We stumbled upon this yurt accidentally at a Hot Springs spa in Colorado and were able to stay the night at an AMAZING discount, thanks to Jeremiah, the friendly desk attendant.

My 30 Days of 30 were filled with celebration, both of the extraordinary, and the mundane. It was the perfect kickoff to a new decade: it celebrated and acknowledged the communities to which I belong and the friendships and relationships which sustain and support me. Special thanks to all who helped me celebrate throughout the month; my life is richer because you are in it!
