I'm actually quite good at all the externals when it comes to traveling...I've researched, made lists, found the perfect bags, checked the weather, packed (and repacked). I'm excited about all the new sights and sounds that will come my way. What I'm trying to get better at is the internal stuff...I am taking this trip as much to let go of things as to let new things in. I have spent the last 23 years taking care of my darling daughters. I know I will always take care of them in some way, but I also know that it is time to let go. Time to let them fly. They are ready and they need me to get out of the way....But it is so hard for me that I have to physically plant myself on the other side of the world in order to do it!
I'd also like to get better at letting things unfold rather than making them happen. I've always been good at making things happen, but something is shifting in me...I am entering a new phase of life and I'd like to revel in all that is for a while. I have so much to be grateful for. I'd like to, in the word's of poet Derek Wolcott, "sit and feast on [my] life" for a bit. As I write this, I can feel the love and support of all my beautiful family and friends. Although I am leaving, and letting go, I am also taking each of you with me in my heart. Now, I've got to get out of here...Namaste.
