“Someday Traveler”

I have the heart of an adventurer. I’d love to travel to all of the different continents of the world, learn a new language like Mandarin (I’ve actually been learning a little with Rosetta Stone!), and visit the wonders of the world. While I may have the heart of an adventurer, I’ve always been grounded to be more of a “Someday Traveler”.

I’m an introverted cat person. I dream of travel. I enjoy photography and I think I’m pretty good with a camera, or so I’ve been told. My kids are all getting older. I’ve got some know how at this point… I’ve been to college. I was a teacher for a while. I homeschool my son. I even worked for the post office for a couple of years. I’ve had a crazy, busy life so far. I wanted to do something that I LOVE for a while… or maybe even for the rest of my life! So, here I am.

I’m slowly learning to enjoy my new life. I’m surrounded by my beautiful Bengal cats… I’m a photographer. I’m an editor. I’m a small hobby business owner. I have my own website. I set my own schedule. I’m (still) a homeschool mom. I have a lot of responsibilities. But, yeah!… I’m living my best life!

I do sometimes get to make special road trips. Last year, my son and I went to Chicago, Illinois, to Richmond, Virginia, and to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We enjoy traveling to cat shows and delivering kittens to their new families in other states. We also travel to pick up new kittens for our breeding program.

I refer to myself as a “Someday Traveler” because in this life we will always have things to do, places to go, and people to see. Reality is that we’ll never, no matter how many days we have left, be able to do all of the things we want to do before our time is up. There will never be enough time in one lifetime. One day, when my time is up…someday, when I travel beyond this life into the next… I just want to know that I did well. Echoes Bengals is part of my story, my legacy.
