I’m off on an adventure.
To find myself and rise from the ashes…
I dedicate this tour of discovery to my incredible son and daughter.
They fought to hold my head above the water when I was drowning in grief and was ready to give into the darkness. They shored me up when I was certain my foundations were crumbling into dust. They patiently listened when I had nothing new to say but needed to say it anyway, when I raged against the injustice and pain. They reassured me that I was worthy of being on this planet.
They firmly but gently let me know when it was time to give up fighting a one-sided battle. A battle where the other side wasn’t even fighting….
And… to my family and friends who rallied around me when I was ready to let them into my despair. Who enveloped me in their love and lent me their strength when I felt weak and helpless.
Life inevitably goes on, even when it changes direction on you without your consent. When things happen that you did not choose, things that you never would have chosen. When the silence seems deafening from some who you thought were friends but who disappeared like ghosts when you needed them most.
When it just doesn’t seem fair.
Now it’s time for me to reinvent Deb. To find my joy again.
And, I reckon Tasmania is as good a place as any to start.
Solo, just me and my motorbike, surrounded by natural beauty, history and some adventure.
I will try and post here regularly. I hope my tech works and I can get some good footage and photos.
Come along with me if you like.
Or don’t.
Your choice 😊
This time, for the first time in a very long time, it’s about me….
