New Season, New 'Journ-e's: An Introduction.

Welcome Pilgrims,

Happy September Equinox! For those of you in the Northern hemisphere, it is autumn a time of harvest. It's time to reap the benefits of your labor. For those of you in the Southern hemisphere, spring is here, a time of new beginnings. Which ever season you are in, I hope that you make the most of it.

While I've been away, I celebrated a birthday. Another year older and (hopefully) wiser. Historically, I'm not the best at planning my own birthday festivities. I'm not especially known for the turn up, and vacation approval used to be hard to come by (as most Americans know). It's doubly a shame, as my birthday often falls on Labor Day weekend back home. This year, I turned a new leaf. This year I decided to do it big. All season long...Virgo season, that is.

In the spirit of self-care... This birthday, I was unapologetic about celebrating myself. I spent most of Virgo Season travelling. I mean, why not? I work hard, who knows how many more opportunities like this will come around? I know most of you think I travel all the time anyway, but I disagree. I live abroad. I go to work, I run errands, I clean my apartment. This trip marked the first time I've left Melbourne since my arrival to Australia in April.

This series will be on my actual journeys. I call them 'Journ-e's . Get it? They are journal entries...about my journeys. I like puns and double entendres, so sue me.

Good Luck on your journeys pilgrims,

Pella
