Babette's Journal

I have just returned from a trip to Denver, Colorado where I drove with my college friend, Judy, to Abiqui, NM...around 45 minutes north of Sante Fe. Judy and I stayed in a vacation rental by owner and spent a week in a Pastel Class taught at the Ghost Ranch, the NM home of Georgia O’Keefe.

It was an extraordinary week for me. I have been plagued with allergies for years and a chance conversation at the ranch isolated and “cured” me!

I have been toying with depression over a multitude (at least it seems to me a multitude) of issues. Pat Frazier, our VRBO rental hostess, told me about EFT-ADV (emotional freedom techniques) and it was empowering.
I had dinner at a little hole-in-the-wall in El Rita with an architect from Seattle, a graphic designer from Austin, a pilot from No. Carolina and a fund-raiser from Denver. It just hit me how much we all had in common and can learn from each other…and how little time we have to share our lives and experiences.
