Time is what prevents everything from happening at once. – John Archibald Wheeler.


Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.  ~~Haruki Murakami

To be clear, this is not a quote that describes my life.  For the most part, I grab the possibilities as they fly by and I have very few regrets.  I accept what I cannot do, because I understand I cannot do everything and really try hard to do everything that I can do to the best of my ability.
It is hard to believe that I have been in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea for a month.  Time is moving very quickly.  I do love it when time goes fast, even when I am trying to slow down.  I have a feeling though that as fast as my time goes here, at times it will feel like time is passing very, very slowly. It’s a small island with not a lot of modern amenities.
However, that does not bother me and as a matter of fact, I believe that this will give me some great opportunities to do some of the things that I keep putting off.  Art, blogging, writing, cooking, and working on personal health goals always seem to take a back seat to other more important (less important) work taskings and life in general.  I am super, excited about the new possibilities that will no longer fly by but start drifting by slow enough for me to catch them.  To catch them, ponder them, work on them, and re-imagine them.
Round the world I go as my world goes round.. round.. round… still a little girl in a big, big world.. that seems to get just a little smaller each year.
Little tour round my neighborhood.  Hope you enjoy!

Travel Theme More signs – Some of my favorites


“What’s that supposed to mean? A wolf’s head on a stick. Big wolf barbecue tonight? Bring your own wolf?”
― Eoin ColferArtemis Fowl: The Lost Colony

Ok.. I don’t usually like repeats but was inspired by Untitled Adventures Blog that focused her Wrong Theme on Konglish.  I love signs.  I think I said that in my own Travel Theme Signs blog.  I’m going to say it again.  Signs are cool.  They can give direction, a warning, inspiration, a quick laugh or simply cause confusion.  My favorite signs are literal translations in other countries, but don’t be mistaken we in the U.S. have our own goofy, inspirational and hard to understand signs as well.  Here are a few of my favorite signs from around the globe.. Enjoy.

“I come to a red light, tempted to go through it, then stop once I see a billboard sign that I don’t remember seeing and I look up at it. All it says is ‘Disappear Here’ and even though it’s probably an ad for some resort, it still freaks me out a little and I step on the gas really hard and the car screeches as I leave the light.”
