We have been overseas for almost 5 months pet and house sitting... on Saturday we fly back to Canada.
We feel so lucky to have been able to:
🐱 Love 10 cats, 7 dogs, 2 chickens and 1 parrot
🏡 Live in 8 beautiful homes in England
🏡 Live in 1 home in Portugal
🤍 Meet up with old friends
✨ Meet many new friends
📍 Visit favourite places again
📍 Visit new places that are now favourites
💼 Attend a business conference
🎭 Attend theatre performances - one so bad we left at intermission and one literally on a cliff
🏖 Walk the most beautiful beaches
🍽 Experience a traditional Portuguese Christmas meal
👨👩👧👦 Hubby got to spend 3 weeks in his hometown
And so much more…
The thing about travel is that it strips life back to what matters ✨
You carry less 🧳
You need less 🙌
You notice more 👀
You realize how little you actually need to feel rich.
🩷 Connection
💗 Kindness
🍲 Good food
🏡 Safe places to land
💻 Work you can do from anywhere
⏳ Time together
It reminds you that life doesn’t need to look a certain way to feel good.
It just needs to feel right.
This season hasn’t been perfect.
Some days were messy.
Some plans changed.
Some things didn’t work out.
And still - it worked.
Because we said yes.
Because we trusted ourselves.
Because we were willing to mess it up.
If you’ve been feeling the nudge to want more, live differently, or choose something that doesn’t fit the script - this is your sign ✨
You don’t need permission.
You don’t need it all figured out.
You just need to take the next step.
Life meets you there 💫
