Two Days

Well .... two days until I will be car free!!!! Ok, not completely, I do have to rent a car or borrow one next week to complete a work project in ND -- I decided that would be too long of a commute!! ;) But as of Saturday --- I will no longer have my own car. Part of me is SUPER excited and the other part is SUPER nervous. Can I actually do this? It is one thing to talk about doing it --- and how cute I will look on my bike. But - this is serious. I am actually not going to have a car. Let me just say that again (for my benefit, not yours!!!) I am actually not going to have a car. .... Just trying to let this set in.

Granted, I am going back to grad school full-time. So, the commute will be easy --- and I will not be expected to dress-up every day. And, I am trying not to think about winter --- just taking things one day and one experience at a time. And, I am excited about all of the new experiences --- and learning more about myself --- what am I really capable of?

Whew ..... and then I think ..... people all over the world live without cars. It is really not that big of a deal. Plus I have a great network of people with cars .... so ..... two more days!!! Hopefully I can find a cute bike helmet before then!!! ;)

  1. Rachel....your journey is very inspiring. Seriously very cool! And...I know that there are an entire crop of guys who wouldn't think twice about you showing up on a bike with helmet hair and would actually think it's pretty sexy!
