It's true that when we bring outselves out of what's comfortable physically, we make a change mentally as well. It's inevitable, and the change isn't always a bad thing.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823808700523297184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-28334104150456772702009-10-11T21:44:50.554-04:002009-10-11T21:44:50.554-04:00I totally agree that a physical trip can be the ca...I totally agree that a physical trip can be the catalyst for a psychological journey.

You hit the nail on the head. I hate leaving my comfort zone, but once I'm forced to do it, I always have such amazing experiences.

It really is a chance to stretch yourself, but I find that with all the modern day amenities, you could easily hide away from those changes no matter where you are. Where's the fun in that? It love that different characters would react to the same new place in unique ways! <br /><br />I love reading historicals for the same reason you love writing them! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08616276555920544920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-31491881995182777312009-10-10T11:43:11.075-04:002009-10-10T11:43:11.075-04:00Michelle: I couldn't agree with you more about...Michelle: I couldn't agree with you more about comfort zones.
