| My Love Affair with the Road |
| Written by Skip WILLIAMS | |
| I have always enjoyed a good road trip; there is something about it that makes me realize what a small part of God’s amazing creation I really am. While at the same time there is a certain explorer or even conqueror aspect to the travel as well.
But the motorcycle gives yet another dimension to the “spiritual” aspect of the road trip for me… In addition to having the sights, I have the sounds, the smells, and the elements which provide me with an even more satisfying or complete experience. Sometimes I feel a flying sensation as I speed down a lonesome road, and in my mind’s eye I see myself from a “bird’s eye” perspective, looking down on myself working the bike and the roads through nature’s perfect vistas. Sure there is risk, but life itself is a risk, and if we always avoided them we would never leave the house. Risk is where we learn lessons and have the opportunity for success. Without risk there would not be successes, for it is the journey not the destination, right? It is on the road, perhaps the road less traveled, that we find our bliss. Personally I can’t get enough! Even now after 65 days on the road I find myself trying to figure out how I can stay out here and keep rolling from town to town always in amazement of what I will find scenically and grateful for what kindnesses I will find. Soon the road will lead to the Spa & Salon Expo in Atlanta September 17-18 where I will share much of what I have learned while visiting so many Spas and then reflecting on their challenges while riding and contemplating. My Keynote lecture is called “What I Learned on My Summer Vacation” and I would love to have you there. (You can register at http://www.spaclique.com/spa-and-salon-expos-registration.html ) My friends, you have all been very kind to me during this amazing trip and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support both on line as well as in person. I can tell you that we are already giving thought about how to make this tour bigger and better for next year, and how we might reach more people and provide more help to spa owners throughout America. If you have suggestions, please email or post them… In the mean time I still have another month on the road and I can assure you I have been saving the best for last.
