Nicole,your blog made me think of my upcoming trainride. I'm about to catch a train from New York to Miami and its going to be 27 hours long. I think I'm going to be doing same things as you..:)

As the very first post I've read on your blog (thanks for linking to it on your sidebar!), I am officially hooked. You are wonderful!

I have always wanted to do an extended train trip like that. One day, when my kids unshackle me from their person I may just get that chance.

Beautiful. Profound, in all honesty.

chelsea – very true that jerk doesn't even deserve a response. but honestly? it's kinda fun. probably because there's so many people in my real life that i'd like to say YOU ARE RIDICULOUS AND HYPOCRITICAL AND DUMB to. but i can't. so i do it virtually to random irritating stranger. and damn it feels good. i kind of want him to write again for more entertainment. i have issues.

We all know that Jerk is really just some poor self-loathing person who can only feel better about his/her own pathetic life by putting down a complete stranger's.

It's sad, really.

I think Jerk needs to get his own blog and stop trying so hard.

Who's with me.

@ "Jerk,"
Want a cookie? You're SO special. Look at all the cool stuff YOU do, but don't brag about. Check out all the traveling you've done, look at all those countries you've been to! Oh wait. You're not, you did, and no one cares.

Talk about someone being 'full of it.' At least Nicole's genuine. You have no idea what's led her to this point and where her heart is. And that's sad for you, because everything she's doing, everywhere she's going is because she wants to connect with people and make a difference everywhere she goes, not "get enlightened" or brag about it. Your assumptions are so way off, and it's frustrating to watch you be an asshat to one of the most important people in my life, and one of the most authentic people I've ever known.

Here's hoping your next trips "enlighten" you to some of that humility and tact wishcake was talking about.

Dear "Jerk",

I'm impressed. In all your travels and experiences, you still failed to pick up any sort of humility or tact. That's unfortunate, really.

love,
wishcake
