The Next Chapter!

WOW! Talk about a change of lifestyle! We are getting settled in to our temporary home! These past few days have been a little stressful however not overwhelming as I thought. It is amazing how much stuff we have collected over the past 8 years. I am happy that we started purging our stuff in May, however we did not know we were going to sell our house! The past few days we made 3 FULLY PACKED trips to The Kimberly Home(thrift store), and I think there has been over 10 trips total in the past few months. Sold a lot at our garage sale and craigslist. I feel like this huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. It feels freeing! I have been told by many that I an inspiration for doing the things I do from unschooling(type of homeschooling), minimizing, selling our house and living in a 5th wheel temporarily. I am getting use to making huge changes in my life and it's getting easier and easier. I think about how I use to live my life, in a boring, monotonous way and can not imagine going back to that. I am LOVING my new found freedom to do what I want to do when I want to do it. In the past I have felt stuck. Stuck in an ever changing world. Humans were born to move forward and it feels great being in motion. It all goes back to those darn beliefs about life that held me back. It has been said that most of your beliefs are ingrained by the age of 4! That is crazy! Our beliefs hold us back or propel us forward. The good news is, beliefs can be changed and at ANY age might I add! Imagine evicting all those negative beliefs about yourself! It's a fantastic feeling and I am transforming every day. 

I feel really good about this move. Am I scared, sure to a certain degree however it won't hold me back from doing these uncommon things. It feels like a challenge to me to do the things that most people won't, to stand out from the rest. The sale of our house has given an opportunity to invest in our future. It has also freed up over $2000 a month as well. At first it was hard to give up the luxury of having this beautiful house. I thought about the hold this material possession had on me. I was about to let a house prevent me from an awesome opportunity. I will tell you, what helped me was getting rid of the small material things in my life first. It eased me into letting go of the house. 
I have felt so much better living in this smaller home. We have really utilized most of the space and it does not feel overwhelming taking care of it. I didn't really know what to expect but it's been great! There is plenty of room even with our dog and cat. LOL

In my old house I would just let my dog out in his small dog run and rarely walked him and now I walk him 3 times a day. It was so easy to be lazy and now it feels different. Convenience is not always a good thing and it gives an excuse to be lazy. The people here in the campground are really nice and they are outside often. There is just a different feel in these places. The snow birds are slowly showing up and it's getting busy! Zak even went swimming today! The boys also road their bikes around. 
I am SO thankful to my parents for loaning us their 5th wheel. It means a lot! Their generosity has always been like this. I remember my dad letting me take the 2 jetskis when I was 18. Yes I pulled them to the destination, put them in and took them out with no problems! LOVE YOU TWO!!! 

All I can do is smile these days. Alex and I's relationship is stronger than ever. We have spent the past 4 days together and it has been fabulous and I want MORE time with him! The bond between the boys and I have grown. Life is really really good. I'm happy I didn't let doubt and thought of failure among others run my life. 

THIS is the life I love! It's a work in progress and it's exciting.
Once you start living the life you want, it opens up unimaginable opportunities for success, love, connectedness, laughter, romance, wealth and above all happiness inside and out.
