<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ah, my sweet little blog, I am sorry to have neglected you. These past months have been filled with many incredible, beautiful and surprising moments and I have been busy basking in the warmth of them all. My feet are now settling back down onto terraferma and I am ready to again fill your pages with stories and photos. Stay tuned as I catch up on stories from last year and move forward into the here and now!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>"What is important is not what hurts and pleases, but to see what is true. And then that truth will operate, not you."</i> Krishnamurti</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This powerful quote has been on my mind for the past months as I have come face to face with a disruption of my life stories I have long held onto. I believe in truth, and in not just telling the truth to others, but in being completely open and honest with myself. It seems to me that in truth lies freedom - freedom from shame, freedom from guilt, freedom from regrets - freedom from the negative messages that we cling to that serve no purpose but to hold us back from our own joy. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's to a New Year of letting go of the baggage that weighs us down, and to embracing the beauty that is our authenticity!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is autumn in Alaska, and as a light dusting of snow creeps slowly down the hillside, the air is cooling and mornings bring a beautiful display of frost coating the lawn. A few bright flowers remain, clinging to life, and I am touched by their fragility and their strength.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As the natural world around me shifts and transitions between seasons, so does my internal world bend and twist, lean and circle, weave and contort. Many personal changes are afoot, with doors opening and closing and a breathtaking expanse of new vistas visible on the horizon. As this beautiful, new path is being laid out before me, I am eager to walk forward with an open heart of gratitude and wonder, but instead find myself struggling to let go of threads that bind me to old patterns and thoughts. In the midst of an opportunity for incredible possibility and promise, I am overwhelmed with fear and struggling to find the courage to embrace it all. Still, I am fully awake and committed to moving forward, even if it just one teeny, tiny baby step one day at a time...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">From walking around town and strolling the beaches for glass, to the scenic drives, spotting reindeer and hearing and seeing the endless flocks of Sandill Cranes, to vibrant autumn colors and the mixture of fantastic sunny days and evenings of intense thunderstorms and hours of pouring rain, to great food, viewing all manner of gold mining and house and building architecture, to watching barges and large ships come and go, to meeting old friends and making new ones, to helping our energy program clients and assisting with Taz's photography class, to the fish camps dotting the shoreline and to our days in the villages of Unalakleet and Shaktoolik with their subsistence lifestyle of culture of sharing - our time in Nome and the Bering Strait communities will remain etched on my heart for a long, long time to come, as the people and the landscape once again captured my heart. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">On September 27, I will turn 45 and I'm counting down the days. I'm also thinking a lot about where I've come from, where I am today and where I'm heading. I've probably put on over 500 miles during this inner pilgrimage so far and I suspect I'll add a few more before the big day hits!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Throughout the day today, we watched four large flocks of Sandhill Cranes preparing to head south for the winter. What an incredible joy it is to witness this migratory dance, as they call and fly large circular patterns in the sky, gather themselves into a loose V formation and begin their long journey to warmer climates. Even when it got so dark that we couldn't see them, we could still hear them. The beautiful, haunting call of thousands of cranes will remain with me for days to come...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After spending a day and a half in Unalakleet, Taz and I stop in the community of Shaktoolik for a six hour layover before heading back to Nome. Just like upon our arrival into Unalakleet, we are greeted by barking dogs, the smell of salmon curing, residents riding four-wheelers and boats, snowmachines and crab pots spilling out from dirt pathed driveways that wind their way to simple one and two room homes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shaktoolik is one of Alaska's native villages that suffers from extreme flooding during the fall and spring storms. Nestled along the shores of Norton Sound, surrounded by the sound and a river,residents are currently building a seawall of sand and rocks that, once completed, will run the entire one mile length of this town of 300 Inupiat people living a subsistence lifestyle.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Piles of driftwood litter the long beach, with its murky waters and rolling waves. Locals were very friendly towards us, asking where we were from and what had brought us to their village. When school let out, children poured from the K-12 school, one of the newest buildings in the community, and I spent an hour playing basketball with Jimmy, Rodan and their sister Elsa.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">While Unalakleet is a major hub for flights to numerous surrounding villages, flights in and out of Shaktoolik are often rescheduled and just as-needed. Waiting for our delayed flight, we spent two hours at the airport, which consists of a gravel runway and locked metal shed. We sat on a wooden palette and watched the distant thunder storms roll over Norton Sound.</span></span><br />
