I don’t blog here often about my recent bicycle trip across the USA. I do here. However, I haven’t been posting on my Road to Rhode site often since I’m not cycling 6+ hours a day. I’m working 6+ hours a day. I’ve spent my writing energy updating my school health blog here instead of writing about bikes, goals, life lessons.
I was connected to Amanda at Polished Pear Creative through a colleague (they are related) and I’m feeling it’s serendipitous that our lives have crossed passed at exactly the right time. I was inspired to write more when the momentum of hundreds of regular readers of my daily bike blog over 90 days this summer took place. I would love to continue to process my own journey personally but to inspire and share the story with a larger audience. Amanda and I officially partnered today to continue this journey of writing, sharing and processing the amazing event I experienced riding solo 4,197 miles.
If a book comes out of this process, great! Short stories? Awesome. But, the process itself will be amazing and will just build my skills as a writer, reader and speaker professionally. This is very out of my comfort zone, so here I go again… being bold and courageous and pushing myself beyond what I think I’m capable of doing. This past summer was a physical & emotional challenge. This will be an emotional & intellectual challenge. Let’s see what the end product may be… whatever it is, it’s not the destination, it’s the journey.
I’m glad you’ll be continuing your journey into personal growth, blogging, and entertaining us with your life adventures. You have great stories to tell the world and the work you are doing makes a huge difference in our schools and health. Can’t wait to see what you bring!
