My Travel Story

by: Brandi Bynum Start Date: Jul 19, 2023 - End Date: Oct 16, 2023
I've recently emerged from a challenging chapter, having overcome a stroke caused by a heart wrenching experience, I was sexually assaulted a few steps from my home.
As if that weren't enough, I find myself navigating the complexities of a divorce.
Prior to the trauma that I inquerred, I would travel a ton. Now, that I am able to walk now on my very own, would love to start traveling once again, now that my next chapter is starting. The two places that I chose are Toronto, Canada along with London, England. Toronto because I want to go to the Toronto film festival that is coming up this September. I love films and art. Those things make my heart sing and what also helped me heal. London, England was chosen, because after reading my journals ( I suffered memory loss with my stroke and still don't remember things. I had to relearn everything as if I were an infant trapped in an adult body. I fought to reclaim a life. My old life is no longer.) My journals helped me to see who I was as a person. Have been journaling since a child. But London, England is on my bucket list.
After everything that I have gone through, now is the time to start living, not tomorrow or when I get a chance to. Life has to be lived on purpuse right now here today.
I would like to thank so very much for listening to my story.

Warmest Thanks,
Brandi
