I gave birth to my first child. Though that was pretty major, I cannot imagine leaving family and the world one has known from birth behind ~ seeking new adventures.

There are no guarantees when we operate on faith and follow inner direction that the journey will be without challenges. If you had stayed in Italy, your life would have been completely different. But your life path was calling you elsewhere.

I'll look forward to the sequel to this! This also reminded me when I found an old diary of mine. I wrote it between the ages of 12 and 16...I would love to have a conversation with myself too!

But I did not know I would stay, my intention was just a long trip to visit all the states. I managed about 23 states in 3 months, but then I ended up in San Francisco and that ended the story. I’ll look forward to hearing more on your trip.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-30231965539093831892014-10-19T06:28:36.134-07:002014-10-19T06:28:36.134-07:00If we knew the challenges and consequences of ever...If we knew the challenges and consequences of everything we did, we might not do anything at all.

It turned out to be a wonderful adventure and I loved it... but moving to another country at that age I just can't imagine.
