9 Clever Ways to Travel Without Taking Time Off Work

Feb 23 Leave a Comment

Sometimes you just need to get away. Like most people, I love a good, long vacation. Airplanes, luggage, a whole week unplugged from email. But, also like most people, I don’t have the time or resources to take these kinds of vacations frequently.

How to Create Your Life Vision: 4 Questions to Ask Yourself

Feb 19 Leave a Comment

Like I confessed to you in Monday’s post, I love formulas and rules and instructions. I constantly try to boil things down into steps and procedures. I dislike gray areas. I choke on ambiguity. (But clearly, not on hyperbole.) This is why I’m a full-time copyeditor who just happens to write, instead of a full-time writer. So please forgive me for trying to take a critical, creative process and simplify it into a finite number of steps and questions. My hope is not that this confines you, but that it helps to dispel some of the cloudiness surrounding what I… Read More

Creating Silence and Space during Lent

Feb 18 Leave a Comment

The timing of Lent is perfect. It usually begins sometime in February, not long after our New Year’s resolutions have failed and our motivation to reach new goals has fizzled out. The thing about Lent is that it’s only 40 days long—I can do almost anything for 40 days. And if I make a mistake, I haven’t failed and ruined what was finally going to be the year of PERFECTION. I know the Lord will forgive me and let me try again.

How the Search for Simplicity Leads to Contentment

Feb 16 Leave a Comment

I recently took one of those quizzes that was trending on my Facebook feed. You know the ones I’m talking about: “Which Frozen Character Are You?” (Elsa), “Which Decade Should You Have Lived In?” (the 1950s), and “Which Color-Number Combination Best Represents Your Philosophy on Cooking?” (I may have made up that last one). This quiz was called “Which State Should You Live In?” (By the way, I was hoping for California.) According to my quiz results, I should really live in Hawaii. I’LL TAKE IT. Here’s the explanation that went with it: “The slower pace of island life is… Read More

Wielding Our Spending Power Wisely [Part 2 of 2]

Feb 12 Leave a Comment

In part 1 of this little series, I shared some initial thoughts about why many people don’t travel much, despite their desire to do so. I fully acknowledge that travel can be costly in terms of money and time (though it doesn’t have to be). But while many people say they can’t afford to travel, I believe traveling is possible when we shift our mindsets and our priorities. My theory (actually, “theory” is a generous term . . . let’s call it “speculation”) is that people assume they can’t travel because they have one or two big misconceptions:

Debunking the Mythical Definition of Travel [Part 1 of 2]

Feb 9 Leave a Comment

I’ve been ruminating on these words from Robert Louis Stevenson for several months now: “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.” What I hear in his words is simply this: “It doesn’t matter where you go. Just go.”

The Challenges of Roots, Wings, and Defining This Blog

Feb 5 Leave a Comment

I realize that my first post was a sweeping, fly-over introduction of the concept behind this blog and my own heart. Quite a big task for a single post, and I kind of feel like I need to breathe deeply into a paper bag, as it is now public and I’m really doing this whole blogging thing. To be honest, I felt more fear and vulnerability after I shared that post than I did before I took the leap. Thanks to all of you who read that first piece and offered up your kind words. It means so much to me. As I was… Read More
