I too hate winters!! I live in the Midwest, Kansas City, MO. Cold winters hot as hell summers.

Today is my last day of school and tomorrow my wife and I are going to Curacao for week. I too am looking forward to writing more. I really think a good balance is important. Even though the last few years (schedule wise) have been the busiest of my life, they sure don’t feel like it. I’m living more in the moment than ever and am growing spiritually daily!

I have the bug, that's for sure. I feel a very strong need to explore the earth's surface, and get to know the people on it. I'll take you all with me, virtually. Vero, thank you and enjoy your second summer! Thanks, Smarti. I have the bug, that’s for sure. I feel a very strong need to explore the earth’s surface, and get to know the people on it.

It's sneaky and it's chronic. Once you have it you can't get rid of it. So you might as well taylor your aptitudes and wants and needs around it. For it will forever drive you to new sunrises, around interesting masses of humanity, and into its web. I wish you good travels, interesting companionships, and may you be into the next parrallel before writer's block ever figures out where you are. Many people are cheering you on from a thousand points of light. Via con Dios! Wonderlust! It’s sneaky and it’s chronic. Once you have it you can’t get rid of it.

Thanks. Lori -- Hi Lori, and thank you. I'm slowly getting the hang of the writing process, but I think the most important part is to just create a little bit of space between writing content and posting it. Until now I've been getting it up just in time. I'll never get articles done in an hour, but I suspect I'll get a lot faster as I get more experience behind me. I'm still a real noob when it comes to writing. I wrote my first article seventy-five days ago. Always good to hear from you :) Laurie — I’m pleased to have such gracious people as an audience to my adventure. Thanks.

The commitment you've made to your vision is just the inspiration I needed today. (Especially since I've gathered that you and I have a lot in common). Thanks for what you do. I'm looking forward to reading about your upcoming adventures! Also, regarding people who write posts in an hour: I think that's great, and I don't mean to take anything away from them. But most articles that involve research and undergo proper editing take far longer than that--which is why your content is so amazing :) Lori <abbr><em>Lori’s last blog post..<a href="http://seeinggood.com/inspiring-video-find-your-inner-entrepreneur-and-change-the-world/" rel="nofollow">Inspiring Video: Find Your Inner Entrepreneur and Change the World</a></abbr></em> Hi David~

The Amazon is definitely on my list, but it won't be my destination this time around. I'm probably going to have to find a KB down there, I'm not going to take one. Or maybe I'll do Naked Warrior only. Suzen -- Hi Suzen, and thank you! Welcome to Raptitude, and its cheering fan base :) Hope to hear more from you. Nadia -- This is something I could not have done a few years ago. I didn't have the discipline to save, or the courage to leave my career and make a life somewhere else. I know there will be some challenging parts, but that's part of the reason for going. One day I will get to India, too. Tim -- Yeah I am pleased with my decision to cut back to two main articles a week. It will give me a chance to really refine them and get ahead a bit. It's more important for me to stay consistent and good than to post more often. I envy people who can write posts in an hour, but at this point I'm not even close to that. Ann Elise -- You're right, why choose? I've got a growing list of destinations I am determined to make it to, but I still have to choose one at a time. I'm happy to be taking you all with me, in a virtual sense :) Josh — Hey Josh, sounds good. The Amazon is definitely on my list, but it won’t be my destination this time around.

I can really identify with your blog challenges - I am a pretty new blogger and have put a great deal of thought into what I write and my blog direction and design. I've had plenty of conversations with friends and colleages who want to create a Website/blog/business, but it has only been until recently (now that I am in transition between jobs) that I realize just how difficult this is. Best wishes on your new direction - I'm very curious to find out where you are headed. <abbr><em>Tim’s last blog post..<a href="http://360self.blogspot.com/2009/05/kim-and-jason-escaping-adulthood.html" rel="nofollow">Kim and Jason Escaping Adulthood</a></abbr></em> Hey David:
