When I began writing The Permanent Tourist in February of 2013, I decided to go into the project with no expectations.  I opened my heart to possibility and began to write, meet people and write some more.  Before I knew it the opportunity to do The Permanent Tourist radio talk show came my way in October of 2013.  I took that in stride, loving every minute of the work I do at the station.  I have continued moving forward, no expectations, open to whatever comes my way.  There are times when I get frustrated and feel that the wheels have come to a grinding halt, especially while recovering from major surgery all summer.  But the wheels have continued and I am amazed at all of the doors that are opening and providing new work for me that will enrich my life and the lives of others.  That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it?  My favorite season is dawning and life is very good!

So on this Tuesday morning, I’d just like to say thank you to my friends, sponsors, supporters and, most of all, to my family for their support and belief in me and what I’m doing.  We just never know what may be coming our way with each new day.  It’s so important to keep working, keep an open mind and ALWAYS, always say thank you!  I’ll have lots to share as things develop and unfold!

   I am so happy to be traveling along with you. Thank you for asking us to join you. It is wonderful to meet new “friends” even though we don’t get to see each other face to face. We miss the Island so much when we’re back home — you give us just the right amount of information that keeps us going until we can return.
