Spread my wings

Something shifts inside of me when I leave familiar and explore new places.  Revisiting favorite places is restful.

It's not JUST the energy of the moving water, it's not JUST the endless horizon It's not JUST the smell of ocean air or any other "justs"

It's the CONTRAST to my "normal "

I have been to every state except Michigan and Alaska in a car. I've taken several x-country road trips, camping,  soaking in wilderness hot springs,  roaming wild lands, spelunking into caves in California coast (lost boys come to mind) I've done some week long Hike and pack-in wilderness camping in CRAZY places.

Hiking, x-country skiing the west coast- views for miles, sailing in a tiny boat on less than ideal conditions bobbing and weaving.

I've moved over 60 times in my life (homes-yes) Change is welcomed in my world.  I love it.I get bored with routine and "same toast, same eggs" living.

I've launched and built several successful businesses and sold/moved away to begin again.  Is it scary -yes, but everytime I challenge myself in that way- I grow. And that makes it worth it.

I will always seek deep inner peace in knowing who I am and what life is about.I'm always LEARNING GROWING EVOLVING and I understand CHANGE IS INEVITABLE -Suffering is optional.

I'm here for now-and I have no clue what awaits me in my next season of life. What's the next adventure?I have a bucket list. Trust me.

For now,  I'm here. Building,  growing and learning.  But my adventures are FAR FROM OVER. Nothing is keeping me here. I love my community, the deeply meaningful and close friends I've made over the years, and yet, my wings continue to want to spread.  I will know when I know. I don't want to FIT IN, I want to BELONG somewhere.

I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE GOOD!! 🔥🐝🌺🌸
