Not winter like I experienced in Vermont, but still winter and too cool for my liking. I come here to get away from all that. I arrived after an arduous two days of travel. I won’t bore you with the gory …

By

Vincent Van Gogh painted about 2100 pieces of art in his career -- most of them during an incredible creative streak. I learned this when I had the pleasure of attending the Immersive Van Gogh Experience in Orlando. I knew about Van Gogh, of course.

Can You Trust What You See? You Might Be Surprised. . .

By

If you live in the US, health insurance is a big deal. It's expensive, it's vital to have, and navigating the health care system is time consuming, mind numbing, and draining in every way imaginable.

Well, without going into all the gory details, a recent turn of events reminded me why it's important to have good health …

Is Now the Time to Do that Thing You’ve Always Wanted to Do?

By

Hello, fellow Anywhereists, A while back I recognized that I was feeling stuck and overwhelmed and needed to step back for a bit, take some space to breathe, and reevaluate. Since then, I’ve made two big changes. First, I started traveling again, just on a small scale, and life is looking rosier. Today I’m writing this from the dining room table at my son’s house. We arrived last night, and we’re staying for a few days, to help him celebrate his birthday. In May, I flew — for the …
