Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Can you walk and talk?
Silly, isn’t it? Can you walk and chew gum at the same time? It’s a tough economic time, a troubled time, an uncertain time. Perhaps the most difficult time of our entire life.
This begs the real question because, personally, it seems excruciatingly rare.
Can you walk the talk?
Sailing around the world, solo, is a daring adventure.
To do it as a sixteen female is a whole other level of impossible.
Well, it’s been done before. And it was in the process of being done again, until yesterday.
Abby Sunderland, 16, and her boat, Wild Eyes, have a story to tell – and a website and blog to tell it. Reading about it, to me, is simply like putting another log on the fire.
