I started this journey searching for a way to relieve myself of the constant anxiety I was feeling while living in the states.
Let me take you back, but just for a moment…When I was a child, I lived in Germany for quite some time. Fast forward to my married years, both my then husband and I were in the Navy and the relationship wasn't great for reasons that don't matter for this story. I remember going to see a therapist and she asked me to close my eyes and think back to the last time I remember being happy. Immediately I responded "Germany!". I was a little girl, with no worries, making mud pies and anxiously awaiting the Brötchen Lady - very similar to the ice cream truck but with bread. My favorite was the warm Brezeln (pretzel) with mustard. I remember telling the therapist, one day I will go back to Europe. Fast forward even more, when I found myself once again, feeling anxious, uncertain, and lost in my own familiar world, I knew it was time.
My kids are grown, I have a thriving business that can grow almost anywhere. I have what I believe are the best friends, extended family, and blood family in the world. I am not attached to anything, any place, or any person. My family and friends support my decision and I’m confident that “if” I fall, they will be there to catch me. I couldn't ask for a better life. So now it's time to take chances, explore life in a different way and figure out what I really want out of this world. I don't want to fall, I'm terrified that I will, but here I go.
I hope you'll join me, engage, share your stories, offer advice, and hopefully some good tips. I'm not good at writing or taking pictures or posting, but I hope to give you some insight into my journey, my little insignificant world. Maybe make you laugh, and facepalm your forehead. This should be interesting at least and fun at most.
Oh, and for those who are wondering.... I have NO IDEA how long this journey will take.
