Welcome to Seasons of the Soul.
Everyone has a story. I’m telling mine and those of wise elders and trailblazers that inspire me.
Many of my stories will be about mother-daughter relationships, having grown up with a mentally ill mother. I’ve also lived a 31-year life of heterosexual privilege. I’ll share my experiences coming out of the closet for being gay at 56 (easy) and coming out of the “having a mentally ill mother” closet in my 60s (hard).
I grew up in the wind-swept state of North Dakota. After decades spent in California and Michigan, my retired, snowbird life is in Tucson, Arizona with my wife and our eleven-year-old multipoo Izzy. We spend summers traveling and are grateful for that privilege every single day.
And oh, the places we go. Whether our 2023 trip to the Canadian Rockies or our favorite campground, I’ll share our travel tales.
Come along for the ride!
