Life is journey - a sentiment that is espoused many a time, but rarely looked at in detail.

Journeys are sometimes smooth - but for one as long as life it is inevitably tumultuous, whether inwardly or outwardly. Sometimes, it is both - and they are nearly always linked.

Follow the journey of one who travelled to start a new life, and found that the grass is not always greener on the other side. That the people who smile at you are not always your friends. That the only person who can save you is yourself.

Follow her journey, expressed in unvarnished, heartfelt words, and be inspired by the story of a life successfully lived.
