Week 31: Stairs to Nowhere

When the last ferry of the day left Angel Island last Saturday evening, what remained for the following 17 hours until the next ferry arrived in the morning were: a smattering of park rangers, determined raccoons, hoppy deer, wind-blown campers, and a photographer who had been daunted–but not defeated–by the uphill hike to campsites 1 & 2 with friends, heavy backpacks and photo gear. The 52 Project must prevail! 
Curious about camping on Angel Island? Here’s a recent write-up about what it’s like.
Week 30: Forward not backward

I love to be on the water. Sailing, kayaking, canoeing, river rafting, and most recently standup paddleboarding are some of my favorite ways to spend the day. But as I’ve grown older, I’ve become much more susceptible to seasickness. Sitting on a sailboat that’s bobbing up and down in the ocean is no fun. My insides start to complain in a big way. Eating ginger candy and looking for the horizon help, but the only thing that really fixes it is forward motion with the wind blowing across my face.
And every now and then when I’m not on a boat and my insides are complaining in a big way, I ask, “Am I moving forward?” Am I where I want to be, doing what I want to be doing, sharing time with people who lift me up? And if not, why not? Moving forward can often be the hardest, scariest thing in the world to do because it requires both letting go and also a leap of faith. But that is when I know it’s precisely what I need to do.
Week 29: When in doubt, jump it out.
July 23rd, 2010 by annamarie
Sadness crept its way into my life this past week. Over the years, I’ve learned how helpful it is to acknowledge it, accept it, and allow myself to feel it. And now I can add jumping over and over and over—like I did last night on an empty, breezy fishing pier—to that list.
Week 28: The tree never stands too far from the apple.

Last weekend, my parents drove up from Southern California with my aunt and uncle who are visiting the U.S. for the first time. We had a jam-packed day of touring some of my favorite sights and savoring some of my favorite tastes that San Francisco, Marin, and the East Bay have to offer. And, now you know from whom I inherited my hops. Go Dad!
