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: 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 27

February 28, 2018February 28, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 10 Comments

Morning: I just enjoyed my third bath since yesterday and am pleased to report the water no longer smells like desert dust & donkey dung!  I think I might have let myself go in the last few days, just a little. Pippa’s up next; I’m afraid she doesn’t smell much better. I notice my throat is … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 27

A Month in a Minivan: Day 26

February 27, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 13 Comments

I woke up this morning feeling like I had an actual  hangover. Is that a thing? A phantom hangover from merely fighting the idea of a drink? Given my mental fogginess, I gave myself permission to process less today. Today, I didn’t need to understand anything in particular. I declared it  “sensory day” - just … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 26

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 13

February 14, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 3 Comments

Lucky 13 🙂 Balance Restored. I woke up rested and peaceful, back at a long term visitor area but not in the circle. Just the nearest one to Quartzsite, so I could easily get on the road this morning. This morning Pip and I woke, walked, gassed up the van, poured a “double-the-caffeine” cup of … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 13

A Month in a Minivan: Day 12

February 13, 2018February 13, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 16 Comments

If a person experiences too many changes they didn’t choose in life,  goodbyes can incite an internal riot. The day started peaceful enough. No wait, no it didn’t. The sky looked different. The lighting was weird. Clouds threatened my glorious sunshine. There was a chill in the air. I was anticipating yoga but learned there … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 12

A Month in a Minivan: Day 11

February 12, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 5 Comments

Crazy windy night last night - the howling woke me up numberous times, but I was happy to find the canopy still  fastened to the ground this morning (thanks to the 8 inch spikes I use for tent pegs!) and everything stored  beneath it, still there. The wind blew in a bit of a cold … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 11
