Safely Safe....

This is just a quick check-in.

I did arrive safely, still have jet lag and haven't been shopping yet. :)

I'm looking forward to some shopping later this weekend.

As most know though, this isn't entirely a pleasure trip. I've been engaged in many necessary conversations, evaluating things, looking at things a new way and trying to get back in balance. It's happening, even though at times it feels a little painful.

It's like going to the chiropractor. It hurts like the devil during the treatment but feels so much better afterward.

Many things will be different when I get back. Not to detail all of it now but there are definite changes in my world.

Hope everyone is doing well. Let me know. Say something. I haven't been able to read blogs with the exception of a few things a friend has emailed to me. I gave her my password and she gets on my Google Reader, chooses a few and sends them to me. When I get back, I'll catch up.. and I promise to not make comments on old posts unless something really strikes me so much that I have to say something.

Be well! :)

    it's YOU! i've been thinking about you so much, about your journey and your body hitting the ground, about the smells and sights and tastes and the joy it must bring you.

    i am so glad you checked in, a part of me wants to be there too, right now in this moment, hearing your experiences over a cup of tea.

    i can't wait to hear more. i am cheering you on from here.

    And I love going to the Chiropractor too.

    And I love being overseas.

    oh Chani - I have been wondering what it was like when you stepped outside for the first time - the sights, the sounds, the smells. So glad you are there and I can't wait to hear about it.

    What an adventure, inner and outer. How well do you speak/write the language? How did you learn it?
