Celebrating the 4th of July with a Memory to Last a Lifetime

In 2007 I said to my husband, “Where would you like to go in the United States that you haven’t been?” Without hesitation he said, “Alaska!” So we took our companion, Bodhi, and off we went in our car…taking the “roads less traveled” instead of the super-highways. Ten days later we arrived at the border of Alaska and the Yukon having immersed ourselves in a number of hot springs along the way. For three weeks we disconnected from our routine. We slept until we woke (which was early with the sun up most of the time) and went to bed when we felt like it. I learned to trust…to let go of structure…and other things I had come to count on. I even trusted that clients could reach me in far off places…that I would be in “right place at the right time” when they called. (I was in Anchorage when two called with urgent matters!).
