I'm typing this the day before the BIG GIVEAWAY.
To be honest I had no idea it would be so terrifying giving away everything we own and throwing ourselves at the mercy of the gods!
We have only the clothes we could carry, our computer and no idea where we will live or what we will do when we get there.
I once read of the ancient army that ordered its soldiers to burn the fleet when it reached the shores of their enemy. That, in a nutshell, is what I intended.
Change, growth, a fresh and deeper understanding of life - or die trying!
At the moment we're lucky enough to have been offered a place to stay for 2 months whilst the owners are overseas.
But this is just the first step off the diving board of our life into the unknown.
Of course I wonder if selling our stuff would have been a smarter thing, but it would have dragged us both right back into the mindset of fear & social conditioning we are desperately trying to break free of.
Of course this adventure REALLY is very exciting - And in many ways I'm really looking forward to giving our things away. It feels like the perfect start to this leap of faith. Letting go of the energy of the past by giving it to others who can use it to better their lives.
Anyway, as always we would love you to join us as we embark on this adventure – Hopefully travelling around from town to town. We would love to hear how YOU have brought meaning and inspiration to your life or others.
Don't know why I chose the picture above - Just felt it was the essence of the beauty of change.

ReplyDeleteIf your trip takes your North to the sunny coast around Jan/feb 2010 maybe look me up in Coolum, if the great plan has unravelled how i see it then myself and my family will be in a cute litte house there and not living in our coaster, which if it is right for you guys could use it for some of your adventure...x
