Welcome

Formerly titled "The Traveling Job Coach" and then "The Traveling Athletic Director," this blog is
for me and my memory because it's not very good.
My memory is not very good. See what I mean?

This blog has also morphed into a place for me to share my thoughts on life and how I see the world.
These thoughts often bubble to the surface during my travels.

I don't concern myself with grammar. This is simply a place for me to record my memories,
thoughts and feelings while I travel.

I started this blog before my trip to Europe July 10-24, 2009. Email me at brosefield@gmail.com
whilst I'm traveling or comment on posts here if you see something that
strikes your fancy.

Yes, I used the words whilst and fancy in the same paragraph.

Thanks Jackie

This is a travel blog.  I'd like to be clear about that.  But maybe not the type of travel blog you are accustomed to reading.  Oh, you don't read travel blogs?  Fair enough.  Thank you for your honesty.  This is more of a travel blog about being human.  The ups.  Downs.  Everything in between.  

July 2019 was the last time I've been overseas.  I went to Japan.  You can read about it through links on this blog if you'd like.  It was an epic trip that brought me to meeting epic people all over that island.  

And soon I'll be going overseas again.  And I am thinking of trying something new this time.  I would like to write here as per usual, however I may abstain from talking about the places I see, the people I meet, the things I do.  I mean, maybe I will talk about those things from time to time because it really does help my memory.  

This time I think I may focus even more on what I'm learning.  What I'm seeing.  What I'm believing about myself.  What I'm believing about the world. 

Like tonight. I want to talk about what I saw tonight. Tonight I was reminded of the power of love.  Love of others.  Love from others.  Love of self.  The type of love that says, "Hey. I love you.  You don't have to do anything except be you and I love you."  I experienced that again.  I experienced that of myself and from others.  And I experienced that while watching others.  Watching others break down walls and show each other mercy.  Mercy like, "Gosh I'm tired of fighting. I love you." 

And it has me jazzed up about life.  Love, y'all. Jackie Dickinson is right.  It's what the world needs now y'all.  Give to yourself.  Give it others. 

Talk to you around the world.  Maybe.
