I will be taking off for a year from work to do things that only please me.
During the summer weekend trips thave been planned. To visit several cities in Alaska I been dreaming to see: Sitka, Juneau, and then revisit my favorites Homer, Kenai, Talkeetna.
As I sit and ponder my travels I also plan to visit Iceland, Russia, more of Europe.
I have no clue where I got the travel bug to visit far off places...it doesn't matter, I have a wander lust that must be completed it seems before my time on earth is over - at my age now its paramount I travel and see the wonders of the world. THEN:
Come September I will be a university student once more. I shall be taking several university courses. University of Alaska, Anchorage offers a full range of options for my passions: photography, creative writing and pottery.
The photography course will only heighten my yearnings to be that National Geographic Photographer who snaps a bloom as it slowly opens to the morning rays after the evening dew filled it's thirst upon the ever dried soil.
Or to Capture the mother who yearns to be free from her child and be a child herself once more.
Or perhaps the award winning Botanical shot shall tickle my fancy...
Creative Writing is a tool I be using to write a book about my adventures as a Behavioral Specialist working with folks who have various disabilities. The past 7 years working with those who have mental disabilities and mental health issues has given me much thought to my own life and how very lucky I am to experience so much. All too often we forget to take time for ourselves. Writing gives me a change of scenery and a place to soften the edges of life when those around you are different.
Pottery will be a form to express myself in every day items. A bowl, a cup and plate.
My life path varies from most. Being the odd duck has never stopped me from doing as I wished my motto has always been "I am woman Hear Me Roar".
I love many and shall continue to love many as I walk among people who also are taking the journey to the end of time and with a passion to guide them.
