The Year of Living Dangerously

I Did It and I Plan to Continue...

One year ago today I started this blog,

it was a ~ umm ~ milestone birthday for

me.  In many ways it was also the start

of a new life for me.  Within the year both

of my kids would be living at school and it

was time to reinvent me.

It was a grand year for travel, I visited

12 countries on 4 different continents.

I used many forms of transportation

including, camels, elephants, tuk-tuks,

trains, bicycles, horses, boats, and planes. 

 We even circumnavigated the globe.

I visited places I couldn't even imagine

and I fell in love ~ with the people, the

food, the culture of these exotic lands.

I challenged myself physically from

hiking the Alps in the ice and snow to

jumping off dive boats to snorkel reefs

in Mexico.

But most importantly I have rediscovered

me.  I'm living life the way I want to, not the

way others expect me to live it.  I have no

interest in following the same path all the time.

If a new trail presents itself I'm willing to

explore it.  And even if that trail is not well

paved and is a bit bumpy, that's okay with me.

So stay tuned, the blog continues and hopefully,

so will the new adventures.
