Return from the Red Rocks

Ah, really, there is nothing like the feeling of driving into Sedona. There is something about seeing those majestic red rock formations that just forces me to relax. It is one of the reasons I wanted to spend my birthday weekend up there. Another reason is that I am always inspired by the beauty of [...]

France Travel Journal – Final Installment

Finally, we have reached the final “chapter” of our trip to France. Grab your cup of coffee and a croissant and enjoy!
From Aix in Provence, we had a two-hour drive to Nice. Dave and I were both looking forward to a shorter trip than we had the day before. I was quite tired and my [...]

One more Paris Post

One more post about Paris. While there, I did take care to relax a lot between activities. It’s a walking city, so I was glad to have my cane. But I needed to be very mindful about my energy. And so I spent a lot of time in our hotel room. There was not much [...]

French Travel Journal, Part 2

So, where was I? Oh, yes, we were soaking wet in our red touristy ponchos at the Eiffel Tower…
After the soaking wet fiasco at the Eiffel Tower, [...]

Final Preparations for France

I can’t believe it’s almost here! Monday we leave for France! I’ve had a mixture of feelings about this trip – anxiety about being in a strange country and with limited knowledge of the language; excitement at the idea of seeing France; trepidation about the flight, since I don’t know how it will affect my [...]

Countdown to France

We’ve officially reached the 10-day countdown to our trip! Woo!
So, right now I’m at home getting my monthly IV my treatment so I can be “ready” for the trip with my balance, hopefully, AOK!
This week I did the usual running around to get as much done as possible before my treatment, since I never know [...]

CreativeTherapy and Trip Preparations

Yesterday the latest of the CreativeTherpy Catalysts was published. I participated, so stop over there to take a look at my response to this week’s catalyst, if you haven’t already! It felt so good to draw again and to pick up the watercolor pencils! I’m trying to work ahead on some other catalysts so [...]
