Jillian’s July1 Post: Discover Your Paths to Abundance

Imagine imbuing your days, your weeks, with passion. Another writer I loved tracking for Change Your Life Through Travel was Henry Miller. Miller found sex, travel, conversation and letter-writing as paths to passion. What are yours?

Before you set out on your next trip, decide one area of your life where you’d like more abundance: more richness, bounty. Is it the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual? Maybe you want richer relationships. Or more challenging work, or to learn a new skill that will bring you pleasure.

Your travels can offer opportunities to explore alternate vocations and avocations. Be a grape picker, shadow an airplane pilot, tag along with a brewmaster, or a TV producer. Sometimes you can create these experiences on your own or you can travel with a company that organizes such experiences.

Whatever you want, in whichever quadrant of your life, declare it clearly and write it down. Then, on the road, pay attention. Employ your imagination. Signs are everywhere. When you have a focus you look at people, places and events through a new lens. Enjoy this invitation to open yourself to new ways of seeing, new ways of being.

How will you see -- and be -- different this summer?
