The Journey

I am country hopping till the end of the month and loving it! This time I have my sister joining me on some of my journey. I feel so fortunate to have her here visiting me.

I know most you that I hear from on a regular basis think that I have just taken a year off to just travel. Well not entirely.. See before moving to Europe I had an intention and a determination that I would do as much traveling as I could and soak up the experience of living here. For me that means work hard during the week and explore on the weekends. So far it has been one heck of a ride and loving every minute of it.

This year has been very different than most of my past, and especially over the last 5 years. Something has changed significantly about the way I 'move' in this world these days. Though this year I have spent alot of time in introspection, alone on this journey I call my life.... I have been the absolute furthest from being truly alone. I have loved every minute of my experiences, the good and the bad. I have learned more about myself than I ever thought was possible. This can be a truly raw experience at times, but completely priceless.

What I find most interesting is a new wave of people are slowly coming into my world that are like minded and like spirited that I had no idea existed. It is what I have been asking for a long time. I guess I haven't been really 'looking up' for the last several years to maybe take notice of those that were trying to reach me or connect with me. Now for the first time in a very long time, I am looking up and out into the world and really enjoying the reflections I am receiving in return.

Our wonderful lives: we all have our stories just how many of us really dare to share them?

In gratitude and love
