Poem #3

Filed under: Musings — Rachel @ 7:59 am

I don’t know what happened.

I really really thought it was gone. And now its back.

Lingering and wondering.

Is it for me?

I didn’t think I wanted it anymore.

But a surprise. Now do I?

I think I do.

I feel it. My heart. My heart feels it.

What am I going to do?

When I grow up

Filed under: Musings — Rachel @ 9:08 am

I decided what I would like to be when I grow up.  Someone important asked a similar question to me last night and I was like “oh, a travel writer.” And he was like - “Well then do it.” And boy did I resist… but I woke up this morning with a plan.  I am going to stop the resistance and let you, the internet world aware of my plan.

I am not going to quit my day job. My day job will serve as my living cost, food and entertainment AND travel cushion.  Next - I am going to network.  Rather than use my friend’s friends to get JOBS (at least for now), I will keep them as contacts. And I will have them help me make contacts.  And I will find other ways to network.  Not asking for anything yet.  Just to build a base.

Then I will keep writing travel stuff on my own, and once I write something worthy of being show somewhere, I will discuss with this network publication with them - or even someone in general.

So my plan really is not a plan, but a path. One I don’t really know what will happen while traveling it, but I guess I can’t know.   But now I know what I want at the end of my path.  Where the rainbow is supposed to be.  And I am happy about it.
