I've been in a funk the last few days.
I Thank the Almighty for the optimistic people I have in my life. During one of my moments, I called my cousin to unloaded, and she asked very directly and plainly,"Meredith, what do you want?" I didn't reply. " I ain't trying to be deep. What do you want?" I sat silently in my car. I could not answer. Any other time, I could rattle off a list of wants within seconds. Today, I had nothing. At times like this, I turn to music. Today, it was Diana Ross who God used to speak to me.
"If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
Like a song too long unsung
Or a soul forever young
We all will find an answer
In the voice of the heart"
(Diana Ross: Voice of the Heart)

Watching Julie & Julia today inspired this blog. It has been a while since I have posted. I have broken a Golden Rule and have allowed work to consume me. Who knew the nonprofit world was so intense. After a year, I have finally found my groove and I'm starting to focus more energy towards this part of my life again. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do, but a purpose/passion balance is important to me. 
Unlike most bloggers, I don't have the desire to write a book or be a full time travel journalist ( if Ms. Winfrey ever needs a host for her travel show, I am her girl), but I have been approached about a few travel related business ventures, that could possibly turn into something. I don't know what that something is, but I'm praying & brainstorming. I am also investing in Professional Development that would allow me to work while traveling.
This year personal travel was 100% domestic. In the spring was DC, late this summer I took the train to visit family in New Jersey/ Philadelphia and a few weeks ago my family hit the road to Savannah & Tybee Island, GA. Both trips were fulfilling in very different ways. I had a trip to Hawaii planned for November ( after Election Day of course), but I had an operation a few months back and needed to use that Personal Time Off.
I'll be posting more in the months to come. I have recently been notified of work related trips all over the country in October, November & December.
With all that being said, if you are still out there, Thanks for reading,

I have a better chance of getting to Utah than India. I'll make this a mini Eat Pray Love journey.
Listen to CC White (http://www.soulkirtan.com/ ), ride a Llama, Throw colors at the Holi Festival & visit the Krishna Temple.
Sounds like a plan to me!
