It’s been three years since I left my home of the previous 25 years and drove this Uhaul trailer into the great unknown.
During that time, as I laid my head down on my pillow, I heard the roaring wind and crashing waves on the Lake Superior coast and the sand-filled gales and coyotes howl in the foothills of the Chihuahuan Desert.
The winds of change have been heaving me along the highway for a long time. Now, it’s time to settle back down.
A few weeks ago I was packing up another Uhaul to make a move which I know would bring me to a lull in the vigorous wind gusts. My friend, Kevin Burrows, wrote a short piece on social media which summed up exactly how I am feeling, as the winds die down and I settle into my new home.
I am honored that he agreed to allow me to share it with you.
Where have you been blown from? Where did you get blown to? Did you find a soft place to land?

I landed in a soft place when I was born into my mother’s Sanchez family: A wonderful group of human beings; loving, humorous, alive!
Since I carry them all in my heart I am always in a soft place….
