oh the places they'll go

I've been writing a lot recently about the abundance of blogs drifting through the worldwide web, but what can I say, the adventures of others that one can follow through the written word catches my thirst for excitement and innovative knowledge. 

Just like the magazine frontier, name a topic and you will find several different blogs cataloguing each detail from every corner of the Earth. Mine would be listed under: only fun to read if you know me. Oh well.

Anyway, this brings us to www.lostgirlsworld.blogspot.com

This particular online journal shadows an incredible trio of women who decided one day, amidst a Manhattan snow storm, to leave their loved ones and even more beloved jobs behind to travel 35,000 miles in the course of one year. 

35,000 miles. Around the globe and back again.

Their expedition began back in June, 2006 so this 365-day marker has long come and gone but their blog has steadfastly remained and is now home to other women around the blue-and-green planet we call home. 

Other women, akin to these three pilots of the get-up-and-go manuever, have blogged from all over the world; crediting the Lost Girls blog as their inspiration to follow a lifelong dream to: just travel, quit a job that doesn't engage the mind, go to a far-reaching place of the world and just be there; no judgements.

Jen, one of the initial Lost Girls, wrote:

"One of the things I love most about being a Lost Girl is receiving emails from other fearless ladies who have dared to get 'lost' themselves and are eager to share their stories."

The blog is now a visionary of people who are daring to do the same and it's inspiration to approach your life; ready for awakening and arousal. 

There is encouragement to follow your muse; your revelations; your sparks; your whims. 

Stimulate your senses, forge your own way and have the incentive and insight to do with your life what you want.

Still unsure of what to do when I graduate, this is an increasingly attractive prospect. Minus my lack of funds. 

....To leave this on a SUPER exciting note, the words: huggie (as in a hug), sexellent (sexy and excellent) and fabletastic (fabulous and fantastic) have been added to the 2009 Merriam-Webster Dictionary. 

I will keep researching what fun words have been stockpiled in the dictionary for this fiscal year and report back later. Maybe I'll even include a picture of my dictionary; not to be confused with my moleskin.
