40’ Big Country RV Yesterday, I made a friend. Her name is Deb H. and she’s a full-time traveler. As she moves around, she sees clients as a family constellation therapist. She’s also one heck of a storyteller and a great creative who has written and performed a one-woman show. Beth was teaching and Deb …
Do you like to know what’s next? I do. I like to know that when I wake up, I’m going to go through my morning routine and then get to work. After putting in a day of whatever needs doing, I like to chillax alone or with friends and drift off to sleep with a …
I’m feeling much better, today, after a really rough 48 hours. In 12-step programs, it’s referred to as “hitting bottom”. Luckily, I have what’s called a high bottom, meaning that I don’t have to get too low before I bounce back. (My father had a low bottom and he lost everything but his life due …
I hesitate to write this post because I’m experiencing some difficult emotions, today. The performer-salesman in me wants to show off my “happy and peppy and bursting with love” side, the guy who has been cheerfully championing the adventure. But I’m going to take a risk and not manage your opinion of me – as …
We’ve landed in Savannah, Georgia for the next leg of our trip – 28 days in the land of peach cider and gators. Our first campsite wasn’t what we expected so we put on a little northern charm and got a better one. And it is literally next to a little body of water where …
Last night we pulled into Charleston, South Carolina after five hours of driving. Parking the rug in front of a local supermarket, we turned on our GPS to get walking directions to my nephew’s home. He lives here with his girlfriend, Kait (pictured above).. The road into the city is lined with trees, palms and …
Yesterday and today, we used the hotel ironing board to support Beth’s computer. We’ve shifted furniture, hung up her backdrop and used portable lighting to allow her to reach her yoga students. A typical morning on this, our six- day journey to Savannah, begins with a quick shower, walking Bradley, our dog, in the parking …
The USS Bierko, the name I chose for our truck and camper combo (and our WiFi address), has landed in the south! At 12 noon, we departed Bryn Mawr after Beth taught her chair yoga class and arrived in Alexandria, Virginia around 5:30pm. Despite dire predictions about the weather and Friday afternoon D.C. traffic, we …
The Final Good Bye There was exhaustion, lost in it Barely able to think straight To function Bone-weary tired like never before Some combination of lousy sleep Manual labor, mental fatigue And bereavement There was stuff, so much of it Still After months of clearing out and cleaning up Hauling off Selling, donating, delivering, giving …
We are spending two nights with our friend, Bill G., recuperating from the past few weeks. I have listened to the advice of those who love me, to rest before making more forward progress to our first campground in Savannah, GA. When we pulled out of Yorktown Heights, our truck groaned with the combined weight …
