Wandering

...a long way past the past

It was the late 1970s … a time when mobiles, the internet, and more modern modes of touring were non-existent. It was a time when best-selling author Sharon Kreider embarked on her three-year solo adventure from her remote hometown in Canada to Asia.

Through her eyes, her experiences, and her delicious words, you will discover:

  • Majestic Nepal before the rest of the world did.
  • The colors of India and rivers of love that flow through it.
  • Goa and the most beautiful beach in the world.
  • How the Middle East evoked questions: What am I doing? Where am I going? Who am I?

Sylvie is a poignant women’s fiction novel examining a family’s love for one another, acceptance, and letting go. Set in the Colorado mountains, it reveals the secrets and lies surrounding what appears to be a perfect family. Exploring the delicate threads binding family together, we learn how an unexpected tragedy can unravel everything and how they find hope, inspiration, and forgiveness to continue.

An important and sadly relevant story about a loving family forced to accept and forgive the results of a young girl’s repeated social rejection, Sylvie is a must-read for grief groups, parents, and educators; providing useful, understandable insight for parents and siblings of family members suffering consequences of coping with unexpressed trauma.

Is the World Getting Worse?

Our Brains Say Yes—But Are They Right? I asked Google and ChatGPT to list the significant events of 2025. AI instantly listed enough information to write several blogs. In January of last year, the Palisade and Eaton fires ravaged a Los Angeles community, destroying thousands of structures and affecting thousands more. In March, a 7.7 earthquake rocked Myanmar, killing 4500

A Pilgrim’s Lesson in the Mountains of Japan

I didn’t expect a mountain to teach me about kindness when we journeyed into Japan’s mountains and went on a pilgrimage. Each day meant climbing up 2500’(762m) and descending just as far. Not just once, but several times a day. I knew ahead of time that on one of those days, I would need to trek twenty miles (32km) to
