You get to thinking

You get to thinking about things when you unexpectedly ride your bike through a cemetery.

So I rode around today with one earphone in while listening to a virtual bike tour of DC at #BikeSummit21 while passing all the blooming cherry blossoms 🌸 in #MetroAtlanta!!!!

My fellow writer friends will understand the incredible peaceful #joy and #gratitude of the magical moment when u write these words on your new #book’s first draft, as I did this morning. (sound up) #slowduckcrossing 📚 ❤️ To have almost died in July when I was hit by a driver in the place I call home while #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike, to now being able to do this is just overwhelming to me. And I think what I wrote is better after having experienced that. Good ol’ #TrustTheJourney. 🙏

Aren’t they all? #bikemagic

Wrote and rode early today so I could join 1,000 of my closest friends at #BikeSummit21! We just took a stunning virtual #biketour of the Dutch city of #Delft! #slowduckcrossing #travelingatthespeedofbike

Homemade pizza with jalapeños from last year’s #garden (frozen whole— they last GREAT); kale just picked. Wine from the local Italian market. Plate from the original #DeanAndDeLuca in #NYC from when I worked weekends there in the late 1980s. Watching our final selection (out of 7 total) in the #AJFF #film festival. We’ve “been” to #Italy, #Copenhagen, #Chicago, #Israel, #Brooklyn, and several other places this week due to the magic of movies :) (god, I miss traveling!) Tonight is 4 shorts.

Bike, paints, swaying golden grasses? Count me in.

2-week update: am now 21,000 words into my new book 💃🏻 🤸‍♀️ #slowduckcrossing

Ok, truth, this one is my favorite bike. She’s the one who was up in my attic for 20 years (hence, Attica). She just loves to run and is wild and I love that about her.

For anyone who needs this reminder: U got this. Stand strong. Hang in there.

#slowduckcrossing

Am scheduled to leave in August for Uganda for 2 years (rescheduled from June 2020 due to #Covid). Already had full medical clearance. Not sure when this now-required vaccination is gonna happen. #BeyondMyControl #TrustTheJourney #peacecorps

I left u a duck

Lucky day 13 of my #slowduckcrossing new-book immersion and I pass this sign. #TrustTheJourney

Am missing #TravelingAtTheSpeedOfBike in the City of Atlanta. Will be back once I finish this book draft next week. #slowduckcrossing

Checked on my magic #thistlemeadow this week

Came upon the unveiling ceremony of a memorial plaque for a man who had been lynched. #streetphotography

Had such a lovely ride on a little neighborhood street in #RoswellGA with a posted speed limit of 10 mph! I guess that’s another reason they r a #BicycleFriendlyCommunity.

These just arrived. I wasn’t kidding when I said I was knee-deep in #slowduckcrossing.

So this was a good find.

Keeping joy centered . . .
