I am learning how to fly

Well I got pushed out of the nest and actually I love it. I’m not flying yet but I am flapping my wings very hard and I haven’t hit the ground yet. I still have a lot of anxiety but the confidence is building.  I am learning all the little ins and outs of the travel business, a lot of rules and regulations but I’m sure they will become second nature as time goes on.  I think I have decided to specialize in Europe and the Mediterranean.   I am going on a trip to France in October, when I finished my France Expert and South of France Expert classes they gave me the opportunity to go over and see firsthand what I was learning about.  So now I am brushing up on my French, it’s been a long time since I use the French I learned in high school.  I am going to be taking classes on river cruising through Europe and classes on the different cultures and countries, so that I will someday be able to answer questions to any travel in Europe.  
Being my own boss has also allowed me time to start exercising and concentrate more on my health.  It’s amazing how those things get passed over when you are working 9 to 5 or longer.  So all in all I think this has been a very good move for me.
I am also becoming more educated in social marketing. So you will be seeing a lot more writing on my blog and info for you to follow on Facebook, Pinterest, Linkedin and twitter.  If you haven’t received my newsletter let me know so that I can get you on my mailing list, it provides a lot of destination information, promotions and travel tips that I am learning. 
I have to thank my family and friends for giving me the strength to make this move, as it is helping me grow in so many ways.  They have empowered me to pursue this dream I never thought I could reach. I hope that I can motivate everyone, no matter where you are in your life, whatever your age, whatever your economic situation is to fly. Find your passion, follow your heart and have faith in the good Lord.   
Thank you for following me, and don’t forget to comment.  I will try not to disappoint you all.
Happy and Safe Travels
God Bless
