Dalton Farms, NJ: Look to the Sun

October 2, 2021 Katie Williams

Last weekend I was originally going to drive up to Vermont (6+ hour drive from Philadelphia) to cross off the final state of my 30 before 30 goal.

Bethany Beach, DE: R+R+R

August 15, 2021August 15, 2021 Katie Williams

Road, read, rest. Those three Rs are exactly what I did this weekend and exactly what I needed. I was on the road (about 2.5 hours each way to the beach)...I read when I got to the beach...and I rested, really rested after a busy week at the hospital. Speaking of the hospital, I do… Continue reading Bethany Beach, DE: R+R+R

If there is one place on the East Coast that can remind me of the West Coast it is at the beach. 'Twas a very successful day trip!

Bismarck, ND: Not Goodbye

June 26, 2021 Katie Williams

Three months ago on March 24, 2021 I made the courageous choice to leave everything and everyone I loved behind in San Jose and just GO. I left my lease and my roommate in our apartment we shared. I left my relationship. I left my stable job at the hospital. I left friends. I left family. I left my dog. I left a severe drug addiction. I left the chaos. Bismarck, ND was my first travel assignment.

Philly, Here I come!

May 30, 2021May 30, 2021 Katie Williams

Earlier in the week I felt a stirring in my soul and the quiet but peaceful voice of God telling me keep going. It was very clearly saying that I should not stay in North Dakota for my next assignment. As much as I do like adventure, I also really like comfort. When I meet people, friends, coworkers, and find places I love... I have an incredibly hard time letting go.
