Its now almost August and the landscape bears a great resemblance to ALL those that have gone before….
Seven months ago today I arrived home from the Antarctic after having fulfilled a lifelong dream of
1) walking on the white continent
2) calling it my last continent to visit
Oh what a difference a few months make. Jan was a haze of Antarctic hangover, February was a break in and robbery to my home….and early March my former employer ordered us off the road. A mere two weeks later professional services are no longer required….the Unemployment nightmare begins…. and well, you know the rest of the story because you have been living it with me. With everyone. No one is exempt.
At one point I was convinced I was going to be an alcoholic – or agoraphobic – but the later meant likely not traveling again so it was time to take action.
I’m not scared now. I was. And times like these show what you are made of. First thing I did was cancel cable – anything worth knowing about will pop to the surface and my amazing circle of influence will keep me up to date on things I need know. I acknowledge I can’t change the world however I CAN ensure my little part of it is as positive, safe and GOOD as it can possibly be. Why? Because I am choosing to walk a path of faith
I’m taking a Digital Marketing course and this site is a direct result of my having to meet a course requirement. It also serves as a way to stay connected, challenged & centered. I am focusing on me.
We WILL travel again; for those of us in ‘the biz’ we don’t know any other way….and nothing will take this from us. It WILL be different. To qualify that remains a mystery….but as my husband used to say ‘together we are never defeated’.
For me, I may be in a holding pattern….but I AM gaining altitude.
