Finding Comfort in the Covid-19 Crisis

Finding Comfort in the Covid-19 Crisis

My job as a safari guide in Africa allows me to take women (and men) on journeys to the great wilderness of the African Bush. Where it all began.

I Made It!

I was going to try to make it. I was really going to try. But this time I couldn’t make it by myself. At least I knew that much. I was going to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro – again. I was going to climb it, all 19,340 feet of it, for the second time. My first […]

How A Borrowed Jacket Saved My Life

How A Borrowed Jacket Saved My Life

In 1998, I had a life-changing phone call. I was in one of my sad-me moments, whining to a friend about how hard my life was and how everything that was wrong because I was wrong, and well you get the picture. But in my self-involved haze, I hadn’t taken the time to remember who […]
