. . .
The day was magic. Pure magic.
. . .
So far this adventure has been everything I have been searching for and infinitely beyond.
. . .
Exhaustion from traveling has hit however, and I am now visiting with family to celebrate our country's freedom. So thankful for that. <3
. . .
I decided to record my thoughts of the day while they were still fresh on my drive from Zion to my cousin's house. This is my first audio blog I have ever recorded, even for just my own listening pleasures. I'm sharing it with you all so you can feel the energy of my words as if I am telling you directly about my experience. There are so many people I wanted to call and share this with, so I felt like this was a great way to share the story of the best day of my life so far.. which also happened to be my first truly solo day on the road. (I'll get into that later.. )
. . .
I hope you enjoy. Whoever you are, wherever you are listening from. I hope my story ignites a fire inside of you that makes you travel too. Even if you can't physically travel now, or even for a while, don't forget to travel in you dreams. In your thoughts and in your soul. Have a traveling spirit. It will set you free.
. . .
P.S. If you listened and are wondering who "Joan" is and what my "magic whistle" is all about, here's a short story.
. . .
My great Aunt Joan on my mom's side was like a grandmother to me. She transcended her human form about a little over two years ago, and when she did, she gave me a solid gold whistle necklace, with a note that said "If you ever need me...just blow." I'm blessed to have not had to use it for dire times but I'll admit it has become one of my favorite pieces of jewelry and has come in handy for parking spots (especially when I lived in San Francisco!) Parking Lucy in The Sky is no easy task, and on a national holiday weekend of all times! ...well, let's just say I know she was with me when I got that perfect parking spot to take a quick swim! Thank's Joan, love and miss you always xo, <3
. . .
P.S.S. If you listened and are wondering who this "Annelise" character is.. she's my best friend forever and eternity. We met when we were in pre-school and even got to work with each other this past year in SF. Good times, sad times, we've been through it all together. I can't wait for her to visit me along this journey so we can dress cute and take pics and frolic, haha <3
