Living. With. No. Regrets.

Living - Active or thriving
With - Accompanied by
No - Not any 
Regrets - Feelings of sorrow or remorse for (an act, fault, disappointment, etc.)

About six months ago, those words began to challenge my soul. What started as a gentle whisper has crescendoed into a compelling shout, inviting me on an adventure of discovery... a journey of living with no regrets. I am accepting the invitation.


As with any journey, there are questions. Where will it begin? Who will be my traveling companions? What do I need to pack? Will I need travel insurance? When will I arrive?


My journey begins with this commitment to pursue a year of living with no regrets, and to write about the adventure. My traveling companions will be the characters, conflicts, and resolutions revealed in the process. I will pack a seeking heart, listening ears, discerning eyes, a sense of humor, and feet ready to walk the distance. No travel insurance will be necessary, as this negates the anticipation of a successful journey.

Finally, as to when I will "arrive" - I pray that I never do - and if I reach a place where I think I have - I suspect I got lost somewhere along the way.
