Real Time

March 26, 2023

The day has finally arrived!
I am back to “real-time” with my blog.
After losing my sister to pancreatic cancer in January, I have been hanging out in Bellingham, Washington, taking a break from my nomadic ways to help settle my sister’s affairs and spend time with family.
I was fortunate to negotiate a reasonable price on a three-month furnished rental home with a view of Lake Whatcom. It has been the perfect place to process my grief, rest, meditate, recharge, and entertain friends and family.
My car is packed, and I will hit the road tomorrow morning. A part of me is very sad to depart. It’s been pleasant to have this temporary home, but I can’t deny the pull to adventure. And I feel like I have a new home to return to here in Washington.

If you’ve never visited Bellingham, I highly recommend it. There is an abundance of parks and trails in the area. I’ve walked and hiked many, but there are many more to discover. I’ve also skied Mount Baker and cross-country skied at Salmon Ridge.
I look forward to returning this summer to spend more time with family and new friends and enjoy the great outdoors.
