The Book is Almost Complete!

Almost a year has passed since we have returned from our incredible adventure, and our life has returned to the normal routine, with the exception of incredible stories and photos to share.  I think, too, that all six of us has been changed by the experience.  I would say that yes, it was life-changing.

The blog itself began as an on-line journal.  I wanted to be able to document our travels and the stories of the "road trip", since the details and possibly entire events could be easily forgotten with passing time.  I also wanted to share our experiences with family and friends both back home and those we met along the way.

The project has grown, and I now wish to encourage other families to take a page from our story, and dare to try something like this themselves!  Yes, there will be obstacles since everyone comes from a different situation, but there are also many solutions, many opportunities that can be embraced.

The key is to remember that how you live each day is how you live your life.  You have the power to make a change.

Lots of things happened along the road that I didn't post, due both to security and in order not to alarm our "Moms" back home.  I am looking forward to sharing our story (in its FULL version!)  If you are interested in purchasing a copy of the book, please let me know and I can put one aside in your name.

Thank you for your encouragement.   It's so good to be home!
