On my journey

"If you build it they will come"..I have always loved this line from Field Of Dreams. It took going through a divorce, meeting my sister girlfriend Michelle and opening my heart....And now here I am nearly a decade later..a traveler. My parents started taking us on vacations at an early age but, my immaturity did not allow me to appreciate it at the time. But now, in this moment, I am fully aware. Aware that the world is out there ready and waiting for discovery. Lands rich with culture, beauty, struggle, sacrifice and promise. Cities, mountains, beaches, deserts and forests some man made all inspired by the Creator.

Places so beautiful that they appear to be a backdrop or postcard. However, it's real. The sunset, the moonlight on the waves, the smell of evergreens all placed here for our enjoyment. Yet, they elude most of us like the stars in the sky. We make excuses as to why now is not the time to take that trip. There's work, the kids, the bills, not enough time, must lose 20 pounds first..so we wait..wait...wait. We wait for the prime opportunity to make that move. Move- To change in position from one point to another. The lyrics to the song say...Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?

  1. Jodi! That line from Field of Dreams... I find myself repeating that often as I am moving forward in the direction I ought to be heading.... you know when some fear creeps into my head... like should I try this new idea... live this new dream... "If you build it, they will come." Love that line! Beautifully written blog my friend.
