Just found your blog and wanted to thank you! This line (”If your job leaves you wilted and unfulfilled . . .”) describes me perfectly and it was nice to read something so inspirational. I’ve got plans underway to quit that job, but it’s nice to see encouragement.

I love the vegan angle, too. Though I’m not vegan, I have been vegan before and my mom is currently, and I love learning new recipes!

Keep writing!

@ Vicki – You’re not crazy at all, your life *should* be an adventure! And what an example to set for your children, if you could show them what it means to follow your dreams?! Good luck – it’s NEVER too late!

Wow, this just gave me the chills!! I have always wondered if I was crazy for wanting my life to be an adventure. I’ve always wanted to see different places, and experience so many different things, but I always feel this obligation for my kids to just live a traditional life- but I’m not quite happy. My soul yearns for something different. :( This is inspiring!! Thanks so much.

Fantastic article! Totally sums up how I’ve been feeling lately. Where I live, there seems to be an accepted, “status quo” path in life. All of my closest friends are getting married, buying houses half a mile away from their parents, vying for cubicle-esque jobs… But whatever works for them. I just think it’s a terrible waste of “what could be” (we’re in our early twenties!). I’m moving to London in a week to start over, and I just wish more people would realize that we only get one shot!

Say- I can’t tell you how uplifting it was to read this entry. I just came upon your blog today, and the second I read your suggestion to paint re-used tire potato planters pink and cover them with glitter, I knew I was hooked for life.

Thank you for this. I really hope to see you and Damian soon! Tons of love to you both.
