Recovery from Relocation
The longer we are active duty military, the more quickly and aptly I’m able to self-diagnose and articulate the funk I’m in. What it is this time, is something I have recently described as the Post-PCS Crash, also known as Complete Depletion. There is a process to arriving at this state of being, so I’ll… Continue reading

JUNE // A D V E N T U R E //
In 2017, I’m hunting the good stuff. I am setting aside the turmoil I see all around me and instead recording snapshots that will tell a story of fun, adventure, joy, and thankfulness.

The Woods Go To Washington
Sunday: Sunday was a travel day. We’d planned to get a way a little earlier, but we finally left Augusta around 8:30 am. We stopped at Firehouse Subs and Starbucks near Lumberton, NC. We had a few other bathroom and coffee stops and traffic really got heavy once we were in Virginia. We arrived in… Continue reading

March // A D V E N T U R E //
I don’t know about you, but I am nearly overwhelmed with all of the negativity, dissension, conflicting viewpoints, and division that seems to be threatening to overtake my heart and mind.
