Oh, The Places I'll Go

"And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)"
- Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll
Go!

When I graduated from university, I received Dr. Seuss' Oh, the Places You'll Go! as a gift. Little did I know I'd be reading it several years later, sitting alone in the middle of the floor in my downtown Ottawa apartment, tears streaming down my face. As I flipped through it this morning, I was amazed at its relevance throughout time. Although the book is commonly geared towards young graduates, the message speaks to anyone ready for new beginnings. Sitting at the helm of a much awaited year long sabbatical, in circumstances I never would have imagined out of university, how timely for me to have stumbled upon it today.
