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 is expansive and mountains lay along the horizons. The friends who hosted the gathering are a wonderful couple who live in a converted school bus-which is so beautifully put together! Peace and Blessings! ... read more

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 an idea for the next blog. Theres a guy in town who sells a bunch of old vintage bikes. He just locks them up to various posts around town with his phone number written on ... read more

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 called Apache Tears. They're beautiful, but have a sad story. They are supposed to be the tears of Apache widows, mourning the losses in a massacre of their warrior husbands. As their tears hit the ground, ... read more

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 with our country. The first 2 days were all blue-skies, but on the 3rd day, everything was white! As we went through tunnels in the Rockies it was one (gasp!) good view after another. Our ... read more
