It is Thanksgiving and I have to say I am very thankful for being back here with a wonderful family and great friends. It was a good adventure, something I needed to do on my own, as a woman living in America in 2008.
So many people expressed amazement that a woman would ride on her own across the land, that my husband 'let' me. My husband was my biggest supporter, probably the biggest worrier too, but that didn't stop him from knowing that it was the right thing for me to do at this juncture in my life. And he knows me. I am not someone who pushes the limits in everything, not a profound risk taker. Just a dabbler.
I celebrate freedom and self-expression. Living with limitations (physical, monetary, etc.) is a reality, but we should not impose artificial limitations on ourselves. Fear can keep us from expressing our desires and I made a vow a while back that if I had to make a change in jobs, I would take this trip to regain a fearless perspective on the future.
