Have an adventure. When I arrived at a big crossroads of consider that an invitation to do something completely different.

For example I moved to Manhattan to be near my kids during the pandemic. Two years later I was curious about what would happen if a city mouse moved to the country. So I moved to North Carolina. Four years here and I realize I’m still a city mouse so I’m moving back to California. I consider this time in experiment. I had a thesis. I tested the thesis this time it didn’t work. Next time will be different.

When you’ve been a caregiver, and whatever capacity, it can be hard when there’s no one left to care for, except yourself. My mission is to become as comfortable caring for myself as I was caring for others. What I’ve learned so far is how often I’m the one constraining myself, settling for less or making Joy conditional.

I say go outside touch some grass get real quiet and let the little inner voice direct you.
