It is morning here on my side of the United States. I am sitting by the window on the tenth floor of the hotel we are staying in. We were lucky to get a view of the ocean this time. A pelican is diving for fish below. I watch as it flies high into the… Continue reading No Instructions
What does it take to make a break through in a new place? Whether it is in a job or a new town. How long does it take to get to know someone and make a connection? Before I met my husband and decided to travel the world I worked for a coffee company. I… Continue reading Making Connections
Out and about I’ve discovered new spots for lunch and dinner in the southern town where I now reside and plant of galleries that support local artists and a museum across the bay. In my continued quest to eat gluten and dairy free, sometimes it’s just plain difficult. So, most of the time I eat… Continue reading Out and About

Coffee, tea or both? It’s quite a dilemma. I used to be a coffee drinker. Truth is, we’ve had a love and hate relationship. This has been an on again, off again kind of thing for many years. I love the smell of freshly roasted coffee beans and brewed coffee and sometimes I like the… Continue reading Coffee, Tea or both?
