Gypsy blood: Post 1

Gyp•sy- n. “One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life”

     My mother always said that I have gypsy blood running through our veins. Rather than a true ancestry, “gypsy-ness” is a trait passed on by my family.

     My family members are scattered throughout the United States, relocating frequently. Wanderlust? Definitely. We will never fully unpack our bags before it is time to leave again. Travel is our lifeblood.

     The world has the capacity to open the eyes, expand the heart, and cleanse the soul. We can only hope to gain wisdom if we are constantly exposed to new experiences. These discoveries are like roots; they nourish and stabilize us. When challenges arise, we will be ready to face them.

     Guided by distinct, unique visions, gypsies fearless reject cultural norms. It takes courage to be different. However, variety is what makes the world vibrant and beautiful.
