LADING

Would you hike alone in the wilderness?

After recently reading Wild By Cheryl Strayed, I began to wonder if I had what it takes to travel by myself. When the three of us ventured to Europe, we had safety in numbers. When I finished the book, I was compelled to grab my bike and set off on a cross county trek- or at least an hour ride all by myself. I was consumed with this idea until a dear friend of mine spoke with such clarity one day. I told him about my overwhelming desire to go on a journey. He responded, ” You’re already on one, kid. You’re already on one.”

    Thought provoking….I also believe that we don’t have to be on actual trek to be on a journey. Everyday is a day to find ourselves, purpose, new ideas, and various other discoveries. Look forward to hearing more.

      Yes! Each day uncovers new things, if we keep our eyes open. Thanks for chiming in!
