RE: Happy Holi from @SirCork on location, in Kolkata India!

in #travel7 years ago

What an amazing opportunity...to travel the world and meet people from different cultures and walks of life. Yeah, that guy in the back looks pissed though! Too funny! Looking forward to seeing more! :)

Sort:  

He cracks me up, and for sure, the gravity and blessing to be able to assemble this trip on my tiny budget are beyond my own comprehension in fact. But here I am, proving ANYone can do ANY thing, eventually. A year or so ago I was unemployed and broke for nearly a year. Before that in 2014, my home burned to the ground and I lost literally everything I owned. And now? Well. Wow. Whoever is in charge "up there" - be it God, or any other deity or energy one might choose to attribute all this too, is surely cradling me in their favor. I am looking forward to posting more, I just need to get settled somewhere without the literal entire world distracting me and get busy writing it all down!

It's amazing what a year can do!! Have you written about your prior state? A little over a year ago I was homeless and living in a shelter with my kids, and I never thought my life would turn back around, but it did! Blessings to you @sircork!! Keep up the great work!! :)

No I don't directly write about it, because in large part it was a choice and not typical of my life in a more meta way, which has mostly been pretty fortunate. That IS a long story, but I have nothing to report that I didn't decide to do, so I can't really complain.
