Breath

The inspiration for these writings has stemmed from my life's travels and the people who have influenced me while I adventure. The details that make up the world breathe life into my journey. Those breaths, those moments of windedness, are what I want to share with you.

My encouragement stems from one of my closest friends, B.B., who righted my doubts while we were traveling in January. He solidifies my purpose and passions in life. Whenever we travel together, lanes are so wide.

The final stamp in my passport for beginning this journaling was when my brother and his girlfriend gave me Frances Mayes’ book “A Year in the World: Journeys of a Passionate Traveller” for Christmas. I finished it this morning, just in time to attend an event at the National Geographic Museum where Frances Mayes was speaking. She signed my book: “Ciao, Andrea.” I’m taking that as a ‘Hello’ and "I’ll see you on your travels soon." So, ciao!

  1. Andrea, I am so happy you are documenting and sharing with me. Your eyes have seen things that most 'normal' folks only dream and read about. Continue exploring and loving every second with such zest! Just remember 2 things, keep God the creator of all first. Remember your Parents who not only gave you life, but enjoy being part of your life. We love you, Mom and Dad

  2. Andrea- this is amazing! Congratulations on getting your blog up and running. You've inspired me so much in the time I've known you-- and I know this blog will help you continue to inspire others to look beyond the surface and see what life is really about. I'm so proud of you!
