CHEERS TO COFFEE AND GOOD FRIENDS
Since I’ve been back at home in Ohio it’s become a weekly affair for my friend and I to meet at our gorgeous neighborhood park for a walk along its trails. We take turns picking up coffee for added warmth (extra hot please!) and my dog, Faith, always tags along.

It strikes me as ironic that not long ago I had to locate Joshua Tree, California on a map because I had never heard of it before and now I am writing my very own guide to it.

I’ve visited and lived in the high desert town on and off for the past three years now and I’m always rattling off how much I love, love, love the place to anyone who will listen. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the place I ultimately lay down roots someday. And if you know me, well, I wouldn’t say that about just any old place.

I realized that it has been exactly a year since I arrived in Joshua Tree last July to do my first house sit and begin my journey inward after resigning from my life at sea as a cruise ship singer. To celebrate coming full-circle, I’ve decided to do a photo post of each stop along the way.
