Life of a Renaissance Gal
Many years ago I read the book, Making a Living Without a Job. It spoke to my soul, this idea that one can survive without a traditional job. Multiple profit centers sounded perfect for this multipotentialite; plus those profit centers could be location independent, giving me the flexibility to see more of the world. It’s…
This technically isn’t graffiti. It was also taken last November on a trip to Austin; it seems like so long ago. Oh how I long to travel again.
I did not intend to take such a big break from the blog. The last few weeks got away from me – I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep (mostly due to Charlotte’s storm anxiety and the neverending thunderstorms). In addition to that, there have been some changes at the law office and things…
Spending a week on Kauai in January can go a long way towards curing the winter blues. In fact I loved it so much, I’m trying to figure out how to make it happen every January. January falls in the rainy season on the island; but generally, if it’s raining on one side of the…
Reading… Less. I did the audiobook of this one. I’m not sure I would have made it through if I’d done the actually book. There were parts I liked and parts I found boring. Ultimately, I ended up liking it enough that I gave it 4 out of 5 stars on my book list. Watching……

I struggled with what to photograph for “far away.” I ended up opting to use this photo taken in California this spring. It’s looking down from the door to my room (separate from the rest of the house) to the patio.
I mentioned yesterday that I took a short trip to California. My father’s cousin passed away in January; my mom, aunt and I went out for her memorial service. We stayed at a beautiful airbnb in Pasadena. I’m not sure I will ever stay in a hotel again. I loved staying in a house in the…
I mentioned yesterday that my mom and I took a short trip to Fort Worth. We went down on the train, the Heartland Flyer, Friday morning and then came back on the train, Saturday evening. It was nice to get out of town and have a change of scenery. I wish the weather hadn’t been…
Val d’ Orcia, Tuscany, Italy Yesterday I listened to part of Chris Guillebeau’s free workshop on Travel Hacking. There was a lot of great information. Unfortunately, I only got bits and pieces here and there since I was listening to it while I worked. The good news is, the videos from the workshop can be purchased…
