Writing for a Travel Inspired Company

I had the opportunity to write for a company called Wayfarerwolf that inspires travel  .... This is what I had to say & learned traveling for 5 months, driving 13,000 miles and visiting 17states....

Fernweh. The ache to travel after years of growing up and living in the same area started to set in. I decided to get rid of most of my belongings and made plans to set out on an adventure. I wanted to fulfill this craving of fernweh inside of me. The interesting thing is the further I went, the further I wanted to go. The longer I was gone, the longer I wanted to travel. The more people I met, the bigger my heart grew to crave meeting another.

As I began and took steps I had never taken in places I had never seen, I ended up finding people who enriched my life and experience greatly.

The places I have been continue to take me to new places and the people I have met continue to amaze me in the places they have been.

I now know there is no quenching this fernweh, so I will spend my days going to new places and I hope you do too!

My Grandfather's Hands

My grandfather's hands. These hands..... These hands have calmed horses, fought in the Korean War, molded clay into pottery, stacked lumber, milked cows, plowed fields, stripped tobacco, held grand kids, played the organ..... And the story of these hands never end. My favorite thing these hands do though is explain the endless stories that I listen to as I sit on the couch with my grandfather. In my grandfathers last days it was an honor to sit at his side and hold these hands! 

Because Im his Daughter....

I wrote this about my earthly and heavenly Fathers. Being this daughter has molded me into the woman that I am, given me the freedom to reach for my dreams and the courage/confidence to fight for anything.



Because I'm his daughter I stand up for what I believe in, I don't hide who I am.

Because I'm his daughter I know I am loved, my sins are forgiven, I am his princess.

Because I'm his daughter I am never truly lost, I show my true colors, I seek out the lost.

Because I'm his daughter I am alive, I am blessed, and my identity will always include him.

Because I'm his daughter I am not waiting on the world to change, I am changing the world.

Because I'm his daughter.............
