This book started being written in 1994, after Virginia was held hostage in a standoff with police at a Buddhist ceremony. It took more than 30 years to complete because life continued with more transformational events. Reflections on these events provided a clear understanding of the connections and meaning of why things happen and how it is all connected. Everything written is absolutely true and somewhat mind-blowing that it all happened in one lifetime.
With a treasure chest of memories, of work in unique and fantastic parts of the world, Virginia wanted to share her stories with family, friends, and anyone who has dreamed of adventure and change but just needed a nudge of courage and confidence to take a leap into the unknown.
