I'm Un~nerved

Perfectly labeled and the most impressive surprise of the site. I guess my expectations were of something grand, spacious, and what I had determined in my mind that was “fit for a president”. What I found was a cozy humble abode that provided a refuge from the world hidden between Mountain View’s and forested pines.…

Stone Mountain State Park Seams like the world remains at a constant simmer, as humans continue to exist amongst the madness. That tension fills the air, open your mouth, taste it. The hate that clouds judgement, destroys relationships and sets a city ablaze is rampant, and the beauty found on Stone Mountain celebrates it. Yes,…

Martin Luther King Sr. Heritage Trail Martin Luther King Sr. Heritage Trail was my first local stop after stay at home restrictions were extended. Right off Highway 138 in downtown Stockbridge, you will notice the flags marking the trail. I have driven this trail many days but decided to pay attention on one of the…

Egypt was my first opportunity to cross continents as an adult. After 9-11 I had avoided international travel because I was simply paranoid of flying, especially as a new mother. But when the opportunity presented itself it wasn’t a question of if I would go, more of when were we going! I’m so glad that…

Many times the accomplishments of others leave us feeling intimidated. We might say “oh I can’t do something of that magnitude, or that type of success will never happen to me I’m just a regular person”. I’m sure Ramesses II didn’t have that type of mindset, to leave a legacy for thousands of years to…

When leaving your mark on the world is definitely an understatement! Ramesses II also known as Ramesses the Great for good reason. After all of the sights I had seen sweating across Egypt, landing on the banks of Lake Nasser and crossing the sands around what simply looked like small mountains of rocks, opened to…

You only think you know turbulence! I’ve been flying since before I can remember, I’ve flown in every type and size plane, I’ve flown in military planes, I’ve flown in thunder, rain and snow. I’ve experienced some awful turbulence but I have never really thought the plane was going to fall out the sky. The…

Some might say I’m partial to boys because I have a son, it’s true. I love the way boys maintain a constant air of mischief, always into something, on an adventure, opening a neighborhood business, playing sports, driving early, and of course bothering girls. I find those that simply drive you crazy because they can’t…

I love nothing better than supporting local crafts while traveling. I will admit, I do not have the ability to haggle, and I really don’t believe in it. Why would I have the means to afford to fly halfway across the world and then try to pay 10 dollars for a bracelet you are selling…

We like to believe that education in other parts of the world is somehow subpar to what students receive in the United States. Learning takes place in many places, not just traditional classrooms. I was in awe of a young man with Down Syndrome that was adjusting the sails on a Felucca, thinking if he…
