Knowledge is my nourishment

Good morning bloggers,

I've been here since Thursday & I explore different parts of the island daily. It's so rich in culture, history, myths & rituals. Every time I learn something new about the island I am fascinated. As I learn this culture I realize that I am becoming addicted to traveling & discovering new things, places & people. Each time I visit a different country/ place I loose my fear & build my confidence. Had you question me about traveling  8 years ago I would have said, it's up to my husband (ex). Now a days I take off every 4 months, domestically & internationally. I consider myself blessed to be able to go to all these places & meet new people.
And although I'm all the way in Maui, almost 13 hours away from NJ, I met some people from Livingston, NJ! Not only did it make me realize that other people share my passion, but it also made me realize that it is a small world. I have to admit, I really have not explored the island @ night, but it's because my work ethic @ home causes my physical exhaustion! I'm still working on that situation. But, I'm glad to report that tonight I will be mingling with the locals. Let's see what this evening brings!
As for nourishing my health: health does not always come from medicine. Most of the time it comes from peace of mind, calmness in your heart, & the tranquility of your soul. In short health comes from laughter & love! And this is why I possess an infectious cackle & have love for all people & things.
As for my social status: women with higher IQ's have a harder time finding a mate, because their intelligence doesn't allow them to be with the wrong person! And this is why I remain single.
It wasn't always this way, but time, experiences, situations, & very valuable lessons have taught me better!
Let me share my new knowledge:

Highly Favored

Good afternoon bloggers,

I write to you from the majestic island of Maui! This entry was inspired by a conversation I was having with one of my friends. He was surprised to hear me say that I was going to be blogging for big part of my day. Blogging helps me express my feelings & sometimes I just feel overwhelmed with joy! My journey has been so difficult & when I'm surrounded by natural beauty, I realize how truly blessed I am!
So many people have been in my life & left, in some form, & I still get to do things I love! Like traveling, adventuring, & so many other experiences. There is an eloquence in free enthusiasm that can't be doubted! One of the greatest & simplest tools for learning more & growing is doing more. Loose the fear, it will cripple you, learn how to love learning new things, meeting new people, & having new experiences! I promise you, you WILL NOT regret it!
My life journey continues to surprise me, my only regret is that I have not found anyone worthy of sharing it with! But one of my most valuable lessons has been patience, & for that I am eternally grateful! Be bold enough to use your voice, brave enough to listen to your heart & strong enough to live the life you always imagined. I regret nothing in my life even if my past was full of hurt, I still look back & smile. Because it made me who I am today!
This is why  I am convinced that I am highly favored!
