Twenty-two days after I started a three-week factory reboot, I boarded a plane for a life-changing adventure—an opportunity to practice many of the concepts I’ve been studying and writing about: setting intentions, working smarter, finding your support system and establishing a vision. It began with a three-hour flight to SeaTac, my premier ferry ride and 100 miles behind the wheel of a rental car that transported me to Washington’s Port Townsend off the Puget Sound. For four days, along with a fellow tribe of writers, I immersed myself into all-things literary—from tips and tools to hone the craft, to one-on-ones with our host, to free-writing sessions—while making time to explore the idyllic town, savor tea at Pippa’s and sample my first authentic Thai cuisine. Although still processing where to go from here, I’m determined to hold onto the space I created there—a low-key, stress-free rhythm—because it’s only life changing if I allow it to be.
What kind of life-changing adventure do you crave?

I crave a life-changing adventure where the imaginary setting begins like this:
Two talented people had been going along in life, happily or not, each on their own start/stop/pause/resume journey of their own makings… and then suddenly out of nowhere, their paths cross. They instantly resonate in some important & various ways. Their bond forms, or perhaps had already formed somewhere ethereal. They would never part from then on as lifetime friends. We’ll leave the rest open to the imagination.
Thoughtful post indeed. Thank you!
