Charity

I like to give back to people and organizations who inspire me. In Denver, I spent a year volunteering with an amazing organization, Goodwill Industries, in their 9th and 12th grade retention program. Now that we have relocated to Austin I hope to connect with the same program there and get back at it!

I am excited about the prospect of volunteering with the Austin office of Learning Ally (formerly Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic)! I look forward to learning their process for converting reading materials of all kinds (and on all sorts of topics!) to audio format.

My husband Tim and I are presently on a full-time RVing adventure. We have been on the road since June 28, 2010, and have driven to Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, Maine, the Gulf Coast of Alabama, and Minnesota in that time, towing our Trailmanor RV some 14,000 miles in just over a year’s time! We spend the winters in Austin, Texas, while Tim coaches a private high school girls’ basketball team. We blog occasionally about our journey and the lessons we are learning by having two mobile businesses and living/working in 215 square feet at RicesRadicalSabbatical.com. You’re invited to follow along! Or, like our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter!

I often embark on personal photography or writing projects. Right now I am resuming a project that has languished over the summer of 2011: a blog that showcases stories and black-and-white photographs of other full-time RVers (and their animal companions). I’m looking forward to continuing this project in October! It’s called I Went RVing, and if you get a chance to check it out, leave a comment and let me know you were there!
