Today is the six month mark countdown kicking off the day I will meet Mt. Kilimanjaro. I am nervous. (my writing shows this) Through out this blog you will get to know me, my life, and what my life has yet to entail that I am planning. By the title of the blog spot "Redemption Climb," it is a bit obvious that I will be climbing for something important. Throughout this blog the real reasons will spill out. Patience with reading. Anticipation with creation.
Lately I've just been talking about the climb a lot. (writing has not been easy, more creative than usual) I've made a few phone calls to charities, completed research, and have been mentally preparing myself for the journey to do something physically that will be difficult.
I ran a 5k Irish Jog on Wednesday for St. Patti's day with a time of 28:36. My glut esmaxi mas is tender. I've figured out my right cheek slightly flexes more than my left. (odd) May the picture with the firework symbolize the bang that has happened today in my mind. BOOM, let the countdown begin.
Being a writer, I'm trying to accomplish writing my first children's book in the Climb's preparing process, and talking to my mom she mentioned I begin a blog about this adventure to journal the process as I slowly make my way through the idea. Emotion upon completion, preperation, and exuberance.
The idea began between three friends. Inspired mainly by one friend, Ann Javen who originates from Kenya, Africa, and has always wanted to climb the mountain herself. Reinforced by Faye Wilson from Scotland, UK, and yours truly Brittany Golightly from Wisconsin, USA. We three girls got together by chance on a small island we all decided to live on at the same time. Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands is still home for both Ann and I, however Faye made a dive journey first to Honduras, and now is living back in Scotland still in dive school. Ann is also a diver, and I am currently a professional role model. (formally known as the #1 nanny in the world!)

For my first entry I have written a brief outline of who's involved, what's being done, where's included, when it's taking place, and the why will be in due "blog process time." I will be including pictures with every entry as I see them relevant to my motivation, interests, and meaning behind all of this.
Thank you for reading.
Looking up
Looking forward
Looking towards the climb.
Brittany, I've only known you for a short time.
ReplyDeleteBut in that time, our friendship has grown. When I first met you, it didn't take long to learn that you are a very caring, and trusting person.
You have touched my life, and I'm truly blessed to have you as a friend. I know that you will accomplish the goals you set your mind to. You have the inspiration, willingness, desire, and determination to do what it takes. I support you in your climbing adventure, and wish you the very best. May God be with you, bless you, and guide you in every step of the way.
Always,
Larry
