My dream is to one day visit all 34 cities in the world built on seven hills. If you are interested I actually wrote a book on the subject Seven, published by 1st Books which discusses the mysterious number seven from a historical, mythological and religious perspective. Seven~ days of the week, chakras, Islamic heavens, seas, continents, musical scale, colors in a rainbow, deadly sins, virtues, not to mention seven year itch, dwarves, seven steps to just about everything from self empowerment to learning spanish. Seven is an amazing number that does somehow seem to be programmed into our psyche. Anyway, I digress. Cities on seven hills - my obsession and dream. So far I have visited Bath, Seattle, Istanbul and Prague. Just 30 to go!! Lisbon, Rome, Moscow, Rio, Tallahasee, Cincinatti - the list goes on!!
Anyway, travel is another one of my passions in life and since finding myself in a state of "ex" decided to take the EX and transform it to EXtraordinary ~ and just for it. A city a year and I figure I'll be in Kampala, Uganda when I am in my 70's. Or, I can just take a year and do them all at once!! We'll see.
In researching my possible world excurison - I came across so many wonderful websites that offer women's tours...so here they are in case anyone is interested. No personal recommendations - you can just check them out yourself...

Great website.. very passionate!!! very inspiring, cute and funny!! It made me realize how fragile life is and that it what you have now may be gone tomorrow..so you have to love yourself and make the best out of God's gift - LIFE.. I was divorced 5 years ago only after 7 years (2 years marriage) ... It devastated me and affected other areas of my life..I have had several short term relationships and had not been able to commit to anybody.. My ex came back to me last month but I realized I don't want him anymore.. and realized how much stronger I am now!!! After some setbacks, life gets better and the best person you can rely on is yourself!!
