I've had a synchronicity filled day - the kind that happens when you slow down enough to listen. The symbols and signals became really loud on the "Arrow Anniversary Walk", BOOM - today marks 22 years for me in Queenstown, I'd forgotten.. Today is also the first day I went for a run again, since this time last year, determined to start my Rickshaw Run training, also the day a fellow rickshaw runner posted a great article about culture and why we travel on Farcebook. It's a good read.
http://elitedaily.com/life/culture/true-travelling-blues/812862/ Fast forward to a random phone call this evening from a journalist; seems like a nice lady, I checked Linked In to make sure I wasn't being had by a sophisticated computer hacker acting as if they want to share our Rickshaw Run story. Throw back Monday to "Scott" of the January Run launch party New Years Eve Jaisalmer India 2014 , and his great cover story of being journalist for Playboy covering the run. Also telling the truth. The Rickshaw Run flow has begun - prompting me to update our website links and charity donation pages because our intention is out there. We are going back to give it another go. To raise more money for our charities Live More Awesome and Cool Earth this time to drive a Rickshaw across the top of India in April 2015. Like our Facebook page to follow the journey. read the blogs below to hear about the last one or find a link to Scott's report. https://www.facebook.com/RickshawRunGoodbyeCurryPie On the last day of the Run I cried at that last Indian sunrise, I cried many times that day right up to our finish #69 last across the line. I've been unable to ditch the chai masala and crave Dahl when ever I'm feeling flat, I'm in search of a yoga guru - turns out this journo may just know a bit about that. They say you never recover from a visit to India the longing to go back is incessant. I've been as LM say " Doing the f'n work" - on the D.A.R.E. program and have "finished" the book manuscript ready for publishing this month. It's a bit like the run, a lesson in determining your end point - how do you know when you are really done? When are actually at the end of a journey? How often are you back at the start aware that you haven't even started? Have you done the work? Have you negotiated the journey with any style? Where's the proof in the pudding, the signed off ending? This year has been hard we've lost family and friends. The planet's been scared and become more terror filled, to leave the shores of NZ and our children again next Easter seems more foolish than it did last Christmas. There are couple of scary states - in India and our heads. All the more reason to go again. Our charities both embody one guiding principle. Living matters. Live More Awesome www.livemoreawesome.com support mental well being in NZ and encourage epic events as a way to rise the profile of how we can tackle depression. Cool Earth saves rain forests and in doing so create a better world where we can all live more sustainably. I'll post when the donate links are active again and let you know our fund raising epic events between now and the next Run. Jaisalmer to Shillong across the top of India in 11 days April 2015. Go on I D.A.R.E. ya, do something epic.
