Cross Posted on my Substack: Prairie River Witch Newsletter After my near miss last year, I’m living with a no regrets policy. I’m also going to “start over” and branch out a little more. I still intend to follow through with the basis of this page– wannabe backpacking, but right now where I’m going (chasingContinueContinue reading “A Spell for Starting Over (Sandhills Edition)”

From the Ozarks to the Sandhills
A Wandering Witch with Coffee & Camera Notes from the Edge of the Map Hey y’all, ~Let me reintroduce myself~ I’m BJ Roshone – a barefoot wanderer raised in the wild green hills of the Ozarks, now chasing light and stories in the Nebraska Sandhills. Most days, you’ll find me with a camera in oneContinueContinue reading “From the Ozarks to the Sandhills”
2024 Goals
Harvest Moon, September 18, 2024 I started writing this in January– it’s now September. Oddly enough, this year I spent a lot of time in my head. I took pictures and video– wrote a little bit of poetry, that was about it in the writing realm– and working on the Pennington Book Project. I thinkContinueContinue reading “2024 Goals”
Flashback Friday: Blue Spring
~Day Hikes and Baby Wipes~ I’m sorry for the hiatus but the new baby distracted me from a lot of things *cough— writing—cough* over the last two months. Now that I’m recovered from the c-section, lack of sleep, and visiting family I’m starting to get my writing bug back. I’ve been posting to my poetryContinueContinue reading “Flashback Friday: Blue Spring”

It’s a new year, a new day, and I have a new baby on the way!
Wannabe on the Trail: Wannabes and Posers
Mom I wannabe watching cartoons… on your new phone! Hi all– I’m still trying to get back into the swing of things. But I’m still wheezing a little and it’s cold outside–I’m so weak. However, I watched the new Netflix special Inventing Anna. I really don’t understand my fasciation with millennial fraudsters but I’m goingContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Wannabes and Posers”
Wannabe on the Trail: SAD, Sick, and on the Mend
I don’t really have a lot to say but I figured I better do an update! Coivd sucked– I’m glad I had the vaccine. I did better than my husband (unvaxxed) but it still sucked. I still feel exhausted from it. However, I’m doing better and starting to get active again. It’s slow going though–ContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: SAD, Sick, and on the Mend”
New Year, (semi) New Me
I haven’t posted in the last few days– holidays, weddings, and driving through a winter storm had my attention focused elsewhere. Me trying to be glamourous at Deer Park Manor in Indiana for a wedding. Driving in a winter storm… go slow and don’t rush! I’ve also been working on finishing up a couple ofContinueContinue reading “New Year, (semi) New Me”
Take a Hike
It’s National Take a Hike Day! Rocky Falls! I took this picture I think in 2009. And I had to work… and I’m taking a shift on the ambulance so I have to be ready to respond. So no hikes for me… Dammit. But if you have a chance, go take a hike! Well, becauseContinueContinue reading “Take a Hike”
Wannabe on the Trail: Influencing
I’ve been thinking a lot lately— inspired by a documentary. Imagine that. Anyways, I watched Fake Famous. It’s an interesting look at how we view influencing and a social experiment into how to become a mega influencer. Me, trying to be “on brand” I related the most with Chris but I don’t think I deserveContinueContinue reading “Wannabe on the Trail: Influencing”
Write—A—Ween
Hey folks! Fall is starting to wither a little bit here—we’re already getting calls for snow but right now it’s misty and dreary. Perfect Halloween weather—or perfect Halloween writing weather. So, I’m starting my own writing prompt for the two weeks leading up to Halloween. #writeaween
