Birth Your Dream

You don't give up before the birth of a child.  It's uncomfortable, its excruciating pain, but you deliver it.  Birth your dream!  Be patient and wait for it.  Go through the process and deliver it.  I'm living proof of birth pains. 

No I'm not typically pregnant.  I am not about to have a baby.  But I'm pregnant with promise.  I am about to embark on the journey of a lifetime that almost took a lifetime in the making.  I am going on my first trip off island in almost 20 years.  Why so long you might ask?  

At first I was focused on getting well.  Then I got caught up with life and finances which really never made travelling an availablity for me.  Also my head space was just not at that point.  Later in my life when I actually considered travelling then I just didn't have the extra savings to do it.  Then my friend ushered me in.  She surprised me with one of the most influential birthday presents I've ever had.  She surprised me with a day tour of our sister isle. 

I loved the idea!  But then reality set in, I was fearful, after all I hadn't travelled in so much more than a decade.  I never really had all that much travel experience, cause' when I was in my homeland, we (my family) never really travelled either.  So like I said, I loved the idea, up until the actual day when I had to then fight feelings of fear mixed with excitement.  

So to make a long story short.  I went on my trip to Barbuda, I totally enjoyed it.  It was one of the best thrills I've had in all the time since I've migrated, maybe in all my life.  And now I'm going do it again, but this time alone.  And this time outside of the country, not just the sister isle.  And I am cautious to handle myself wisely, but I'm not fearful.   I am quite excited!  And happy that my life has graduated to this stage.  I am so looking forward to it.  I've readied my outfit, my finances, everything that I believe I just might need and everything I would want to carry.  I've researched online about the island as well, so I feel fully prepared.  But really you never know and I believe I am prepared just in case their may be a hiccup or two.  So Montserrat here I come!
