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

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

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 17

February 18, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 2 Comments

My Trip into the Rabbit Hole. The day began ordinarily enough, with a sunrise walk with Pippa. We both notice the new burro poop-piles around camp; Pippa does lots of sniffing but I’m content to just look. Although Pippa and I are becoming terribly alike in many ways (my friend now refers to either of … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 17

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 6

February 7, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 7 Comments

Today, I began writing even before getting out of bed. Taking on this daily writing project has given my creative energy a tremendous boost; but I wake with the ache of “writer’s labour pains” knowing that words insist on being born before noon. There is an persistence about the process; a preoccupation/obsessiveness  that is a … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 6

A Month in a Minivan: Day 5

February 6, 2018February 7, 2018 ~ Kit Vantastic ~ 12 Comments

I didn’t make morning coffee because it was Yoga Day, and coffee stimulates my digestive system in the same way Yoga does; taken together they can be quite an insistent force.  So, I ate a small apple with a bit of peanut butter for  energy and joined a quiet procession of others crossing the desert to … Continue reading A Month in a Minivan: Day 5

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
