It’s all personal
I'm Kim and I have a few blogs (and perhaps an issue with over sharing, and too much time on my hands). My other two projects are www.fiftyfiftyvision.com and www.thisisplanbe.com. I also tweet at https://twitter.com/TheKimTackett and instagram at http://instagram.com/kimtackett. But here, it's all personal. I show up once a week, sometimes less, never more. I don't have a niche or a purpose or a plan. Just a few stories and pictures. Welcome to my personal space.I write about stuff

The Tour of California, Day One
The Prologue was at the Capitol, and we were there, about 30 yards from the start. All of our favorite riders–Thor, Tom, George, Ivan, Tyler, Jens, and Lance. Our cameras weren’t as fast as the riders, but it was a … Continue reading

A year ago I was in India, with several goals in mind. Yes, I was there to work with very poor women and their daughters. And to assist the Reach India office with their marketing. But I also had another … Continue reading

A year ago I had a moment
A year ago I was in India, and was reconciling my understanding of poverty, over and over again. Every day. It was a hard trip, and it opened my eyes and broke my heart. And I think about it. Every … Continue reading
a few sticks to go with those stones
I have always loved rocks. But somehow this winter, I have fallen for the sticks. The the bare trees, and the way the sun falls on them. A few leftover leaves, but pretty much, they are just sticks, waiting for … Continue reading
what sunday morning looks like in our house
Steve left at 6 am for a little zen golf. That means he does the back nine at Wildhorse, alone. He does this several times a week. I woke up at 7:30, and am surrounded by three newspapers, The Davis … Continue reading

Feb. 7, 1977, first date with Steve. We were juniors at Chico State and had known each other since the previous semester. We weren’t a “thing” yet, but we might be. I was living in an apartment, Tortilla Flats, with … Continue reading
