New Blog for Travels With Jeep

It takes a lot of time to set up an adventure. I have so many ideas going around in my head that sometimes it becomes overwhelming. That is when I fail to start. Jeep had a few days of failing to start this past winter. When it was cold out, for some reason the battery just quit. Thank goodness the neighbors were willing to loan me a car so that I could get to work. Younger son came and fixed Jeep. Unlike a vehicle, we sometimes need a lot more motivation to get going on our ideas.

The first step is to pick one idea. Just one and it does not need to be a grand idea. All the steps after that relate to the first and on it goes. 

My idea? To use my vehicle, Jeep to get me out of the fear that can overtake me to the point of just hiding out in my house. The fear of driving, going places alone and being around strangers. The beginning of this story is long and I promise I will get to that. I started a few years ago going on little drives in Jeep and then writing about my adventures titled Travels With Jeep. Those trips were hit and miss. Life got in the way and I fell back on my old fears. 

Every now and then I would seem to be moving forward and not falling into the rut of overwhelming fear. Then the fear would once again choking me out of a life, and I let it. However, after my last divorce I realized that my life was drifting away. This is when I came to the understanding that I had to do something. I picked an idea and began working on it. Many of you who personally know have heard me talk about the idea, and are great cheerleaders. I thank you for that. 

The main idea is to use Jeep to continue my healing and to write about it. Actually, to continue to write about my healing, and how this beautiful little vehicle has helped me to be brave. This blog is where I will post my adventures, past, present and future. The good, bad and the ugly. My hope is that my words will help someone else struggling with fear. Ciao for now!
