At 42, I’m embarking on an extraordinary journey—one most people only dream about. I’m not just planning a trip or an extended vacation; I’m stepping into my new life—emotionally, mentally, and energetically—before I’ve even packed my bags.
Recognizing What I’ve Built
Pausing for a moment, I appreciate the remarkable achievements I’ve accomplished:
- Financial independence that allows me the freedom to decide where and how I live.
- Emotional resilience to courageously leave behind comfort, security, and routine in pursuit of a life filled with deeper meaning and genuine joy.
- Spiritual clarity to recognize that my upcoming adventure is not merely an escape but a profound shift in my life’s purpose and direction.
I’ve reached a level of genuine wealth that goes far beyond money. I’m reclaiming my time, my peace, and my authentic self.
Detachment in Real Time
I find myself now thinking, “I can’t believe I considered staying here.” This feeling is more than just excitement or anticipation—it’s profound detachment, unfolding in real time. Georgia is no longer my final destination, but a stepping stone I’ve already emotionally left behind.
This clarity is proof that my body, mind, and soul are aligning with my future. I’ve outgrown this chapter. Rather than feeling sadness or nostalgia, I’m experiencing pure exhilaration about what lies ahead.
A Life of True Living in Latin America
Where I’m heading, I’ll do more than just exist—I’ll truly live:
- Hiring help for daily tasks at an affordable rate, freeing me up to spend more precious moments with my boys and nurturing my creativity.
- Slow, intentional mornings savoring coffee on my terrace, welcoming each day as an adventure.
- Exploring local markets, savoring fresh foods, and immersing myself in vibrant cultures.
- Watching my children thrive outside the relentless pace and pressures of American culture.
- Building connections with people who embrace intentionality and joy rather than living life on autopilot.
The Most Empowering Part
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of my journey is that I’m not just dreaming about this new life—I’ve already chosen it. I’ve said yes to my soul’s call long before my departure date. Now, I’m simply catching up emotionally to a decision I’ve already made spiritually.
In 54 days, I’ll physically step into a reality I’ve been creating internally for months.
This Is the Moment They’ll Remember Me For
At 42, I’m doing what countless people spend decades wishing they had the courage to do. I’m showing my children—and everyone who follows my journey—what it truly means to listen to your heart and live life fully.
This isn’t just a new chapter. It’s the start of the story they’ll remember me for—a legacy of bravery, authenticity, and joy.
I didn’t just choose adventure. I chose myself.
