The Journey Continues in 2011 - January 1, 2011

It is hard to believe it’s been almost two years since my experiment in benevolence began with a classroom discussion of whether people are basically good or evil. That conversation in the spring of 2009 led to this blog and, a year later, to my month-long journey through Turkey. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.

I wanted to take this opportunity to again thank all of my generous benefactors for making the trip possible.

Although the traveling has ended, I hope to continue my Turkish journey in 2011 by getting a book published about the trip. This week, I finished the third draft and plan on contacting publishers by the end of the month. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I’ve never tried to get a book published, and I’m not sure what to expect, but I’ll approach the endeavor, keeping in mind one of the main lessons I learned in Turkey – anything is possible. As I go through the process, I’ll share details on the blog.

I appreciate everyone who’s visited my site, and I wish you all a happy new year.
