I believe that we have lost stories and replaced them with scripts. This is my attempt at bringing back a little of that traveling troubadour spirit into the world. Stories about places I have been, things I have seen, thoughts I have had and opinions I have formed. This blog is a long time in the making. The original idea was to simply write an on-going autobiographical blog telling stories from my life. Recent world events and specific life events have changed the intention somewhat – but the core mission remains.

In the original spirit of the early Blog concept, these are stories about me and my life. It is about change, growth and knowledge – and what you can learn simply by ‘walking the earth’ as it were. I was born on 1 continent, married on another, raised my children on a third. My stories span 50 years, 3 continents and many trips to other lands.

I write under a nom de plume for now. I want this to be an open and honest representation of my thoughts, I do not want to censor myself for the benefit of those I write about.

I hope that you will take something from these words, maybe learn a lesson from these pages – so you don’t have to do it the hard way, or simply get some enjoyment from what I have to say.

Welcome!
