The Southwest Trip

The day started out like any normal day of running errands. Then suddenly I realized that my world was about to change. I needed change. Something within me shifted. I had been going through a lot lately when I was asked to go to the Southwest. I had nothing to lose at this point. That’s the beauty of living the car life. You are free to leave whenever the moment calls. I drove for 13 hours well into the night arriving at 3AM completely exhausted.

The beginning of the trip was typical, well with the exception of beautiful sights to be had. I naturally had to capture some of those moments while the light allowed for it.

I went from snow capped beautiful mountains, that I crave every moment to a more dry and desolate land. I have no idea how long I’ll be here, but hopefully not long. Enough to get some clarity and redirection on life. It’s been a wild ride and something is bound to give.

Well, I’ve had this draft sitting here for about a month. I think I know why I waited. I’m pretty sure I knew why I ended up here. For many years I held onto a phone number, I didn’t even know if this person still had the number. I sent a text. To my surprise, but also not, she responded. We chatted on the phone and I came over to visit and caught up, many things have since changed, truly a blessing.

I am pretty sure I figured out why I was drawn here, even if only for a temporary stay. So much has came to light and I have found so much peace in this journey. I’ll eventually elaborate, but for now it’s been a roller coaster of ups and downs, but therapeutic moments that are needed towards healing.
