I set off for Cuba back in November 2024 and wanted to try my hand at drawing with markers all because it is simple enough, easy to pack, no time-consuming setup, no cleaning of brushes, etc. My desire to have easy access in creating at the shoreline. Delighted by the experience and ease of this new medium.

I who thrive in positions of the unknown and the learning that unfolds!

The idea of taking risk has changed greatly for me now disabled. I mention this as most like to ask how I find travelling now and am I not afraid of what could go wrong. First let me say, I have no hesitation in asking for the assistance and support I require. Clarity of my reality, with extremely low capacity, numerous considerations of how each day is different with how my body functions and keeping these factors real is critical!  The strategies are a family affair as our daughters and dear friends provide input from their experience assisting me in varied situations. When all boxes have been checked off with planning, I then organize and put in place. Moving about the world comforts me. It allows me to meet and greet those whose paths I cross if only for a fleeting moment. Connections forged along with the magnificence of the natural landscape that is forever inprinted in my Being.

And this my friends, provides a whole lot of hope - of goodness going on in the world - KIM
