I Yam Who I Yam

Today I start my month long, personal journey. I am filled with a mixture of excitement coupled with fear. First, I have never taken a month off of work in my entire life. Never. The most I've taken is 2 weeks off at Christmas, which really isn't time off at all. If you recall, it took me "2 Weeks to Peace" last year. At that time, I threatened a complete month off. That time has come. Second, I am traveling alone.

Can this be done? Can I really unplug for an entire month? Will I panic and run to the nearest internet cafe to obsessively check my mail? Will I be able to leave my cell phone in my hotel room when I take a walk on the beach? Am I able to be alone, in my head and in my heart.... am I courageous enough to peek into those places? Don't know. Won't judge myself either way. I yam who I yam and that's who I yam.

My plans are to travel to the Caribbean and do some island hopping......Nassau, St. John, wherever the wind moves me, and whoever has a boat going somewhere. I also plan on returning home to Key Biscayne and hopefully see some old friends. Maybe jet down to Key West for a few days.... who knows.

It's been one hell of a year, I turned 45, accomplished some big stuff, and my son is about to be 18 and is off to China. Off I go, to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

Stay tuned.... I plan on writing a lot while I am gone... I might share some. Don't judge me either way.

Make it a great day!
