I started this website in the late Spring of 2015 before I left on my bittersweet dream trip across our country.    /the-original-ride.html    One of my goals on that trip was to share my journey.  I found writing to be healing, grounding and fun.  I have always journaled but on that trip, I learned how much I loved to share my thoughts publicly.  And so, I have decided to continue doing just that.  I will continue the blog Tomsmomsride as Stormy and I head out on another season of adventures.  I can't wait!

I have realized that my blog title is also a metaphor for my healing journey.  The ride, if you will, to find the balance.
