“You sure do move around a lot”- hot quarter back from high school

“You’re such a free spirit”- old landlord

“I couldn’t find ya on a map if I tried, Waldo”- my dad

“You’re never going to find a man if you keep moving around”- paternal grandmother 

“Change of address completed”- UPS

A therapist once said home was inside of me. I think I took that too literally.

In March of 2021, I sold my car and put my things in storage not knowing exactly why. Since then, I have been following the whispers of Spirit leading me west to east and east to west and out of the country to walk the camino. I write a lot about intuition and faith, mostly in attempts to hone it and live it.

And like Joan Didion said, 'I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.'

Journey with me as I live the life of a seeker and nomad.

I'm a nomadic writer originally from a small town in Wisconsin. I follow the nudges of my seeking spirit and write about it.
