My whole life is about to change…..actually, scratch that. My whole life is already changing. As I type this I’m waiting for an offer on our house to come in, trying to figure out what my next steps are going to be for work (did I really just quit my job?!), and how we are going to possibly downsize our life from five bedrooms in the suburbs to two bedrooms in the country. I’m leaving the landlocked state I grew up in and have lived in for 41 years and moving to one surrounded by ocean…..whoa.
Regardless of all of this questioning and unknown, what I do know is that I’m heading on a journey long overdue. A simpler life in a dream location on the water near the ocean. A life where I’m working to live instead of the other way around. A life where I can give myself the attention I need and deserve as well as my precious family. I’ve got some lofty goals that I’m taking the first steps toward:
- Secure remote work so my day is my own and I can enjoy my new river life with my family.
- Become debt free so we can spend less time working and more time living.
- Claim my own life back- focus on my physical, emotional, and mental health so I can be the best mom, wife, daughter, freelancer, etc. I can be.
- Simplify my life- less stuff less worry, get organized!
- Enjoy sundowners as a new tradition for me and my husband while sitting on our dock and watching the sunset over the river.
So here’s to taking the first steps on this journey going from “Land Locked” to “Water Views!”
