HOW I TURNED MY LIFE AROUND

Today I woke up deeply grateful to be living this life. I feel so much joy, and the Joy is coming from the remembrance that not too long ago I’d wake up each day with dread. Every morning voices in my head would tell me I was wasting my life, on the wrong path, slowly dying. Just a few months later, I totally upended my life. There are a lot of unknowns, but now I am finally living.

If I can turn my life around from darkness into light, so can you. There truly is light at the end of the tunnel.

And, how did I upend my life, you ask?

In 2018, I went moved from 3500 square feet to 120, from my lovely house to my camper van. I quit my job and sold my car. I also cut my hair off. While I loved my red hair, I didn’t want to dye it while on the road. Plus, this whole journey has been about FREEDOM and I don’t feel very free if I’m always making sure my roots don’t show!

And I also left my husband. I couldn’t quite put my figure on it, but something wasn’t right in my marriage. It was draining me. This is why I highly recommend solo travel. It took being away from him for an extended period to see the unhealthy patterns.

You see, I had a breakdown from everything that was wrong in my life. I came back from 32 days out West and set myself free. Entirely free. Job, house, car, relationship.

And then I left town.

I moved into my camper van and wintered in Florida. I needed time and space to heal. Home is/was Lexington Ky. I love it there and am grateful for the many friends and sense of community that nourishes and supports me.

However, I am not moving back anytime soon. After too many years of not living my life, I have decided to LIVE LIFE as fully as possible. For me, that means traveling the country, visiting all of our National Parks, and having adventures along the way. I bought a new (bigger) camper, too.

My plan is to be open to life, to live each day joyously. To feel that freedom and gratitude every day. Now I have complete time and location freedom. I can do anything, be anything, go anywhere.

It’s thrilling and scary at the same time.

I hope that my journey inspires you to make the most of your life. Don’t look back and fret about any “wasted” time. Look forward. It’s a new day!
