My journey to Azerbaijan is less than a week away and the emotions are running wild. It's been a crazy, but incredible few weeks visiting with friends and family. As they travel from across the country and across 2 states, CA and NV, I realize how lucky I am to have such a wonderful and supportive family and network of friends. The other day an overwhelming feeling of being alone rushed over me. The more time I spent with family and friends the more alone I felt in my journey. I've wanted to hold them close and not let go. Well, I guess it is my journey, so I have to let go at some point! People keep asking me if I'm afraid. Fear isn't an emotion I've been feeling. I've felt excitement, anxiety, freedom, loneliness, empowerment and an unexplainable lightness of being, as well as feeling extremely overwhelmed.
