Day Two: Life is a Highway(s).

March 3, 2019March 3, 2019 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 4 Comments

Human Beings appear to travel at least two great highways in life.  One is a visible, external one. It’s the one usually described in our obituary. It sometimes includes actual highways and it moves us from place to place. Roadsigns along the way name our important relationships and life events; distances are measured in years. … Continue reading Day Two: Life is a Highway(s).

A Month in a Minivan 2019: Day One

March 2, 2019March 2, 2019 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 24 Comments

Welcome to “A Month in a Minivan” - the 2019 edition. I did this last year, and as a writer, it was super satisfying to have a daily practice. Although I thrive in this mostly non-stuctured life, I sometimes crave something measurable to work toward and having a commitment to write each day for a … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan 2019: Day One

The Nomad’s Front Porch

February 14, 2019February 14, 2019 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 24 Comments

At first glance, I’m challenged to find the obvious tie that binds the 8000 or so souls gathering each year at the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous (RTR) and Womens’ RTR (WRTR) in the Sonoran desert of Arizona. A survey of the parked vehicles suggests membership probably isn’t defined by rig-choice or economics. Large, newer-model, Class A … Continue reading The Nomad’s Front Porch

All I Need

December 23, 2018December 23, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 8 Comments

It’s not quite dawn and I’m sitting in the van around the corner from my sisters’ house in Oshawa, where I slept last night. Pippa is wondering why we have stopped so soon. I’m waiting for a text from either of my sisters, telling me what I’ve forgotten at their house. I always forget something, … Continue reading All I Need

This Vantastic Life: The Accidental Vortex

March 12, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 8 Comments

If you’ve been following my Sedona “mini-series” you know I worked on “letting Sedona come to me” rather than curating the experience; letting go of expectations for that Sedona energy thing. I need to finish my story now. Because, although it took a bit of time, Sedona did arrive. For three days I stayed in … Continue reading This Vantastic Life: The Accidental Vortex

This Vantastic Life: My Sedona

March 3, 2018March 4, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 12 Comments

Because Sedona is commonly referred to as a very special and unique place, I’m tempted to grow all kinds of expectations around being here. Hopes for what I might see, feel and experience. Being a spiritually curious  person, I might even be tempted to hope for a life-changing revelation or an out-of-body experience. Maybe I’m … Continue reading This Vantastic Life: My Sedona

This Vantastic Life: A Blind Date with Sedona

March 3, 2018March 4, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 10 Comments

I’ve been an hour away from Sedona for three days, while recuperating from a throat infection. I chose not to come here while I rested, because I wanted my energy to be good when I arrived. I’ve been looking forward to this, like a first date, apparently!  How can I show up to meet Sedona, … Continue reading This Vantastic Life: A Blind Date with Sedona

A Month in a Minivan: Day 25

February 26, 2018February 26, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 11 Comments

  I almost stayed in a hotel tonight. All day long I toyed with the idea, like a hungry cat first toys with a death-row mouse. There is a certain adrenaline that comes with the hunt; a rush that accompanies chasing something down and eventually eating it. The seed was planted early in the day, … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 25

A Month in a Minivan: Day 24

February 25, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 5 Comments

Today’s little journey is brought to you by the magic of “curiousity”. So, with Curiousity steering my ship, I managed to drift exactly 20 miles from last night’s port! Ha!  If youre going to be curious, do not be in a hurry. Do be ready to ask questions, and follow your wandering wonderings. It was … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 24

A Month in a Minivan: Day 23

February 24, 2018February 25, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 5 Comments

Well, I floated out of Alamo Lake on a river of tears, but not before I blubbered all over my two walking-friends, and sniffled with the ladies at the Wayside. I’m sure they all think the Canadian is a little sideways. Well, I am a little sideways. My variety of sideways includes crying when I’m … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 23
