As part of its popular Notes from the Road series, I recently wrote a piece, Notes on My Polish Informant, for the Traveler’s Notebook about the very beginning of my love affair with Poland. A country that blew away all my expectations with the warmest of souls. Souls that suffered so much and know what it is to be persecuted.
Puts things in perspective.
Oh….on another note, the official announcement was sent to the crew today.
About my decision. The transition. The new life.
Emotions are mixed. They range from relief to sheer terror. After all, I got degrees to do this. Been doing this since I was nineteen. This corporate life. The daily challenge it brings which I actually love.
The right side of my brain finally won. Once October rolls out, a free agent emerges, open to more assignments and more travel. More photojournalism. Free to pursue all those pesky side passions too.
Free to be the creative me to its fullest.
