A New Adventure!

I write this note today from Colorado, where I am visiting family for a month. It's been a cold week, with snow on the ground, and yet it makes things so pretty. I had forgotten how pretty a Colorado snow is and for that I am grateful.

Three months ago, part of my job was to begin a project in Barbados. What a beautiful country. And yet, even before the beauty of the country, I found myself falling in love with the people there. They are so friendly, so committed to achieving goals, and driven, and yet, they seem to have found a way to truly balance their lives and understand that life is about more than just what we do to make a living. I have been fortunate to spend time there every month since September. And I realized I have learned from them in that short time. I feel at peace, I am more balanced, and life is just good.

After some discussion, I am on the way to a new adventure! January 6, I leave here and am relocating to Barbados to work with this project. The beauty of my profession is that it can be done from anywhere, something I have always been grateful for. The house in North Carolina is packed and stored, I drove here with my dog a week ago, and life is about to change. Turbo will live here in Colorado with family, and he's in the process of adjusting to that. I believe he will do well here, although I will miss that sweet face every day. And yet, with him here and my Jeep here, I will have both when I return for vacations.

Barbados will indeed be a new adventure. It is one I am looking forward to with a lot of excitement. I am thankful that the opportunity exists for me to be able to "take my job on the road" and operate from there and I will look forward to sharing lessons learned along the way!
