Being back has been a little hard, I have to admit. For those of you who have traveled away and then come home, hopefully you all understand and I am not alone in this.
Emotions, People, Constant Stimulation and So Much English.
There really isn’t a place for you to get lost in yourself when you make it back stateside.
I am fortunate enough to be unemployed at the moment and have spent just about everyday in the yoga studio.
I returned to Guruvyoga in Lake Mary and have been welcomed back with warm smiles and big hugs. When I am in class, I feel connected to myself, my thoughts and those around me. With this strength, I have also found amazing strength in my practice. The depth in which I find myself in poses and my inner core strength has me up in headstands and back in bends I have never been able to reach.
This past Saturday, Lululemon (a great yoga clothing organization) put on a free yoga in the park for Orlando. There had to have been more than 200 people. It was incredible. The sun was shining and our hour practice lit up the city.
I have found a new power within myself, one of a peaceful mind and a strong heart. I hope that this stays with me and through practice and reading and loving….I promise myself to stay positive and strong.
Namaste.

Intentionally and incrementally. Most families who live this way did not leap from conventional to adventurous overnight. They built remote work capacity, paid down debt, tested longer trips, and had increasingly honest conversations about what they actually want from their lives. The leap feels bigger from outside than from inside.
Different for every family. For some it is long-term travel. For others it is weekend adventures close to home. What connects them is intentionality about how time is spent and a preference for experiences over accumulation. The version that fits your family is the right one.
By finding stability within the adventure rather than treating them as opposites. Routines, rituals, and family rhythms travel with you. Familiar foods, bedtime routines, and predictable family dynamics provide stability even when the location changes. Kids need consistency in relationships more than consistency in geography.
That people are fundamentally similar across cultures in what they want for their families. That comfort zone is a smaller circle than it feels from inside. That the things worth having in life require effort and discomfort to get. And that time together doing hard interesting things is the most reliable source of family closeness.
By getting clear on why you made the choices you made and returning to that clarity when the outside noise gets loud. Most families living unconventionally describe an initial period of explaining themselves that gradually gives way to just living the life. The explaining becomes less necessary as the results become visible.
