The Sound of Rain

There is just something about the sound of rain after a nice, warm spring day.  There are very few things that can compare, except for the smell of the air and the sound of the birds rejoicing in said rain!  Oh and the belly laughter of kids who are enjoying life in ways we adults have long forgot about.  The rain comes and washes away the dirt and sorrows of the Earth and brings new life, a renewal to the dry, dusty days before.  It is refreshing and brings hope that better days are ahead.  

History has proven that there are years where we experience an abundance of rain and years where we experience a lack of.  All of which give us hardships in their own way, as well as a test to our faith and patience.  It's a cycle of the Earth.  It's a give and take relationship that Mother Nature and God do to restore balance.   

I have always been most comfortable in nature and I tend to be a highly emotional person more times than I'd like to admit.  There are times that I cry daily, but not because I am sad, but because I am overwhelmed with many emotions and many feelings that they have no choice but to come out in the form of tears and there are times where I have no tears at all.  I feel like that might be how the rain works for Earth too.  Sometimes the Earth cries a freaking monsoon because she is done with how she is being treated, sometimes the Earth provides a nice steady rain to cleanse her soul and provide healing, sometimes the Earth decides not to rain at all because she's busy and just trying to keep the world afloat, and there are times when she cries thunderstorms just for her people.

Life is such a strange, crazy journey and we are all here for such a small part of the Earth's life cycle.  While we are scared, lonely and sad, this too shall pass and there will be sunny days again!  Much love to you all!!

Embracing Myself

I went into 2026 with a goal of being more present, more mindful and really just embracing this busy phase of my life.  I want to live more purposeful and less resentful!  Through this reflection process, I've decided to go back and revisit blogging.  I've also decided to dive deep into a travel advisory adventure, and honestly just revisit Me! Life is a series of ebb and flows, positives and negatives, and everything in between! My last few years have been beautiful, but I have also had a low vibe energy flow that has been draining.  I went into this year focusing on how I can work to change that low vibe into a high vibe energy, and as I continue to reflect, I think going back to the basics is where it is at. What makes me feel good.  What makes me feel confident. What make me Me! I started with some journaling, working on my health and the biggest thing is taking a few moments each day to 'pray' to the Universe for guidance as well as for healing and happines...

My Travel Advisor Business

For the longest time, I've felt like there was so much more that I could be doing to reach my long term goals.  I have a career that provides security and stability, all things that are very important to me, but there's just that spark that has been missing which leaves me feeling a little unfulfilled.  I've daydreamed about opening my own plant/coffee/garden/bakery - or whatever hobby I've picked up on - business, but trying to start up a small business in rural, small town Iowa is hard, scary and I don't necessarily feel confident enough in my skill set to jump head first into such a big risk while still trying to provide for my family.   Is that an excuse?  Absolutely!  Is my fear hindering me?  Again, Absolutely!  There are so many successful small businesses in our community, why the heck couldn't I be one of them!   Thank you ' You Are a Badass®: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life ' by Jen Sincero,...

Being Fair is Not Easy

I so do not want to put my drama out there, but I am in a position where I am fed up.  I am a single Mom, by my own choice! Why, because I never want my daughter to grow up and think that certain behaviors are tolerable because she is a woman and I never ever want my son to grow up thinking it is ok to treat the women in his life as a less than because it's her duty as a woman. I've worked very hard in my life to get to where I am, physically, spirituality and emotionally.  Not many people who have met me will describe me as less than strong - maybe slightly closed - but strong and so very kind.  Yet I have my own weaknesses and struggles too.  Going through divorce and trying to be kind and forgiving while everyone tells you how much the other person is struggling is certainly a moment of humility for me.  Will I tell them my reasons?  Will I tell them my side of the story?  Or will I swallow my pride and let them feel bad?  Sadly, I'll probabl...
