Wow!
A whole year has flown by since I wrote my first post titled No More Nine to Five on Present Day Nomads.
A year of pure joy! Making new friends, learning new skills, seeing new places, and having new experiences.
As I reflect upon the past twelve months, I realize that it has been a year like any other year. It had its ups and downs, and highs and lows, along with opportunities and challenges. Mistakes made, lessons learned and growth achieved.
Yet, it has been a year of more meaningful personal growth and satisfaction than in any twelve months that I can recall, and for that, I am truly grateful.
Grateful for having had the courage to start not one, but three blogs. One of them, I have already abandoned (part of lesson learned).
Grateful for having met great people like Barbara Winter and Sandy Dempsey and the rest of the Inspired Livelihood gang.
Grateful for having learned the value of sustained effort and the power of intentions and desires.
Grateful for having visited oft talked about places like Sedona, AZ and Las Vegas, NV.
Grateful to have camped in places like Enchanted Rock, and Grand Canyon.
But most of all, grateful for having found a new purpose and direction in my life. A desire to help others by sharing what I have gained from this experience; from this experiment.
I am dedicating the next twelve months to developing this blog to its true potential and building a business around it, enabling me to help those who are tired of being enslaved by the rat race, so they can make a breakthrough and find their own joy in Living with Delight.
Let me take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for hanging out with me while I tried to hang in there.
Congratulations on one year! May year number two be everything that you dreamed of.
Thanks, you guys, for hanging in with me through out the journey.
