Happy 2018 and To a Life Well Lived

When you realize the value of all life,

you dwell less on what is past

and concentrate on the preservation of the future.

Dian Fossey

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language.

And next year’s words await another voice.

T.S. Eliot

Thank you for your generous and needed support during this difficult period of my life. 

Losing Mike in August was an event that shaped 2017 in ways that will take a long time to sort out. 

Death of a loved one decidedly brings up lots of questions and sometimes few answers…

But life moves on with a new appreciation of all events, big or small.

A reminder that life is way too short to dwell on the negative.

Enjoy every single moment. 

This is the way Mike experienced each and every day – a life full of adventures, a life well lived, a life full of great memories

And hopefully an inspiring life to his friends and family.

I am leaving for Africa on January 10 for a 73 day safari via 10 countries (and limited access to internet/phone). 

Mike always wanted to visit that continent so, in his honor, I am happy to embark on this new journey.

I believe I am ready to resume my traveling blog so stay posted.
