~ Their Story is My Story… and Now the Story Will Have a New Chapter ~
In late September 2020, I shared that I hadn’t been doing a lot of posting except for a few posts about missing Italia and about the “pause” on travel while we waited to travel again…
However, behind the scenes, there has been a LOT more going on and some VERY BIG decisions brewing…seismic life-changing decisions!
Before “revealing” those decisions, I felt it was important to share my “back story”, a prologue about how I got from then to now. That back story has actually be written and documented right here over the years but I wanted to bring it all together. So I dipped into my blog archives, did some editing and tweaking and, ecco, Roots Redux was created.
I published Roots Redux in five (5) parts over a week. It’s a chronological re-sharing of my “roots” story – past to present. Maybe my story mirrors yours in some way? After all, we all have ancestors who came from “somewhere” and here we are!
I do know that without their journey, I have no story…”Their Story is My Story”…
