Pura Vida!
As many of you know, I’m an avid traveller, and have been trying to blog about my travels to help inform and inspire fellow travellers.

Thank You, Obama
I’ve been on Team Obama for almost ten years, well before he won his first primary. I’ve read his books and followed his campaign and career very closely. I consider myself to be a pretty good judge of character, and I’ve never understood it when people professed that they “hated Obama.” I mean, seriously, how […]
How Leaving the Country Saved my Sanity

I love everything […]

This past weekend, I gathered with family in Maryland to say goodbye to my dear mother-in-law, Phyllis Estelle Garrard Lewis. It’s been a difficult couple of months for my husband and his family, as we braced ourselves for her passing, gathering to say our final goodbyes. I will always cherish the memory of my last […]
Cover Crisis
So we’ve hit a snag in the cover design process… and I need everyone’s help. We’ve been working on the design for The Space Between cover for the past few months. This has been a really challenging process for me, because I’m not really visual, so I didn’t have a “concept” in mind for the […]
