Dear Readers,

One year ago today, I began startsolo (with this same image) hoping to inspire others with tales of my travels, thoughts, and encounters.

Thank you for your dedicated readership! Your comments have been invaluable and most appreciated.

Writing this blog has been an extraordinary experience for me. I have learned a great deal, particularly that there is so much more to learn.

In the days ahead I look forward to sharing my experiences. I will write as often as I can.

I hope you will continue to join me.

If you have not already done so, please consider subscribing to learn of updates. (To all my subscribers: A heartfelt thank you!!)

With the warmest of wishes,

Startsolo
