Although I do believe coastal Maine to be feminine, it really is how I feel in a particular place. How easy is it for me access my feminine self; live from a place of receptivity and be guided from a knowing/feeling rather than a thinking/doing. It's a great adventure and I'm looking forward to seeing what Spirit has in store for us. And Paula's right when she says "life is now to long to keep doing the same old thing". Instead of 'gap year' I might start calling this our 'mid life mix up'. They both sound like loads of fun. By the way Vicki, congratulations on your ride!Camille Woodardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916000254591822583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840533252106148527.post-29011765594806253652011-06-26T15:31:39.538-07:002011-06-26T15:31:39.538-07:00Adventure is worth every ache and pain you experie...Adventure is worth every ache and pain you experience. If you don't try it, you may come to regret it. Life is to short not to take risks so dive right in, enjoy the ride.

One thing to remember is that the two of you have a crucial factor of your adventure already in place, and that is having each other. A life-changing event is always enhanced by sharing and simply grinning at each other at the end of the day. I'm thrilled for you both!<br /><br />Something I've come to realize myself, recently, is that life is now too LONG to keep on doing the same old thing. To stay fresh, and keep your mind and spirits young, most people need to move on. A change of scenery -- mental, physical or professional -- is like a vacation for the soul. It gives you a new perspective, allows you to learn and grow, explore and try out new muscles.<br /><br />Best of luck to you both. Just remember to buy some good down coats and snow boots...and enjoy!!Paulahttp://www.linkedin.com/in/paulacohennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840533252106148527.post-63631056054240026522011-06-26T11:10:57.571-07:002011-06-26T11:10:57.571-07:00....but I wonder what city will live up to the cri.......but I wonder what city will live up to the criterion of "feminine"?<br />(I say that knowing full well that the "gender" of "city" in French is female.....)<br />ARE you going to move in September to Maine?Erika Hanson Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007545046424228128noreply@blogger.com
