Now That I’ve Gotten Your Attention

“Sometimes in your life you will go on a journey.

It will be the longest journey you have ever taken.

It is the journey to find yourself.”

Katherine Sharp Landdeck (Aircraft Pilot and Associate Professor of History at Texas Woman’s University; UNKNOWN ~ )

“…details of our days do make a difference in our lives, that no experience is ever just for drill, and that everything can be a springboard for inspiration if we are willing to be open to the goodness of life.”

“One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.”

André Gide (French Author and Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature; November 22nd 1869 ~ February 19th, 1951)

My Bucket List

“Before my story began…” (Heather Houston 2-24-22)

“My being-ness is all about the details. I love how a home feels when the details are sorted. It makes it feel less noisy, distracting and peaceful.” (Heather Houston 2-24-26)

“Chocolate, vanilla, choose. I choose to be in the present and embrace my journey today. I am intentionally planning my journey to visit my ancestors lands and feel myself in Indian country. I have made arrangements to rent a car and embark on an journey to locate my grandparents and great grandparents homes or the locations they used to be. I also want to attempt to find the cemeteries where they may be buried to soak up the hollowed ground. For me, this is a pilgrimage of my self. Turning in and returning to my sacredness within. I am excited to feel the flow and vibration of this journey and how it unfolds and adds to my life journey.” (Heather Houston 2-24-26)
