You're
a fulltime whaaat??? |

A
question I am asked when I tell people that I am a fulltime
RVer is what gave me the idea to do something so “crazy.”
Many say that travel is a secret desire, but they'd never
have the guts to actually do it. I can always relate to that.
For years I told myself I didn't have enough of some things
and too much of others. I didn't have enough money, courage
or time to pursue my dreams - and I had too many responsibilities
and too much fear.
|
| The
short answer to what finally pushed me out the door is that
I once read of a study done with people near the end of their
lives. They said
that in review, their regrets were for what they hadn’t
done, not for what they did. The response I most often get then
is how inspiring that is. So, I figure if I can do what I want
to do and at the same time if I can inspire one person to follow
their own dreams, the trade of security for freedom was well
spent. (Want to hear more? Here's the "long
answer".) |

I
left Austin on June 13, 2001 singing my theme song
“With Arms Wide Open.” When I heard Creed’s
hope for his newborn son, it spoke to me deeply.

When
I accepted my heart’s invitation to live my life as my
soul desired rather than as my fear dictated, that was what
I knew I needed to do in order to travel the road I chose
- keep my heart and my arms open to the experiences and opportunities
we are given for exploration and discovery every day of our
lives.
“If
I had just one wish, only
one command
I hope he’s not like me, I hope he understands
That he can take this life and hold it by the hand
and he can greet the world - with arms wide open
with arms wide open....”

INDEX The
link above will lead you to my Journey Journal entries since the
start of my fulltiming adventure in 2001. Some
of these entries have pictures, but mostly it's me rambling about
what's going on in my mind at the moment and relate to the main
