Fly away to a party in the clouds.  A hot air balloon ride fills the dawn pierced sky with its glowing flame. And another, another, still more others. They total 700 colorful and magical, some have faces, some words.  In a collective wave they set off, baskets creaking and smiles all around.  Ending the day with a celebration and food and pretty lights with fireworks and applause. A spectacular event, Albuquerque’s 42nd annual International Balloon Fiesta, captured by Roadtrippers Joel Schat.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
