Welcome

I'm Alison: writer, introspector, chronic over-thinker. If you long to learn the art of stillness and live an authentic, rested life...well, so do I! Maybe we can figure it out together. Welcome to my grace-laden mess. I'm glad you're here.

Let’s Be Friends

Let’s do this.

On this journey toward a rested life, we'll go farther together than we can alone. Walk with me?

I HAVE MY TEETH BACK!!! In February 2018 I had four teeth extracted in preparation for some major orthodontic work. It’s been a long road to repairing everything that was causing pain and damage in my mouth, but this morning I crossed the finish line with dental implants. My teeth are healthy, I can chew again, and there are no more gaps in my smile!🎉

I don’t have young children anymore, but I still can’t take a shower or use the bathroom without someone wanting their mommy. 🐾 #englishmastiff #puppylove #mastiffsofinstagram #gentlegiant

Sunset in the Badlands, and on #mclennantravels202

Sunset in the Badlands, and on #mclennantravels2021. 🌅 Tomorrow we hitch up and type “home” into the GPS. This has been a remarkable trip, full of sights and memories I’ll cherish the rest of my life. It’s had highs (feeling the mist of a glacial waterfall) and lows (trapped in our RV with 2 dogs suffering from a GI virus). I’m physically tired, emotionally refreshed, and so thankful for this opportunity and the people who made it possible - not the least of which is our rockstar @mclennancontracting team! Looking forward to getting home to #lancasterpa, sleeping in my own bed, and returning to “real” life with a revitalized spirit.🌿

Well hey there, Badlands. Not a bad first impressi

We spent today touring the Black Hills of South Dakota. I can see why someone would be inspired to carve a work of art like #mtrushmore into these rocks, which are works of art in their own right. I drove the F350 through the tunnels and around the switchbacks of Needles Highway in Custer State Park today, which was both exhilarating and terrifying! So thankful for the memories we’ve made on this trip. Two more days of adventuring (Badlands, here we come!), and then we’ll turn the truck east for the long drive back to PA. #mclennantravels2021 #summertoremember #custerstatepark #needleshighway #blackhills #southdakota

“We, here in America, hold in our hands the hope

“We, here in America, hold in our hands the hopes of the world, the fate of the coming years; and shame and disgrace will be ours if in our eyes the light of high resolve is dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden hopes of men.” Theodore Roosevelt 🇺🇸#mtrushmore #america #landofthefree #mclennantravels2021

We’re on the road today, somewhere around the Wyoming/South Dakota border. Might not be Montana, but it’s still Big Sky country. The West just keeps taking my breath away. #mclennantravels2021 #roadtrip #roadtrippin #rvlife #f350
