    Epic Florida Road Trip by Ashlee CraftClimbing the only Canopy Walk tower the Southeastern USA. Watching the sun set from the Naples Pier. Camping in my SMART CAR (of all things), in the Everglades (of all places!). Going on an airboat ride through the Everglades. Holding a baby gator & visiting an alligator farm. Snorkeling in a breathtaking reef off Key Largo. Training baby sting rays & petting sharks. Parasailing over Key West & seeing the island from more than 150 feet up. Feeding giraffes, tortoises, chickens, emus, rhinoceroses, sting rays, nurse sharks, a variety of fish, & parrots. Visiting an ancient Spanish monastery shipped to America from Spain & reassembled in Miami. Watching baby armadillos forage for food in the leaves. Touring the Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine. Climbing 219 steps to the top of an 165-foot-tall lighthouse & seeing for 25 miles. Climbing 236 steps down into a prehistoric sinkhole set in the center of a miniature rainforest. Seeing Blue Morpho butterflies in a huge tropical aviary.

    All by myself. All on my first-ever vacation away from home.

    I had my share of pitfalls (& mosquito bites). But it turned out being one of the most transformational experiences of my life.

    And you get to hear about every detail of it right here.

  • A Ship Onto a Sea of Hope – NEW RELEASE

    A Ship Onto a Sea of Hope by Ashlee CraftFrom the book –

    opening lines

    I took the leap & the Universe followed.
    I made a decision & the Universe rose up to meet me.

    The bold steps I took? Spending money to get my music out there,
    to start selling the things I knew I should be selling,
    the bold moves in which the Universe saw
    that I was exactly what I needed
    & my actions proved I was ready
    for greater, better things to be bestowed upon me

    the bold move towards the things I’d always wanted to have?
    I asked him for the keys, tentative for fear of revoking
    but he willingly handed me them without argument,
    & even when it seemed as though nothing would work out with it,
    & I was faced with the option of losing half –
    love came through & I found the love was multiplied

    I took the bright step, the bold leap towards the kind of
    person I always wanted to be; I showed up, & that stood for
    something – & when I reached my hand out to touch the largest
    beam of sunlight, it did not burn me like I feared it would,
    but rather, warmed me deeply from the inside out,

    exactly what I needed

  • The Walls Were Gray – NEW RELEASE

    The Walls Were Gray by Ashlee CraftFrom the book –

    RUBY TUESDAY

    when you walked in the air was hot & heavy & smelled strongly of
    lilies like the warm dark green crevice of a secret garden / you were
    so afraid of the world & nowhere seemed a safe place / big & scary
    with the expanse of war looming inside & out, conflict mingled with
    the inner sadness that followed you everywhere / at least she
    would not hug me today / I remembered the
    hot summer mowing the yard by the fence
    looking at the lake / hot & heavy /
    the peculiar, beautiful feeling of the song, deeply hopeful longing
    for the love I may one day find, strange beautiful slightly sad music
    I embraced that summer / run fast / remember what it was like
    growing up at the last house? / you stayed up until 2 am each night
    watching videos & reading about your favorite people & bobbing your head to the music /
    ruby tuesday, maybe she was right when she accused you of hating your life,
    but not doing anything to make it stop being the same
