What are your true colors?


Inside each and every one of us is a palette. 

A palette of different wants, needs, desires, hopes and aspirations. 

It is our drive. It is our desire. It is our fears. Our love. Our anger. 




It is what makes us laugh. It is what makes us cry. 

It gives us confidence and it gives us doubt. 

It brings out the best in us, and at times, the worst. 

Our palette is full of colors. 




Some bright. Some dark. 


When you blend them together you get the person you are. 

Your own unique color. 

No one else in the world has the same blend. 

But we all have a palette. 




Red for desire? 

Green for envy? 

Blue for sad? 

Yellow for happy? 




Pink for passion?

My colors are a blend of 80's neon and earth tone! ;-D




They make me who I am. 

Yes. I am unique......just like everybody else. 

What are your colors? 

Loving it....

Current song obsessions! ;D

Hello Thursday


Hello Thursday as I sit and watch the clouds drift by slower than the seconds on my clock.

Sunshine half casted through navy blue curtains and wood blinds.

Familiarity as I have been in this spot more times than I care to count recently. More seconds and clouds gone by then feelings of good health.

Pets circle me as if this has become routine.

Sounds scream from the radio as my head aches with each note but silence would hurt more.

Tomatoes, basil, mozzarella for lunch but too achy and tired to attempt good health so I settle for a bowl of cocoa pebbles.

Feeling like the tin man in need of oil I force myself to focus on one of my loves in life - work.

Head throbbing but grateful for the subtle decrease in intensity at this moment.

Stomach churning to its own rhythm.

Eyes burning but determination wins for the time being.

Thanks to my love my other love grows which will add to the collection of that which we could both love. Margaritaville.

I would cuddle you so hard and pierced for your pleasure on its way to warren.

Fingers revved to say thank you.

I don't want this limitation on a soul that feels limitless.

Sickness and anxiety has robbed me and love has returned that which was robbed.

My 20's passed yet my 20's alive and well at 36.

I am a fighter. I don't like quitting.

So, with that said, I will oil these tin body parts and have my heart take over with all the courage and smarts I can muster up and walk my wooden yellow brick road with my tan toto and....make myself that tomato, basil, mozzerella salad my body so desperately needs.

Tomorrow I will say hello to Friday as I feel the sunlight hug my body.

I'm a published travel writer! :D

Well it is official. 

I am writing for Connextions Magazine. The national gay & lesbian lifestyle magazine distributed around the world in Barnes-N-Nobles, LGBT bookstores, newsstands etc., 




I was featured in their new fall issue which can be viewed online here (page 52): http://www.calameo.com/read/000390467acfc30ef3013

Print version will be available next month at book stores all over. 

My first official piece will be on LGBT friendly travel destinations for families. 

I am so excited and honored to be working with such an amazing magazine. 

Editor-in-Chief, Shelly Straub, has been so wonderful to collaborate with. 


In addition to writing for Connextions Magazine, I also got hired as a blogger for The Gay Agenda, kinda like the gay version of Huffington Post. I will have my own author's page and everything. 
Of course my posts will be travel related! ;) How exciting!

Also in the works is a BRAND NEW web site for Out & About Travel. A friend of Jen's is putting together a brand-spanking-new site which will be modernized and put me back on the top of search engines. I am incorporating my love of squirrels (lol) into the new logo design. 

www.gaytravelpros.com. 

Gay Travel Information continues to grow with more and more advertisers and reviews on tap! 

Upcoming trips include Boston-MA, Greenwich-CT, Niagara Falls-Canada, Lake Placid-NY, New York-NY, Provincetown-MA and Stowe-VT. 

I am so grateful for my businesses and the support of my loving, amazing, beautiful fiance. 

No matter how busy I am, she will always come first! :) 

Our wedding shower is coming up (October 7th) and - WOW - wedding on December 30th!! 

So much to get done!!!! 

Life is good.
