Yesterday evening I booked my ONE WAY flight to Ontario where I will start the first leg of my RTW trip. I will spend some time in the town I grew up in (Thunder Bay) visiting with my parents, one of my dearest and closest friends and extended family and friends. It is a great... Continue Reading →
Wheels are in motion
Well, I did it. I made a declaration that puts my RTW trip moving forward. Yesterday I gave my notice at work. Yes, it is 2.5 months away, however, with my job as an RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) I need to give 2 months so that they can find a suitable replacement for me. So... Continue Reading →
The Importance of Gratitude
Thirty-two days ago I posted that I was starting 100 Days of Gratitude. I wrote that my first day on this challenge was a "bad day" in which I did not have a warm and fuzzy feeling. It took some reflection for me to take a lesson from that first day. I believe I have... Continue Reading →

A short while ago I attempted (and failed) to make some changes to my blog. I changed the name along with the URL here on Blogger. I assumed that doing so would not only be easy but come with the 'how to' of having a re-direct for the webpage. It did not. I also ran... Continue Reading →
Gray Days
