🙏 requested for my father-in-law, please, if that’s your thing.

January. Atlanta. #FoodForMyDaughters

It really is as simple as that, isn’t it? Decide what needs to be done, and do it.

These dogs are service dogs in training. It was their first time on the train. I crossed paths with them while doing #multimodal travel while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike. Truth? They didn’t love it. (Have you been watching that Netflix show about service dogs? It increases appreciation for what’s involved with this.)

Time to clean out drawers? Many people have a draw filled with corks! (No, you’re never going to make that cool cork board from Pinterest!)Did u know #cork🍷 stoppers are #recyclable (into other products; not more wine stoppers) and cork oak trees are #sustainable — the trees are not cut down to harvest cork. The cork is stripped from it every 9 years and it grows back for a lifespan of about 200 years! Many @wholefoods locations have a cork recycling box in the wine department. @100percentcork

. . . but some things do.

This is Justine. He moved to the USA from his native Uganda 5 years ago. We became #LeagueOfAmericanBicyclists Cycling Instructors in the same class three and a half years ago. We met for ☕️ today because I had some specific questions for him about how I might be able to help with 🚲🚲 as my secondary project when I’m serving in #PeaceCorpsUganda soon (plus many other ??? as I prepare to fill out my onboarding survey that will determine the region of my placement). I learned a ton from him.

First of all, it’s an elevator . . .

Repainting my #upcycled #bikechain #bracelets. It’s been awhile.

My #VisionBoard from January 2013. So much of this has happened/is happening. Am trying to continue to #TrustTheJourney

Okay, well THAT was a lifetime ago (actually two lifetimes ago — daughters 1 and 2). #CleaningOut #MovingOn

#ArtOfBikeRiding (do you see my bike?)

#ArtOfBikeRiding

Meet Johnathan. He is #TodaysNiceStranger. When I offered online to give my beloved #unicycle to someone for free, he jumped on it. We met in a public park for the handoff. Turns out he learned to ride one as a kid in an upstate NY farm town not far from where I went to college, but hasn’t ridden since he was about 8 — the age of his daughter, who recently completed 3 years of cancer treatment and is now cancer-free and bursting with energy. Johnathan wants to learn to ride again and to teach her and her younger brother. (And to think I had been second-guessing giving Zippy away!) This story is just beginning. If interested, see @todaysnicestranger for more nice folks I’ve met (mostly while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike).

“But was she wearing a #bikehelmet?”

Zippy leaves Thursday. Stay tuned to meet the stranger who will carry him forward. 🤸‍♂️ #unicycle

As #BillyJoel so eloquently sang it, “Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes; I’m afraid it’s time for goodbye again.” Godspeed to my younger daughter, and all the best in her next semester at college 🙏

I wear the bracelet my friend @mindybrooks gave me recently almost every day now. Some people just get you and know what you need to hear. Thank you, Mindy. ❤️ #TrustTheJourney

Flooded paths again.

My #PeaceCorps #memoir obsession continues (this is at least the 10th).
