figure out why. I've asked myself if it was the fear of not making any sales or maybe that no one would like the shop or that I would just lose the passion for it.… Continue reading A Big Step Forward
Fear of the unknown
As I continue going through my days and looking at how I use things around my house as well as how often I use them, I keep checking out the other blogs about traveling. Andy Baird, for example, has dozens of wonderful ideas to keep your travel plans running smoothly. (His page, his pinterest.) For… Continue reading Fear of the unknown
