What The Heck Am I Doing?
When I reached my mid-50s and realized little in my life was what I really wanted, I knew the only one who could change that was me. I had always wanted to see more of the United States, and realized I was never going to be any younger or healthier than I was right then. I knew it was time to do it while I could still fully enjoy it.
Since I had already been self-employed for nearly two decades, and my work is portable, that was the easy part. Everything else? Not so much. But I jumped in and here I am. It’s a challenging life, but it’s worth it.
