“Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven’t half the strength you think they have.” – Norman Vincent Peale<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today is a significant day in the building of our bus. I am visiting the bus builder guy, after countless delays and hiccups, to determine how his progress is going and – with Bel – determine the future of the project with him at the helm.<\/p>\n

It has been weighing on my mind a lot in recent days. I am unsure how to proceed – so much hinges on what I see when I arrive in Heatherbrae. I will have to work with Bel and improvise a solution.<\/p>\n

And so, we stand up to our obstacles and do something about them.<\/p>\n

Wish me luck.<\/p>\n

With love,
\nIsrael. xo<\/p>\n
