I recently discovered I haven’ t moved far from the place I was in a few months ago. And so I decided to pack up my things and find a new place to settle. I didn’t know exactly where I wanted to go, but I did remember a place I passed by over a year ago. So, last week, I found myself in a place that has some familarity, but it’s mostly full of newness and unknown.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve never really known where I wanted to be one day. Some love that sort of thing, while I would much rather know, settle, and call it home for a long time. Or so I think. There is a newfound part of me that enjoys the adventure and very small doses of the unknown. Unsure of what I have to lose, I set out to climb my Inca Trail.
It’s really because of you. Yep, you, as in the person reading this writing. For some reason, I believe I have something to say and for some reason you agree. And so you read and leave comments from time to time. Those comments are rich nuggets I’ve been collecting over time and I’ve finally decided to do something with it. Your words have been a light as I’ve wandered in unlit places. So to everyone who has taken the time to share the ways this writing has warmed you or has encouraged your pursuits towards what really matters in life, thank you. My next steps up this steep mountain could not be done without your love.
With the deepest support from my best, I’ll be taking some big steps in unknown territory. I want to do more with these words on a page and courage is required. I’ll be writing more and making it a larger focus in my life so I can truly do what I love, full time. This means you might be seeing weekly trends with this blog, slight changes & updates, and broader range of categories.
I can’t do this without you. Please continue to read and to share your thoughts. And if you leave inspired, I’d encourage you to send a link of inspiration to another person. And if at anytime, there is a topic or theme you’d like to see on this site — don’t keep it to yourself. Encourage me to grow.
As I continue to climb this mountain and begin embracing difficulty in the terrain, I will hold steadfast to the reason for my words. Because it isn’t what a man does that really matters; it is why, and that makes all the difference.
It’s almost been a million miles and I’m going to keep climbing. Because I know the people I meet along the way have a story to share and I have to be there to tell it.
