My name is CJ. Welcome to my little corner of the internet. A place where I blog about my train journey known as life. You might find it interesting as it comes with extra bumpy bits that not everyone gets to deal with. My eyes really would prefer to be ears. One of my ears never pays attention and I need wheels to get around. I have something called CRS, which means I get to find creative ways of doing the things you’ll hopefully never have to stop and think about. Luckily, I like challenges! If you board my train and come along for the ride, I promise to show you some fun and educational places. Come on… tickets are free!
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. – Vivian Greene

- When Blogging Fails, Dreams DeliverDear Readers, I wasn’t planning on writing a blog this month.
