Passport to Preparedness

By Angie Sullivan You are headed on a fun and greatly anticipated journey. Maybe you are excited, enthralled by every turn in the road and every bump along the highway to your destination. You would consider yourself to be well prepared, complete with your detailed itinerary in hand, and your passport ready. You know just what landmarks you want to see and how to reach them with your GPS or map. You know exactly what your expenses will be, and you’ve got the funds you need to get you there. You’ve actually taken this trip many times and you know the familiar road beneath your feet and returning again is a pleasure. But maybe, you are nothing like that. Maybe you are dreading this trip. Maybe you are wishing someone else could go in your place. Perhaps you are even unsure of where your final destination should be. As a matter of fact, you are only certain of one thing, the fact that you don’t have what you need to get there. You’re bags are practically empty. What should you pack? You have absolutely no idea. You don’t even know if there are landmarks you should be visiting. You are unaware of the pitfalls and wrong turns that you may be susceptible of making, this being your first trip. The road ahead looks desolate and intimidating to an unaccomplished traveler like yourself. You feel lost before you even take that first step. You might imagine that these people have chosen to vacation in Europe, or maybe they’re headed on a dreaded business trip. Actually, neither of these people are visiting a destination on a map. These people are both on their journey to Preparedness. I know what you are thinking, you see the parallel in the examples and you recognize these two people I’ve spoken about. If you are like most of us, you probably envy the first traveler, the one who seems to have already reached the “destination” of Preparedness. They get a gleam in their eye when they talk about buckets of wheat and canned goods, they are enthralled by water purification methods, and they seem all too willing to spend an extended period of time in a sleeping bag. If you are like me, you feel more like the second chap. You know you need to get to the Land of Preparedness, you feel drawn to make the trip, but you have absolutely no idea where to start. You have no concept of how long it will take you, nor how much of a dent it will put in your pocketbook. And let’s be honest, you prefer to sleep a few feet above the floor! Here you remain, frozen in place on your doorstep, with a map that you Replace too complicated to understand tucked in your back pocket. You’ve hastily thrown a few random items in a duffle bag with absolutely no courage to step off the stoop and begin. What you need are two things. First, you need a travel companion. Someone to help you along in your journey, share a little of the stress, and enjoy the journey with you. You need a friend to hold your hand and a shoulder to lean on. Then, you need a Travel Agent. Someone who has access to helpful information, tips, and who has the ability to help map out your agenda! You need a guide who is available to help you navigate this intimidating journey into what might as well be a foreign land! Well, my friends, I’m willing to be that travel companion you need.
