Intrepid Travel and Passports with Purpose
I thrilled to be part of Passports with Purpose. I would never have thought of doing something like this if it weren’t for my friend Debbie.

Finding A Charity To Support
This morning I’m going to be doing something very unusual (for me): I’m being interviewed. On stage. In front of about 300 people. I’m more than a little nervous.

I Travel With A Purpose
Friday should be my photo post day, but instead, in support of BudgetTravelAdventures and his support of PassportsWithPurpose, you’ve got me, writing about me. Enjoy. Picture the scene: a group of (super-cool) high-school kids in a bar in Ireland sometime in the late ’80s. The conversation stills for a moment (only a moment, mind you, Read the Rest…
More Than A Library
“A library is an optional extra.” So said my husband last year during the Passports with Purpose fundraiser. I didn’t have a meaningful come-back. When I was growing up there were some books in my house but not many and certainly not a lot of extra money to feed my bookworm habits. Our Saturday morning Read the Rest…
Seattle to Lusaka: Cognative Dissonance

My Passports with Purpose Prize Picks
“Can we get a divorce?”, Murph’s question was almost plaintive. “I mean I still love you, but if we were divorced, I could enter for one of these Passports with Purpose prizes, right?” I’m honestly not sure whether my husband is joking or not. I mean, these are really great prizes! Today is my wistful, Read the Rest…
