As most of you know when I left on this journey about 2.5 months ago I was heading out looking for a place to have 4 walls to call my own aka a home. Along with a little inspiration n motivation to pick up my camera again n to make peace with it. Well so far on this journey I have found something so much more important than a place to call home. I found peace within myself , peace with my camera. I found creativity again, I'm learning to slowly over come some of my fears, n for once I am content with who I am. (After a rough patch of bad events I had lost myself, I felt like a shell of who I used to be. But that is no longer) I used to feel like I needed someone to complete me but right now I see that is not true. (I hear aren't u lonely out there on the road with just your cat? Truth is I felt more alone before I left , than I do out here with just my cat.) All I needed was to figure out myself n for once become content with my own thoughts n in my own skin again. I'm happy I was never taught not to talk to strangers cause , I have met some of the most amazing people that exist on this earth on this journey .... as well as reconnected with so many people I have not seen in years. Some of them I have not seen in over a decade. I feel blessed to have seen , experienced, n photographed so many amazing places n moments. While I sit here in Colorado in my car with my sweet little kitten staring at me from my dash board, so tempted to turn west n drive back to the desert, (the desert I dream of every night, the red rocks I fell so deeply in love with) with the mind set that I can make anything work for myself if I just put my mind to it. I got a call today that I should turn east n brave my way across Kansas (me n tornados r not friends, let's hope we don't cross paths) n back to the east coast for a minute . I know my grandmother will be happy to read this. (As she tells me daily she misses me) As it is bitter sweet they say everything happens for a reason. N like good advice that came to me in a dream the other night, I will be back on the road again soon. Now don't get me wrong I'm not high tailing it back to nj, I plan on stopping when my eye catches a moment that needs to be frozen in time. I'm hoping when I get back to run some test prints of budget allows n see how my images look printed on a larger scale n maybe try to set something up where I can put some prints up for sale, n see how that works out for me. I'll never know if I don't try. Maybe one day I will figure out how to get a gallery show somewhere in the USA also. But one day at a time , my journey is far from over, it's just time to turn the page n see what this next chapter has in store for me. Life has been beyond magical n I refuse to let that come to an end. Back on the road in the morning. Thank u again to everyone who has helped me out along the way. Donation, hitting the share button, giving me tokens of luck to carry with me, gifting me supplies, messages of kind words n encouragement , and everlasting memories on the road. It all means the world to me. Words can not express how thankful I am for each of you. Thank u for all your support on this journey
