🎥✨ NEW VIDEO: Camping & Connecting in Death Valley – The Long Way Begins 🌵

We took the long way on purpose.
Because sometimes the fastest route skips over the most beautiful parts.

In this first episode of The Long Way, we journey through Death Valley National Park—the ancestral homeland of the Timbisha Shoshone. What some call barren, we found to be full of meaning, laughter, and quiet magic.

Charlotte helped set up camp and looked after her brother with a strength I’ll never forget. Luke invented the story of “Dumpster Boy,” a desert wanderer who turns scraps into kindness. And together, we rediscovered what it means to simply be.

🏜 Badwater Basin
🌬️ Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes
🌄 Zabriskie Point
🌌 Starry nights and stories shared under the desert sky

🌿 This isn’t just a travel video—it’s a story about presence, motherhood, memory, and healing in wild places.

🌄 We didn’t rush. We wandered. We rested. We remembered.

Our first stop on The Long Way was Death Valley National Park—often called barren, but to us, it was a beginning.

For five days, we traded screens for stargazing, noise for desert stillness, and routines for connection. Charlotte became my steadfast right hand. Luke created the story of “Dumpster Boy”—an orphan making his way through the desert, collecting forgotten treasures and looking for a place to belong.

We climbed dunes, traced rock layers, sledded through golden sand, and stood in awe at Zabriskie Point and Ubehebe Crater. In the silence, something deep within us began to heal.

✨ This isn’t just a road trip. It’s a return to presence.
To listening.
To family.
To the land.

It’s been some time since my last blog post, and I appreciate your patience. I’ve been traveling around the beautiful west side of the US, immersing myself in the wonders of our National Parks and connecting with fellow booksellers at a conference in Denver. As I prepare to return to California, I’m feeling a strong pull to move back to the mountains, where I can write, travel, and nurture the nonprofit, 🫶🏽✨📚. For now, I’m focusing on completing Utah’s big 5 with my two kids, creating cherished memories along the way. I truly hope everyone is staying warm during this season, and I’m eagerly looking forward to reconnecting online in the spring. 🌿

🌍✨ Exciting News! ✨🌱

A few years ago, my daughter Charlotte had the chance of a lifetime—spending a day learning about sustainable building techniques in the stunning Southern Sierra Nevada! She got hands-on experience with cob building alongside the incredible Sarah Brown, an off-grid enthusiast and expert in natural building.

From mixing clay, sand, and straw to sculpting small walls, Charlotte dived deep into the world of eco-friendly construction. The tactile joy of working with natural materials inspired her like never before! 🛠️💚

One of the highlights? Charlotte interviewed Sarah for a video project, capturing both their passion for sustainability and the beauty of building with nature. 🌿🎥

I’m beyond proud to see Charlotte's excitement for eco-friendly living grow! Check out their amazing day together in the video below and join us in exploring the impactful world of sustainable building!
