Seeker,

Go for it! How exciting. Before you know it, this life will be over. If you go to Alaska, when you're old, you can think back on what an adventure you have had! If you're not tied down to anything, except for cats, what the heck? Cats are flexible. Wow--what an opportunity. There is an artist in everyone, no matter the circumstances or geography. You just may be the one to develop those skills and abilities in the people of those AL communities. Let us know what you do!
