When you're going through something that can take years to process, it's wonderful to have days or even moments where you see the progress of learning, or beauty of the lesson. Today was such a day. I walked the Coast Trail and had a great sense of peace. I remember in 2006 when I came to Alaska on my own and was so frightened. I walked the Coast Trail alone then and I suffered so. I was dealing with the death of my sister and father, I was slowly leaving my marriage and my job, but I didn't know where to begin, or what to do. My answer at the time was, come to Alaska. It's been a long, long journey and although I still have far to go, I'm happy. The tiniest, most wondrous epiphany brings with it the deepest breath of relief and just letting go. Hey, I think I will celebrate and have a drink with my favorite bartender Hilary Pattison.
