Thoughts From My Van

Part of Vandwelling

There's an entire world out there

To venture into and to discover

Also

You discover you. Who you really are without all the distractions and busyness that obscures your ability to discover who you are, what you want, what is important to you.

Learning to slow down and savor. To take time to really see what is around you, a chance to choose your own path rather than just follow what everyone else does. 

To be a vandweller is to think and make your own decisions and your own choices. 

It's not running away. It's not rebellion for the sake of rebellion. It's a conscious informed choice. It's going towards rather than away from.

Today I met one of my blog followers

We know that i rarely publish a photo of myself,  and i don't do publicity tours ever.  

Today i got to meet a reader who had no idea i was me.  And i so enjoyed chatting with her and her husband. 

She's originally from Hawaii (I've lived on Oahu), and he's originally from my home state of Michigan. 

We chatted of simple ordinary things,  travel,  vehicles,  cancer , my dog Kira as well. 

In other words,  she's exactly a normal person like i am, and to hear her pleasure at discussing my way of writing and the ordinary everyday things i write about is exactly what i strove to do when i started writing.  I feel like i won the lottery today.  And made a new friend

We enjoyed a good laugh at how easily I blend in to places so that the star is the place,  not my ego. 

I never planned on being read so widely nor my name known,  i just wanted to write and share the beauty and the wonder of everyday places, not just the tourist spots.  

See you down the road

Just Lou (and Kira too)
