Sometimes dreams do come true...and way faster than you every imagined! When things are meant to be they happen easily and quickly...some might call it destiny.
I realized when my Mom died that life is short. We only get a limited time here on earth to experience all it has to offer. Sometimes you just have to leap right in and pray that you don't hit your head on the way down. You have to believe that life is an adventure and what comes your way will work out.
I never used to believe in fate, that things happen when they are meant to happen. But life is funny and a lot of things in my life, paths chosen, experiences taken, have led me to this extremely fulfilling life full of love and adventure.
When you can experience life with someone who makes you laugh, fills your heart with so much love and genuinely makes you a better person...well then I say why not?
Mike and I have worked hard for this life. We designed it this way. Being able to work from home being our own boss, giving ourselves the freedom to make our own choices. We have taken so many risks in the last 11 years together and each experience, whether good or bad, has brought us some sort of fulfillment.
11 years ago when we were both going through ugly divorces and faced with a 20 year age gap, knowing that we would be up against some people who would try to keep us apart, we fought tooth and nail for our love.
Often times, we set up obstacles or reasons why we can't do something, instead of figuring out all the reasons that we CAN! Change is scary. Taking a risk is scary. But the result can be so beautiful and so amazing that you will wonder why you were ever afraid!
I'm not saying that I am never afraid. On the contrary, I am always afraid. Fear is a constant in my daily life and I feel that the best way to conquer your fears is to take them head on. Dive right in, and wear a cute helmet if you need too ;)
Our Florida move is super exciting, but it's also super scary. Packing up, again, and moving to a new place, alone. Just the two of us (and Goldie, of course). But I just know in my heart that this is where we are supposed to be on our path. The beach is calling us and we are listening. My soul is in the ocean and my heart beats to the rhythm of the waves kissing the shore.
In 67 days we will be moving into our new townhouse 5 minutes from the beach. What?!? The townhouse is fully furnished which means we are moving in true Gypsy style...our clothes, a few personal belongings and each other.
What more could we need?
Chase you dreams. Follow your heart. Stare fear in the face. You never know what wonderful adventure awaits!
