So it begins…
In January 2007, two days before the end of a six-month stint in Nairobi, I learned that my company would be closing our site within a year’s time. Over the course of the last year, while I still had a regular paycheck and the financial liberty of dreaming, I pondered what would come next. It was never a question of what to do, but a question of how to do everything I wanted to do.
Now doing the things I want to do has become a daily project. While it is not all fun and games (I spend the majority of my time either reading and writing for school or working with clients in my life coaching practice) it is without question, what I want to be doing.
A month ago, I packed up my things in Ann Arbor, MI, and drove to the DC area, where I am currently writing. Here, spring is daily forcing its way into the forecasts. Daffodils, sunshine and cherry blossoms have been such a source of joy.
Looking ahead, this is going to be a great year of journeying. After DC, I will visit friends and family in Ann Arbor and Chicago, then Europe. In June, the plan is to head west to OR and CA, and finally settle on the west coast. I’m looking forward to every moment of it! For me, this will not only be a year of physical traveling, but also an intense time of inner journeying as I continue to chart the course of my destiny and seek an authentic lifestyle, deeply connected with the people and natural world around me.
Where will your personal journey take you this year?
