.destination - unknown

Change.

It is intoxicating. Terrifying. Beautiful.

Everything has come together today.

Everything feels so clear and so right that I have goosebumps.

Am sitting in my mosquito net, looking up at the stars.

I have accepted a job in Homer, AK starting October 15. I will be
working for a lovely lady and her husband that my brother Daniel
introduced me to via email. I will be helping out through the winter
months and in exchange get to have a lovely place to stay in one of the
most beautiful places in the word (at least in the summer months)

so, I am going to head off into the unknown.

I am going to go back to the states Sept. 16 and then after getting
paperwork in order, pack up everything i own and drive across country
and up to Alaska through Canada.

I will know no one.

I do not having a nursing job, just a hope and a prayer.

but the spine -tingling fact is that I know without a shadow of a doubt
it is exactly what i need to do and where I need to go.

i have never driven in snow.

i haven't chopped firewood since I was little.

I will be going from a hot and arid desert climate, where temperatures
climb up to 120 degrees to a a cold, isolated, freezing temperature winter.

I will be shoveling snow - and i am wildly excited

from the ends of the earth to the last frontier

i feel so excited, so sure, so free, so liberated, and so young

the call of the unknown is a strong and beautiful force

extremes

it lets you know you are alive

on to the next adventure (well, in 3 months), on to knew challenges, new
friends, and new opportunities to grow

I am so lucky and feel like dancing and screaming

the open road is calling me

and nothing can keep me from answering
