Day 24: Pippa’s Ride

March 26, 2019March 26, 2019 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 6 Comments

Meet Pippa; the sassy Italian Greyhound who is my constant companion and best friend. She is now two and a half years old, and has been with me since she was eight weeks. She has now spent almost half of her life on the road with me. Baby PippaCrate Training: harder for ME than for … Continue reading Day 24: Pippa’s Ride

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 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 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 18

February 19, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 5 Comments

It’s “Biscuit & Gravy Sunday”  here at the Wayside, and because it’s biscuit Sunday, everything else will have to wait. It was the only thing on today’s agenda for me, and I came into it fully expecting it to fill the entire morning. I’ve been looking forward to this, and being mostly an herbivore,  I don’t … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 18

A Month in a Minivan: Day 16

February 17, 2018February 20, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 6 Comments

”Courage is Fear that has said it’s Prayers”  A lovely woman I recently met in a dog park wrote those words to me after reading one of this month’s posts. You know how some words fly by us, and some “stick”? I used to say that to my doctor - that I had “sticky thoughts” … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 16

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

A Month in a Minivan: Day 4

February 5, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ Leave a comment

I woke up at sunrise and made a pot of coffee in slow motion. Sat in the sun and sipped, lazy as a hot desert day. The temperatures here in Quartzite are in the 80’s right now, so it becomes quite hot quickly. I start with two layers on waking and am naked by nine. I … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 4
