Happy Monday everyone :)
Many of you may already know, but for 2017 I received the privilege of pursuing a dream that I've had for many years. That dream is to see the world. For far too long I've denied myself the opportunity to do so mainly for financial reasons, but to be completely honest the real reason behind not leaving can be pointed to guilt. Guilt to leave my family as a youth, and as a married woman now, guilt to leave my husband behind. I felt that I was being selfish by going somewhere by myself. We love spending time together and we rarely are separated for more than a day or two at most. Maybe shame also. Who am I to be seeing the world when I "ought to be doing something else"?
Through several years of personal growth I've come to learn a few important life lessons that got me to this point:
- My dream is just as valid as anyone else's.
- Without loving myself I cannot better love others.
- By accepting myself for who I am I can better accept others for who they are.
So, I began my traveling dream with my now travel buddy Joanne. :) Our first stop was Singapore.
Next week: Singapore: Nature view
Next stop: London
