Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you have imagined!

Saturday morning I start off on my road trip to Oregon, and since nothing is really going on here except for a whirlwind of packing and preparation, I will open this new journal with a series of quotes that inspired me back in November to even think about this crazy journey. Until I have some words and pics from the road, enjoy!
