  The Yellowstone Trip Back in August of 2010, Patti and I took a trip with Amy and Aaron to a number of national parks and other memorable places on the way to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. These included the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Black Hills, Wind Cave, and Medicine Wheel National Historic Site.  The Badlands are well-named. They are other-worldly bad.

My Destiny

My destiny is now, living each moment with an open heart.

Made a fool of. Afraid to let their guard down. To be vulnerable. Afraid their intentions will be misread. Afraid to make the first move. To connect. Wait a minute. Why am I putting it on “them”? I am one of them. What am I waiting for? If you happen to have a guy, Friendly, vulnerable, starting a conversation with you, That’s me, or somebody like me. Don’t let your guard down Right away, Because you never know… But gradually, carefully, mindfully, give us a chance. We’re opening up. Getting good at being a holy fool. Just trying to connect. It’s really, you know, what we’re here for.
