When I first started planning this trip I was originally set up to travel through Canada and the United Sates on the kindness of strangers. However, I have quickly come to realize that the kindness part was simply the spark. The kindling if you will, for something so much more intricate. I have been so pleased with the comments made on the blog so far and the anonymous emails I have received. Both of which have transformed this adventure into something even I could have never imagined.
When I sat down to write my “No Shoulds” post, I was completely unaware of the impact that something like that could have. That particular post has created its own little subsection to this tour and has already changed the complexity of the message I was hoping to send and as you all know, I haven’t even left yet.
I am excited about this opportunity to add some different layers to my blog posts. As most of you already know, I will be starting to post my video diaries on YouTube in a few days. I have asked a friend of mine to help me come up with some important questions to ask people throughout my travels. I really want to get an everyman view about life and what makes it worthwhile. I want to ask questions about how we as a society can make life better, not only for ourselves but for each other. I want to step outside the realm of politics and find out what real people really think. Yes, I say real people because I am not convinced that politicians are in fact real people. (tee hee)
I would like to get as many of you involved in this adventure as I can, and get as much feedback as you are all willing to give. So anyway, here is my challenge to all those in this small yet significant blog world so far... Send me your questions. Send me something you have always wanted to know about the general public but were too afraid to ask. :-) Send me your comments and feelings on what makes you happy, sad, glad, mad.....well you get the picture. Most of all, send me your ideas of what you think would make a great segment for my first few video diaries.
Feel free to send them to my email if you would prefer to remain anonymous. I look forward to reading your ideas and I am excited to get started on the next phase of this adventure. I hope to see as many of you as I can next Saturday September 25th for those of you who can’t make it but wanted to be there, thank you so much for your support through your letters and emails.
See you all soon
Margo
