YOU ARE A CORK IN YOUR OWN BOTTLE HOLDING IN THE LIVING!!
One thing being on the road gives you is time to reflect and plenty of other peoples stories to digest.
It seems everybody has a story, and seeing how that story has affected that persons life got me thinking about mine.
Recently a wise person told me ‘You are the cork in your own bottle holding in the living’ and that CORK is often OUR STORY. Who we are, or are not, what we can, or cant do, whats holding us back or preventing us from growing.
To be honest i experienced quite a slump this trip i just couldn’t shake. It seemed no matter how great a time we had i couldn’t fully enjoy it. Until i realised it was the story i was telling myself about how this trip should be and what i expected from myself and others.
So this xmas im resigned to PULL OUT ALL THE CORKS and see what life looks like when the bubbles on the inside are allowed to escape without judgment or a story to keep them in.
Its an INCREDIBLE thought. What would life look like if you JUST DROPPED YOUR STORY!!

REAL WILD WEST TOWN – With a story
We swung by Oatman. The rickety old wild west hamlet that Clark Gabel chose to spend his wedding night at. The old mining pub (he sayed in) is totally covered top to bottom with around $70,000 signed dollar notes. Miners used to sign a dollar and pin it behind the bar so when they went broke they always had enough for a beer. The tradition caught on.
Oh but sir i should love to go to the dance
