Comment on One of the many churches
Living a dream...released myself from the burden of a mortgage, loving parentals accepted keeping the rest of my "stuff" for an indeterminate period of time, farewell cards from good friends for me to re-read when needed and a return ticket that doesn't have to be used until next year (or does it???).
Acutely aware of my ability to create whatever reality I want, will be interesting to see where this adventure will end up! Glad to have you along for the ride.
