A haunted hotel in Baker City, Oregon

As we all know, travel opportunities were extremely limited during the Covid pandemic, especially before vaccines were widely available. About a year into the pandemic, some friends invited me to go to Baker City, Oregon for a few days as a change of scenery. I was on the fence about it, until I did some […]

On Liminal Beings and Running

I was listening to a podcast today with an interview focused on liminal beings. This includes shadow people, “old hags,” sightings of real-seeming people who then are suddenly gone, etc. It got me to thinking about two experiences I have had with the liminal world while on early morning runs.

Two Nights in a Scottish Castle

In 2017, my husband and I spent three weeks in Scotland and Ireland. It was a fantastic trip, full of beautiful landscapes, good food, kind people, and wonderful old buildings and castles.
