Ok, it is set. the official start date of my little adventure is October 1 2010
my heart skipped a beat when I finally made it official. "what in the name of socks are you doing, you crazy woman?" was one of the first things to pop into my head (language may have varied a little)
I was talking to a friend of mine today and she said it best. "Crazy, Scary and awesome all at the same time" yes, yes it is. I am not going to lie and say I am not a little freaked out about it. Honestly the closer we get to october the closer I may be to accidently pooping in my pants :-) Never say never!
I have had a lot of people in the last few days ask me to elaborate a little more on why I have decided to do this and what brought the thought on in the first place and why I have chosen now to do it. So, I will put my thoughts together tonight and try to come up with something somewhat intelligent to post later this weekend.

Who,What,When,Where and How come!
WHO: Me Margo Nelson
WHAT: I am setting out on a venture. A wild and crazy idea but I am excited to get it started.
WHEN: I plan on setting off just as soon as I sell my stuff and pick up my passport.
WHERE: This trip will be starting in Edmonton Alberta. I will be heading east through Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and perhaps New Brunswick. Once I am east in Canada I will be heading south across the border to the United States. I hope to go through Main, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington then back over the border to Vancouver British Columbia, where this idea came to me in the first place
HOW COME: I would like to prove to others, but mostly myself that there is still a kindness in the world. I want to show that Canadians and Americans can come together. They can put aside their differences and work together to save this world that is as we can all see; falling apart all around us. I want to prove to anyone in this world that has ever felt alone, or useless or ever felt like they were just one person and couldn't make a difference even if they wanted to; that one person is only one person until they share their ideas with another. There is no such thing as alone!
Side note: I am selling everthing I own to pay off credit cards and loans. what I have left I will pack in my car with my massage table, painting supplies and puppy dog and head out on the highway. I have no time line for this trip and I have no solid route planned out. I will go where the kindess takes me. In exchange for food, shelter and gas money I will paint (houses,rooms, pictures) ok maybe not pictures :-) I am a Certified Massage Therapist so I will also exchange massages. (the legal kind) of course! I will accept donations of anykind. However, any cash donations that I do not spend on food, shelter or fuel will be donated to three different charities. 1. Lupus Foundation 2. SPCA and ASPCA 3. Women's cancer research
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this. I look forward to hearing from each and every person that makes the effort to check out my blog.
