Reflections on my journey

For my last blog about London I would like to take some time to explain the title of my blog.  It is an excerpt from Margery Williams' book The Velveteen Rabbit.  It's the part of the book when the Skin Horse is explaining to the Rabbit how you become real when a child truly loves you and that this transition to becoming real doesn't happen all at once, but only after a long transition by very resilient toys.  This blog title was suggest to me by a friend.  I chose this quote because I felt that it would represent my journey well.  I knew that these new experiences and perspectives would change me and broaden my own views.  It would be a slow transition, but I would become more than I was at that moment through this experience.  I feel that I have changed on this trip.  I have learned so much from my travels and from my travel companions and I have learned so much about myself.  I know that my transition is not complete and will continue for a lifetime. I hope to continue traveling, learning, and becoming as my blog title suggests.

Lately I have been feeling like I need a change.  I have been looking to relocate in hope that this change will be beneficial.  After visiting such an incredible place as London, I know that relocating is the right decision.  I am not sure if London is where I will end up, but it is certainly on my list of places I would like to live.  My journey to becoming is nowhere near done and I think that this trip was the perfect beginning to my next chapter.  I am looking forward to what the rest of my life's journey holds for me. Thank you for those who have and will help me along on my journey, I hope that I will be able to do the same for you; and thank you all for reading.
