This is such a powerful time of year! I hope you're all embracing the coming changes and growth as much as I am... I have a feeling it's going to be a fruitful year! We have been settling into life here... School has been SO intense for me! But in all the right ways, it is exactly what I'd been hoping for. My class is a group of 8 beautiful, diverse women, aging from 23 to 63! I wanted to share with you some pictures from an equinox bonfire we went to. It was south of town, out where the land [View Full Entry]

It can snow here too Got about 6-8 inches in less than 12 hours. It was mostly melted by the end of the day I took the photos. I thought it was fun with all the statues, made for some interesting shots. Hope you're all doing well -bye for now! -Mike and Brit [View Full Entry]

Come visit, it's purty here Hello one and all and all the rest of you. Not much to say in this entry -just wanted to send out some new pictures. Brit started school on monday and she's already real tired but extremely excited. I've got to start cooking dinner more often - gotta feed my gal! We've been exploring the area a bit more - hikin', bikin' and ramblin' around. I broke down and bought another bike (only 20 bucks). It's a small project - an old one speed without a brand name on it. My uncle Mike gave me [View Full Entry]

Happy Picture Time !!! My cousin Marcie and her partner Michelle took us on other amazing hike. This one was six miles round trip and left us recovering for days afterward. (Like four days later I couldn't figure out why I was dragging ass - sore, tired, grumpy - and then it dawned on me; hiking 6 miles in snowshoes at 11,000 feet will affect you for awhile. So all of these pictures were taken on the Aspen Vista trail which is about 13 miles northeast of downtown Santa Fe. The drive up there was insane. Twists and turns, cliff [View Full Entry]

Hittin' the Trails Our first excursion in New Mexico... This awesome landscape is nestled 40 minutes outside of Santa Fe. Kasha-Katuwe means white cliffs in the language of the nearby Cochiti Pueblo. The tent rocks have been formed by water and wind over the ages. You can check out the layers of rock on the way up, and then get a panoramic view of the surrounding tundra from the top. Even though its winter and only about 40*, its so toasty in the sun, when you're 7000 feet closer! Along the trail you can seek out little translucent brown/black stones calle [View Full Entry]

Hawaii: sand, sun and not much fun So sometimes things don't work out how we imagine they might... Nine months in paradise turned into two weeks of scooping horse poo and getting eaten alive by mosquitos. The farm we were depending on was dissappointing to say the least. And Hawaii as a whole didn't mesh with our perogatives. For such a lush and beautiful place, it is saddening how much its taken for granted and mis-used. So, about a month into our journey, we find ourselves in Santa Fe, NM. And already the universe has been ultimately more open to [View Full Entry]

Train-o-mania Happy New Year everybody! Miss you all dearly, but we're not sorry to have missed the onslaught of snow! We rode through some beautiful bits of snowy tundra on our train ride here, but we were trapped inside a climate-controlled caboose. The train ride was a nice, slow transition, and felt like we were travelling in a twilight zone for 3 days (we didn't know, and it didn't matter what time of what day it was). We got to see the backyards of many a state-all beautiful in their own way. It was good to become a bit more familiar [View Full Entry]

Time is such an odd thing when you hold a definition to it. In no less than 10 Earth days Mike and I will begin our cross country travels. Being that its Christmas, our "to-do-before-we-go" list is exponentially more intimidating than it might've been this summer. I'm pretty sure we're both looking forward to a long exhale once we get on the train. We hope you'll stick with us for the journey... [View Full Entry]
