Sitting here at my property, Haven, in early September 2014 on the cusp of leaving for a winter in Mexico, it is time to concede that my old Travels With Miranda blog is no longer relevant.
My life has grown to encompass so much more than the RV lifestyle. While I am still living full-time in a motorhome, I am not traveling in it, and it is parked on my very own little prairie homestead. I am surprised to have taken root in this place, I who wanted so badly to know only the uncertainty of the open road. But now I know that the very thing I feared is the only thing that could truly set me free.
This new blog will be more all encompassing of this new direction that my life is taking and will be one where anything I wish to share will be relevant. I look forward to chronicling not only my Mexican winter, but also the cabin building on my property, the things I will see in between, and the more mundane moments of life that make the extraordinary sparkle all the more.
It is not a new life that is beginning with this new blog, but one that continues to evolve and improve. I hope that my Travels With Miranda readers will follow me here even if RVing is no longer the focus of my life. As it turned out, RVing was a bridge more than a landing place, a way to expand my horizons, make me reexamine priorities, and determine exactly how it is I am meant to live if I am to feel whole, happy, secure, and fulfilled.
You know I’ll always be with you.
HUGS!
I’m pretty sure we’re stuck with each other for life! *HUGS*
We better be! 🙂
(BTW, since there isn’t a ‘let me know about other comments’ checkbox when we now leave a comment, how can I/we get notifications of fellow commenters (including yourself :D)?)
Bast, I need a ‘request a feature’ page, don’t I?! 🙂 I’m Working on the subscribe to comments thing this morning.
Thank you!!
I’ll be coming along too.
Elaine, good to see you here!
Well said, Rae. I enjoy reading anything you write,
Susan, thank you for your kind words.
I will continue to follow you. Having retired from RVing (by force) nearly five years ago I also enjoy reading about other aspects of your life. You have a great writing style which I enjoy.
Sandra, thanks for following!
I am glad that you have gone back to a blog. I do not like Facebook and never commented there. I’m looking forward to reading about your trip south and about your winter home in Mexico. I love Baja but it does not have very good Internet service.
Have a good vacation and visit with Mama.
Ed, glad to see you here!
I’ll be on mainland MX and hope it will have decent internet! Considering my slow poke service at Haven, my expectations aren’t high. 🙂
I’m with you all the way! Love reading about what you are doing and looking at the pix of your travels!
Thanks, mom! Glad to see you here! *HUGS*
(for the curious: Bast’s mom and my adopted mom, not my mother 🙂 )
Aloha Rae! I’ll still be along for the ride. Travel safe.
Aloha, Jack!
You know I will follow your exploits. Safe travels my friend.
Caroline, good to see you here!
Still enjoying you on Facebook and now on your new blog.
Have a fun time down here in this neck of the woods with your family.
Good Luck on your next adventure in Mexico!
Thanks, Norma, and welcome!
