February 04, 2004

The last time I went back to Europe was a turning point in my life; it’s when I discovered that I wanted to write for a living.

On the ten hour flight back to Seattle I did nothing but literally talk about how I was going to write when I got back. And although it would take me three months to work up the courage to do so, I did it. That trip reminds me of why I travel; to become inspired, to see things from a different point of view and to relax away from home worries.

Now, I am returning once again to France for many different reasons; to look for a home, relax, do some travel writing, celebrate my 30th birthday on the 17th. But mostly I am returning because I’m ready to once again find inspiration.

I’ll be gone until February 25th and then I’ll be in Dallas from February 26-29 to speak at a Writing Conference so I will see you in March.

Have a fabulous February!
