I’m sure you’ve seen the hilariously poignant satirical commercial of Nature RX, prescribing a dose of Nature for those suffering from “cynicism, meaningless, and murderous rage.” And if you haven’t seen it yet…you need to watch. (scroll to the bottom of this post to see it) The best satire always strikes at the heart of a […]

I sat there frozen in disbelief as Cody knelt down in front of me with a tiny box in-hand. Looking around the room in the busy restaurant at the people watching this happen, I said, “Are you effing serious?!” Tears immediately began streaming down my face before the moment really even sunk in. As I […]

{Random Instagram Image} Here’s a fun fact: My first blog post was published on June 26th of 2006. That means that I’ve been blogging on Wayfaring Wanderer for a little over five years now. Sheez louise, that’s a long time! When I started blogging, I had no clue as to what it was all about. […]

I must confess. This year, I was a little bummed out about not having a grand getaway planned for my birthday. You see, for the past four years or so, taking a trip for my birthday has become a tradition, but not this year. It’s mainly because October has shaped up to be a pretty […]

While it has most definitely warmed up here in the High Country, the weather still likes to yo-yo.

In a few short hours, I will be crossing the threshold of my tumultuous twenties and stepping into, what I know will be, my burgeoning thirties. Unlike many other people passing this milestone, I won’t be entering my thirties plagued by hesitation or crippled by reservations. Quite the contrary, actually. For the first time in […]

It has been one busy month. Not that I’m complaining because I obviously enjoy being on the go. In the past few weeks we have taken a trip to Charleston, attended the Music on the Mountaintop Festival and hung out with friends at a house on the lake for Labor Day weekend.  In between those […]

This is by far the longest I have been MIA from this blog. I’ve thought about blogging those excluded adventures more times than I can count, but my follow through is what was lacking; I kept finding something else to do. It seems like the longer you let it go, the easier it is to […]

Well, I did it!And, truthfully, it wasn’t that bad. I practiced with Cody what I had plannedto say, but in the end, I really didn’t use the entire ‘speech’. Before the meeting Ireceived so many reassurances about my public speaking concerns because Icouldn’t help but share my anxieties. Talking about it helped me overcome myworry, […]
