six years ago, john and i had our first date in the small town of ooty, india.
this october, we are planning an extended trip to asia, flying in to delhi. india will always be our first love. the scents, colors, tastes – every sense is overwhelmed. we look forward to seeing northern india, feeling the energy of the ganges, the trains, the crowds.
with japan on the back burner, we’ve decided to move on and do some volunteer work in nepal and hopefully spend some time in bhutan. we spent a long time freeing ourselves of responsibilities, our kitties, jobs, nyc. there’s no saying we won’t return to any or all of those things, but life is here. we may as well live it.
it’s never easy to let go, but i let simplicity, inspiration, my husband, goals of a boat and a dog, a hut and some chickens, and an inherent need to do better and be better guide life, one we share so seamlessly. it’s so important we take time in our lives to breathe, swim, play and share, dream, create, stretch, purge, and see the world. humans need challenges, sacrifice, adventures, freedom. and it’s beautiful.
