| Brad and Jen's journal entry for: |
| June 27, 2001 Howdy, Another day working on the webpage. We added a link to the page "Presentations/Seminars". Brad would like to use the webpage to advertise for possible workshops and seminars Brad can conduct when we return. We have been mentally preparing to pack up our lives. We rented a storage locker starting July 1. That will give us three weeks to pack up our lives. Can you believe our lives will fit in a 5 x 9 storage locker. Maybe if you know us, you know we live pretty simply. Heck, the most valuable stuff we have is camping and climbing gear. It is both exhilirating and anxiety provoking to contemplate packing up our whole lives. What a great way to clear out the junk and get down to what really matters. Have you ever taken a look at what you have that do not really need? We are sorting through our stuff and giving it to people in need. What things do you have in closets and storage spaces that might be better used by someone in need? Maybe now is the time to "clean house"? Or if that feels like to big of a step, how about just 1 thing that you could easily part with. Or do it like my wife, just one thing she thinks I could part with and probably won't notice when it is gone. This is a potentially dangerous strategy though. However, in my case, my wife always seems right...good thing I trust her! We have been gearing up a bit with essentials for life on the road. We have ordered a digital camera, and hope soon to be able show you who we are. Also, we received new boots for the trip. It is starting to become very real that in about two months we will be nomads, traveling the world. What an awesome thing...to let go of everything...to open up to new information, people and places. Peace, Brad and Jen |
