Written at the end of 2016
This year was all about being open and saying "yes" to new experiences. When I had an epiphany and accepted the fact that my marriage was over, I was at peace. I decided I would be open to the good things that the universe brought to me, especially travel. I traveled more in 2016 than I ever imagined I would. After my epiphany, I traveled to Dallas, Tallahassee, Shreveport, Nicaragua, U. S. Virgin Islands, Washington DC, Rio de Janeiro, and ended in Flint what I called my "Eat, Pray, Love...Drink Tour". After flying home from Michigan, I didn't have any other trips booked at the time, so I used that break in travel to officially change my name, thus ending my self-proclaimed tour. I didn't stop traveling though. After I received my new passport, I booked a trip to Istanbul in October. Then, I spent Christmas in Texas' Hill Country reflecting on the past year and acknowledging that I was exactly where I needed to be.
I didn't start 2016 with the intention of creating my own version of Eat, Pray, Love. I just allowed the spirit to work in my life and I accepted the opportunities that came my way.
