Window Shopping in Mystic, CT
As I write this, I'm still in travel mode...hanging out in New York City (a huge THANK YOU to my Sister, Brother in Law and Nephews for letting me stay with them) and preparing to venture out to the Jersey Shore for the first time! All this travelling has been proving to me that when you jump, the Universe will provide a net...
I've never had the time to travel in an open ended way before. It's really amazing! My friend, Becki, organized our New England road trip as we went...calling ahead to our next anticipated stop and every piece (effortlessly) fell into place as we forged on. Truly remarkable. Also, my New York stay was only supposed to go through to April 3rd, and then I was invited to New Jersey. This has also reminded me how amazing the wide net of friends I've been gifted with over the years is...most recently, the Iona branch.
I feel at my best when stretching myself and moving around...seeing new things, so this time has been one of renewal for me after having to leave Scotland/the UK. This trip has confirmed how much I love to travel, even on a local level.
Next up? After a few small day trips in the Connecticut area...I'm flying down to New Orleans in May! I haven't been down there since 2001, so it will be much different this time. Then, I will be travelling north to check out a culinary program.
All very exciting and filled with Hope, Faith and Love...and sometime a little bit scary. I have also been trying to do more things that scare me lately. No jumping off bridges...at least, not in a literal sense ;)
I've found that to be the best way to approach the future. Whatever works, is meant to be and whatever doesn't, well, wasn't.
As some of my friends said to me while on Iona, "If it's for you it will not pass you by"
