Recalibration

The sudden death of my sister in a fatal car accident on February 14, 2018 has left a big hole in my heart.  She was very excited about this adventure I am going on and we had many long talks about where to go and what I might see and the people I will meet.  We had conversations about how the media in general and social media, in particular, is so full of negativity and divisiveness.  One of the things I look forward to most on this journey is discovering that in most cases, if you take the politics, religion and geography out of conversations, people are just people.   I am so dreadfully disappointed that she will not be able to follow me for the portion of our trip we had planned, but will certainly take her along in my heart.
