I’ve spent the last several months starting and stopping. Seems like the thing to do while traveling with no real agenda or itinerary. Not knowing or planning too far ahead…all in the hopes of just being available for what lies around the bend. For the most part it has been quite satisfying but it carries […]
Love with Deep Roots
We spent a few days with a young couple in Boulder. Friends, whom we’ve been journeying with for the last few years. They live life with intention and deep faith. He left a good gig in Silicon Valley to help her pursue her passion to create a platform supporting women entrepreneurs. They’ve had their share […]
Planting Trees or Planting Flowers?
In this phase of our journey, there has been a lot of stuff going on. Moving more deeply into some relationships, moving away from others. Reconnecting at deeper levels (not always well) with those who have shared so much of our life journey with us. The most defining aspect of this process for both Bob and […]
Half Time
When Colleene and I began this journey we figured it would entail about a year commitment. This dedication of time was put in place to enable us to truly get a feel of life away from the comforts of established friendships and local tradition. We set our path in that direction to shake up the […]
The Poor are not a Project
The time Bob and I have had together has been very special, and precious for both of us. We weren’t sure that either of us would appreciate that much “intense together” time. But we found it only strengthened our bond and love for one another. A time in which we discovered a renewed mutual appreciation, […]
Bob’s Heart on Home
You’ll notice in the following entry that I have spanned a period of approximately one month writing in diary style. My mind has wandered as circumstances have changed during that time. The first note is while we were still in New Zealand. The next entry was after we had returned to Morgan Hill for a […]
There’s Nothing Doubtful About This Sound
So hanging out in the glacier area of the western part of the South Island comes with a lot of beautiful scenery. You would seriously get bored with all the beautiful pics. We found that there is a lot to do in this area, particularly in regards to hiking, and both summer and winter sports. […]
Hanging with Peeps
Colleene and I were finally on the road a few days ago after a delayed start. We had stopped off at the coffee shop that we had been visiting frequently and the ladies spent some time chatting. It seems that one of the staffers there really liked the color of Colleene’s hair and wanted to […]
Pursuing New Heights
Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God. John Muir Starting with children’s games (remember “King of the Hill?”) to the ever-reaching conquests of man (technology, athletics, science, the race to reach the moon…) we always seem to be […]
Bob Shares a Mind Full
Well, it’s been a little over 3 months now since we sold the house and started living “on the road”. Considering the major hit on emotions that we took I’m actually very surprised where we stand thus far. Let’s take a step back and describe a couple of the events and how it affected me. […]
