Rv Map of visited states and provinces I stuck my map up on the door, carefully matching velcro strips I'd placed along the edge of a sheet of vinyl. I stood back and looked at my work. The edge was crooked, which irritated me a little, I thought I cut it straight. Isn't that just like life? We plan in straight lines, but the actuality is always a different matter. I kept the map as it was, happy with the symbolism. When I bought this fifth wheel, I thought I'd have it forever, but here I was, afraid to stick the map of my travels directly on the exterior wall of the trailer. Rather than displaying it for all passers-by to see, it only bragged of my nomadic lifestyle when the weather was warm enough to have the door open. I'm proud of the places I've traveled as a solo female RVer, especially since I was pulling a 33-foot fifth wheel. My entire rig was 50-feet long, …

It was a big deal! The Y2K talk had run amok, and people were spouting the crashing of computers all over the world as each internal clock hit midnight. It was also a time of growing concern about terrorists. 9/11 hadn’t happened yet, but there was a lot of chatter and warning that a terrorist attempt was imminent on New Year’s Eve. We, in the United States, had been introduced to terrorism as there was a domestic and international upswing in incidents. Nothing like what we’ve experienced since, but at the time, it caught the world’s collective attention. It was a time of fear never experienced in such a world-wide magnitude in our years prior. We’d planned to spend New Year’s Eve at the …
Taking a Bite Out of Positive Thinking
I began to listen to Abraham-Hicks for daily motivation many years ago. If you’ve heard of Abraham Hicks, you’ll either love her or think the entire concept is odd. I am in both camps. Regardless of the oddity surrounding the source of the Law of Attraction lessons, I still believe the message itself is a good one. Having been raised in an environment that offered mostly negative feedback, it takes constant vigilance to rewire your brain towards gratitude and positivity. I started rewiring my brain during college, but decades later, I still require regular doses of reminders. A maintenance plan, of sorts. Me, the summer before I began college. Esther Hicks, channeling Abraham, helped maintain my rewiring process. There are a few of the Law of Attraction concepts I tried to support wholeheartedly but have not found them to be 100% accurate. One of those concepts is that I …
