Why November 6th?

I know this is one year from the first blog post however, there is more to this.


It is the 10 year anniversary of the single best trip I ever took in my entire life. 


It was 2006, a year of great darkness.  This is the year that I was separated from my first husband.  However, it was also a year of great light, including this trip.


I started plotting shortly after he left me.  At first, I would save up and apply for my passport.  Then I saved up for the trip.  Then ordered the plane tickets and go.


These were the first steps to taking care of me. 


To honor the spirit of this trip, I picked the anniversary to complete this challenge.
