All the planning, buying, and making reservations ended today when I left the house at 6:30am. I said goodbye to Kate, took some pictures and jumped in the car ready for the journey to begin.
Much to my dismay I forgot to say goodbye to my dog Preston. When I first started planning my trip, I was going to bring my Lab Preston with me. He is my sidekick and has been my constant companion since I adopted him almost 7 years ago. I changed my mind, when I found out he has cancer, and I knew the trip would be too stressful for him.
Was it intentional that I didn’t say goodbye to him…NO! Maybe there is something deeper there, as I honestly don’t know if he will still be on this earth when I get home in 4-6 weeks. I know he has cancer, but it is so easy to forget that because he still gets me up every morning for breakfast, still loves going for car rides, and still has so much energy. I believe Preston showed up in my life for a purpose, he is my God dog, so sometimes I think maybe his mission is complete
My intention for this trip is to find where I go next in life. My whole life has involved taking care of so many people. My kids, my husband when we were married, my mom as she got older…now it’s my time to take care of me.
There are so many questions I am looking for answers to:
What makes me happy?
What do I want out of life?
What do I want my legacy to be?
What business would bring me the most joy? A travel or another health and wellness business?
I am going to discover a lot about myself this trip, and I plan on sharing my thoughts and insights to maybe light a fire in others that life is too short to not follow your heart.
If you are single, don’t let that stop you! Take the first step…that is the hardest one!
I had no fear about taking this trip by myself…only anticipation and expectation.
Next stop…Monticello, Utah.
