Jerome, Arizona

...was originally intended as my bucket list, which is why it had so many travel/expensive/long-term items. I’ve since removed or “given up” on the majority of them as my attitude towards 43 things has changed. Having completed only 21 things in 6 years made it clear that I needed to recreate the list to be 43 things that I’m actively doing. Hence, the remix.

I’m going to keep my visit Jerome, Arizona on here however, as a reminder and nod to all those things that I will eventually do when circumstance allows it. Of all those exciting things, reconnecting with my family’s past is the one I choose to focus on.

Jerome, Arizona is not only a ghost town but also the birthplace and hometown of my Nana. I’ve seen pictures of her as a young girl sitting with her brother with the mining hills in the background. I long to see where my family has come from, and feel that much closer to her.
