How Much Is Enough?

How much is enough?

Have you ever been told
Enough is enough?
What is enough?
How much is exactly enough?
Enough already!
That's enough!
Enough of this!
Enough of that!
Enough is enough...
What is enough?
How do we even measure enough?
I can't see enough
I don't feel enough sometimes,
And yet enough is enough...
What if there was really more..
More enough
More enough of this
More enough of that
Then where would we be after
All these years believing
Enough is enough...
The truth is
I can never get enough of you ...

A Limitless Sky!

A Limitless Sky....

It was time to head back north after 11 days in the south. Sights, sounds, experiences all locked away in my memory.

Memories which were priceless.

Biking on the beach, seeing dolphins with old friends to walking in the fields of Virginia with the sites and sounds of our historical past with new friends.

All experiences I am grateful for. I feel a sense of peace and contentment as I head back into the known. Having stepped out into the unknown on my own with this "bucket list road trip" I can only imagine what the future holds as I follow my dreams.

Do you dream? Do you follow those dreams?

Today as was driving through West Virginia the clouds in the sky were breathtaking and I thought...
" If I could just follow this beautiful sky, it's limitless, just like my dreams!"

Wondering were my dreams will take me next....

Friends From The Start...

Strangers, Who Were Friends From The Start....

Have you ever met someone, felt so comfortable and at home and realized they were strangers?

Is it possible that strangers never were strangers but friends from the start?

Why do we connect with some people and not others?

All questions that I was made aware of today. People that should have been total strangers according to the world. They never seemed like strangers, but friends that connected in a very unique way from the start.

Two very special people, friends for a reason, lives touched, memories made, a connection on a level beyond what most people create in a lifetime. A feeling of warmth, familiarity, welcomeness, and acceptance. All from what I thought were strangers, only to realize they were friends from the start!

In Awe of people!

The Look Of Love

"The Look Of Love"

I got to witness something this evening that I rarely see....

As my new friend was playing his guitar and singing the song
"Louisiana" to his wife... I saw a beautiful sight, it was the look of love!

His eyes sparkled as he sang to her and her smile lit up her face as she sang along...

Two souls in love, a look I haven't seen in a long time, a look we can all hope for.... The look of Love!

In Love, In Awe, In Wonder....

Boone Hill Plantation...

Charleston Complete!

I couldn't leave the South without visiting a Southern plantation.
There were several I wanted to visit but with a time restriction I thankfully sat near a southern belle who was very friendly and she kindly suggested I see Boone Hill Plantation....

So off I went this morning with great anticipation. When I pulled up to the long driveway with 200 year old live oak trees it took my breath away. As I drive down the driveway and saw the small brick slave quarters I was brought to tears.

After seeing the plantation home
(which wasn't the original home from the 1700) but It was breathtaking! I knew I needed a closer look at the Slave quarters which were original, dating back to the 1700, again as I approached the buildings I was brought to tears.

A sweet African American woman who worked at the plantation saw my tears and said to me "it's ok we've all moved on".... I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by emotions..

Today was an experience I will never forget. Walking around the grounds of the plantation you could sense the history, the people, the difference between the haves and the have nots, the oppression and the wealth...

I can't help but Wonder about the lives that lived on Boone Hill Planation, how they lived and how they were treated. I also wonder about the generations since, and where they are today...

Wondering why it was the way it was?

Follow Your Dream...

Life's Passions

Some may seek, what they may get.
Some may feel, they are all set!
Some may care,
to dare and to share.
Some may follow their heart,
from the very start.
Whatever you seek,
seek out your dream.
Whatever you dream,
follow its life stream.
Wherever you go,
allow life to flow.
Never give up your hearts desire.
Your "Life's Passion",
holds the key for you to admire....

In Love Awe and Wonder....

Just One?

"Just One"

I love traveling and even by myself!
This "bucket list road trip" has been beyond anything I could have asked for.

I was reluctant getting in my car both ways. I knew coming I would spend time with wonderful friends. Then heading home I thought would be very difficult, but today proved to be anything but difficult...

Yet again, wonderful surprises awaited me.

I believe not having any expectations
has been one of the blessings of all the blessings I have received along the way.

Today I met 2 couples, the first one were two women traveling together who said they were teachers and they were. But come to find out the were also nuns with a calling to "resurrect" the environment...
I story I can't wait to hear and write more about.

The second, a lovey couple, a husband and wife with a love story for each other and the South...

So as I ordered my tickets, room reservations, and ask to be seated at a restaurant, people would say to me
"Just One?" at first it bothered me, but by the time my day ended I realized
"Just One" was a great way to be, after all being "just one" gave me an opportunity to meet some very interesting people!

In AWE of what's out there in this big world of ours!
