Keep on, keeping on

While I was scouring the net for something to write about today I thought maybe I should just share my own news. I've been your resident blog writer for a while now but alas, times have changed. I'll be moving on to a whole new life that I haven't yet planned.

2010 means a lot of things for a lot of people. I think 2009 gave everyone a bit of a wake up call. It was like the Universe said...look, this is how bad things can be unless you change. It's crazy actually. But necessary. For the first time in a while my insides are on fire. I almost forgot what that felt like.

Even though leaving Tourism Radio is worse than breaking up with a boyfriend, there is something quite sexy about not knowing what will happen tomorrow. Beats a boyfriend. For now. While I was cleaning out my desk I found a little quote that was on my pin board. It read differently this time even though I've read it at least one hundred times before.

Comes from that movie about the guy who goes to Alaska on some existential crisis of sorts and then dies in the freezing cold Alaskan icy backyard. Great movie, based on a true story and a lesson to be learnt here and there. Firstly, always carry a compass. Secondly, listen. Be brave enough to know what you want and hear what your heart is telling you.

So here goes...

'So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.'

So there you have it. That's really all I have to say. Start again, and make sure that your own horizon is endlessly changing. Heres to travel, let it take you places.

Bon Voyage!

Love
