new or old…traveling or creating
There is something about exploring that can thrill a heart. It’s a challenge for sure. One that really doesn’t have a specific way of doing something except having an open mind. THere’s not a set of agenda per say of HOW to do something when it comes to seeing something new…or simply afresh.
While you might know by now, but in case you don’t (perhaps this is your first or even second time you’re here in which case I am glad to meet you!) I love traveling. There’s something that excites me about traveling. Maybe its because it forces me in an oddly safe way to get out of my comfort zone. The adventure of new even when I go back again and again to an almost familiar place. Hoping in a car to travel friends an hour or 10 is an adventure to me, because it matters enough to set aside time, money to continue to build relationships. Most do the same for me. I’m not going to lie…having free housing and food is a huge incentive for me to travel to them…that and I almost always get to photograph.
But there’s other ways to explore.
For instance, what if you don’t and don’t even want travel…don’t let that stop you from exploring. It’s as simple as reading or re-reading a really good book. Or creating something from scratch even adding to an old project. Exploring by definition is:

In other words, my friends….when you explore there’s something new and refreshing that often happens. If nothing else, you learn from exploring. And maybe, maybe a small section of your world might be changed…I hope for the better.
