It can't possibly be 5 weeks since my last blog post. GAK! Oh my, how times files!
In response to some loving feedback that there are people 'out there' who are following along and wondering what the heck has become of me... I report that I am happy, healthy and after a short 'vacation' am heading back on the road!
The Readers Digest update would be that I continued to ride through north eastern states and eastern provinces until I reached my coveted destination, the most easterly point of Nova Scotia. After taking time to acknowledging the significance of my journey, both outterly, geographically, and innerly, emotionally/spiritually, I began my trek westward on the second week of August. I rode as far as Albany where I stored my bike and flew home for 2 weeks, spending most of that time with my 17 year old niece on our own Pacific North West road trip (in a car!).
At this moment, I am enroute back to Albany, NY excited to reunite with the bike and the simplicity of life on the road. The first 40 days accomplished many things including transporting me as far as I could be from the life I created for myself in Vancouver providing me with longed for space, clarity and perspective. This time has helped me slow down and hear the quieter voice within me that calls me to live joyfully and in love with the world. While the commitments we make outside ourselves are important, I am learning to make sure that those "yes"'s are in service to others as well as in tune with my heart song.
What's next? Well, it doesn't feel quite time to 'turn for home' and my life in Vancouver just yet, so I will head southward and westward toward a whole new array of adventures!
Thats all for now... much warmth and gratitude for all the support I've received on my journey and may you all be as equally blessed on your paths.

ps. and YES, I will catch the blog up on all the adventures that have taken place between then and now. I have enjoyed writing but it was starting to feel a bit narcissistic which contributed the decline in posts. I have been reassured that the blog is being enjoyed (and possibly even anticipated) by many and so I will happily continue the sharing my journey!
