Let's Wander
Let's See Where This Goes
Wandering through sketchbooks, family trees, neurodiversiy, maps, and parts of the world that actually make sense to me.
The Latest Wanderings
120 Days Not Smoking
Today is 120 days of not smoking cigarettes. Yay me! I started smoking when I was around 15 years old, quit many times, and restarted even more times. I originally quit the day I found out I was pregnant with my first child and didn’t start again until well after having my second (and last)
15-Minute Ecuador Citizenship Call
I had a free call last year to learn about getting dual citizenship. I began gathering the documents, hit a giant brick wall, and gave up. I was okay with pausing the process at the time. I accepted that I had enough family tree stuff to work on and that I could put that on

Partially out of necessity.
Partially out of how things feel when slowing down.
I wander touching the things that can be touched, feeling the emotions that emote, and hearing the sounds around me.
The most valuable thing I have found while wandering at this slower, more intentional way of life is myself.
