My first attempt at self-expression was in the summer of 1970. My mother was rolling down a grassy hill in New England and threw up.

Thirty-seven years and hundreds of thousands of experiences later and I’ve slowly evolved into a traveling, journaling, freelancing, photographing, mischief-making, land-buying, house-building, homeschooling, road-addicted, heights-fearing, risk-taking, book-collecting, strange, insatiably curious, wicked, wandering, feast-and-famine loving, often mild-mannered but always restless mother of two whose contents refuse to settle. Dizzying to some, I’m sure, but at least my mother eventually stopped throwing up.

The abbreviated version: I’m a writer, editor and communications geek based in New Mexico — a place I keep coming back to no matter where else I try to go. I have two big dogs, two spastic cats, two feral teenagers and I wander a lot.

Adventure isn’t hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day to day obstacles of life – facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our resources against the unknown and in the process, discovering our own unique potential.  – JOHN AMATT

How time flies. It’s been more than eight years since I created this web site as a way of sharing daily images and travelogues from a kamikaze, 6,000-mile road trip I was about to hit the road for. It did its job alright, and created a firmly-planted public journaling addiction in the process (the term “blog” hadn’t yet to made its way to the mainstream back then). In the years following that trip, this place gradually became home to photo galleries, a blog, more travelogues, a social gathering place and a way to focus on and share experiences as our lives rolled on.

Today it remains a little bit of all of those things, and I can’t begin to express my gratitude for the many fantastic people and conversations it’s deposited at my virtual doorstep.
