Wanderlust Looks Out on a Cold Morning

February 25, 2022 by Kelley Lindberg Leave a Comment

As I write this, it’s a balmy 2 degrees Fahrenheit here on the eastern plains of Colorado. (That’s –17 Celsius, for those of us who can’t do the conversion in our heads.) As someone whose fingers turn to ice when it dips below 72, I’m not in what I’d call my “happy place” right now. […]

Metaphysical Marketing, or “Wait, What?”

July 24, 2013 by Kelley Lindberg Leave a Comment
