I really liked the Alchemist but read it a while ago. It certainly lights a match under the butts of fine vagabonds everywhere. Your new trip idea certainly sounds intriguing but only you can put together all of the variables. And then the actions you take will hopefully generate the momentum you need.
What a great sojourn to the desert.I bet it will be awash in flowers with all our winter rains. I hope this journey brings you the resolution you are looking for Joyce.
I hear your hesitation. I have been a fearless adventurer all my life. But suddenly in the past few weeks I have gotten cold feet and lost all desire to travel and explore. It is not apathy but a genuine resistance. This is definitely not like me. Perhaps there is a reason for this hesitation that is not yet known. Something on the horizon of the future.
It does help. Thinking about writing that I decided NOT to go is something I dread ... but I know that I can't make that part of the decision ... but it does haunt me, so thanks.
Oh, Joyce! How this speaks to me, and how excited I will be to read your post on the 20th after your excursion! For a variety of reasons, I have avoided doing some deeper personal investigation in some fragile areas, but now in my early 70s, I seem to finally feel brave enough to face whatever turns up. Thank you, as always, for your insights, and your willingness to share your journey. Here’s to new insights, challenges, and joys! 😃❤️
Have a wonderful trip to the desert. I'll look forward to reading about it....along with pictures, I hope....when you return. Perhaps this is the 'trailer' for your adventure to Mexico.
You are IMHO a woman of action, discovering, creating, and sharing joy & beauty with others. Dreams have little to do with publishers, sales, or even travel. Dreams are born, thrive, or perish within our heart and soul. 🌿
I read somewhere, “You can’t steer a parked car.”
Have fun!
What a great statement! Feels like it broke a little log jam in my psyche.

Bon voyage.

Thanks, Jeanine ... and I hope it is indeed awash in wildflowers. I'm swinging through the poppy reserve to see what's happening there.
Wonderful Joyce! It's a perfect time to go there. Buen viaje amiga.

Lynn ... in my case, I think it's been too long since I've gotten out of my comfort zone. We'll see which way the coin lands.
I look forward to seeing how this story unfolds.
Joyce, you're an inspiration! Keep us posted. We'll be here.
Thanks, Andrew ... that's good to remember.
We also get that this is your journey, so we're gonna support you with whichever choice you make. I don't know if that helps to hear, but it's true!

Thanks, Kathleen, wishing you the best as you go deeper into whatever's calling you. Life wants to be lived ... whatever the hell that means. ;-)
😁 Most definitely — and thanks!

Oh, Heather ... love the idea of an adventure trailer ... what a great perspective to carry with me as I head out early tomorrow.

Thank you, Anita ... may our dreams live long and be strong.
