London Take Two: Day 7 – May 29, 2017
When I rolled my suitcase off my plane a week ago and made my way towards the Tube, full of happy anticipation for what lay ahead of me, I knew that it would feel like no time at all had passed before I had to do it again, this time headed the other direction. Rather Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 6 – May 28, 2017
Where did the time go? When I wake tomorrow morning, I’ll only have two full days left head of me to explore London before I make my way to the airport Wednesday. Part of me feels like I’ve been here forever. I’m so used to the Tube, the sounds of the city, the traffic, the Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 5 – May 27, 2017
Today, as per my new plan to slow down a bit rather than pack as much sight-seeing as I can into one day, I chose one main adventure: my favorite place in all of London. Westminster Abbey. For those of you out there who aren’t history geeks (but I mean, come on, you should be), Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 4 – May 26, 2017
Be warned: This blogpost – very much like this entire day – is a long one! I’m beginning this at 10pm London time (2pm Arizona time) while sitting at my Airbnb flat’s dining room table with the terrace door open behind me so I can feel the fresh air and hear the sounds of the Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 3 – May 25, 2017
My brain and body were yelling at each other all day today. Brain: “Let’s go here! And here! And keep moving, keep moving, we have to go there, over, and also there!” Legs, feet, neck, back, arms: “BUT WHY.” Yep. Jet lag struck, and it struck with a vengeance. I woke up around 7:30am (11:30pm Continue reading

London Take Two: Day 2 – May 24, 2017
I briefly entertained the thought of taking this day easy when I woke up with the sun this morning (6am London time, 10pm Arizona time). And then I proceeded to explore city for nine straight hours. I woke up with no plan, really, though I did have a two-hour Tube tour booked to which I Continue reading

London Take Two: Day One (and One and a Half) – May 22-23, 2017
Earlier, as I dazedly walked through the crowded, bustling streets of London, rolling a small suitcase and double-checking my phone every five seconds to make sure I was getting where I needed to go, I found myself humming a line from the opening song from La La Land: “I could be brave or just insane… Continue reading

LONDON TAKE TWO: The One Week Before Departure Post
It’s happening. I repeat: It’s actually happening. A week from tomorrow, I land in London after close to four years of dreaming of the day I return. In June of 2013, I participated in a two-week long study abroad experience for the ASU School of Sustainability’s program during which I studied sustainability policy in governance. Continue reading

The Weakest Step
I see her in the mountains. I see her in every saguaro and palo verde and creosote bush. I feel her in every breath of wind and in the sun on my face. I hear her charging across the sky. I look all around me and she is there, breathing life into my aching heart. Continue reading

An Announcement: Sonora
She’s gone. My little girl, my sister from the moment our eyes met, my beautiful, young, wild and spirited mare joined the Great Herd today at 12:30. Her X-rays yesterday showed further rotation in both front feet and her coffin bones were actually starting to sink. She was losing weight, her poor legs shook with Continue reading
