A Woman, a Map, a Dream

My big WHY for manifesting Financial Freedom, Location Freedom, Time Freedom, Emotional Freedom, and Freedom from Stuff

“Columbus” by Mary Black

'Cause here in this blue light
Far away from the fireside
Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded
So you can't even feel right.
You dream of Columbus
With your maps and your beautiful charts.
You dream of Columbus
With an ache in your travelling heart.

Wanderlust

What fuels my strong, innate desire to travel about. ADVENTURE, exploration, growth, experiences, challenge, learning new cultures and cuisine, seeing new landscapes, relax and rejuvenate, escaping bad weather, CELEBRATION!

“Anywhere With You” by Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen from BOOK CLUB

Sign me up for sunsets on a Roman patio,
pull a drink and say hello to Michelangelo,
Spin the globe, put your finger down, I'll pick you up.
Let's go!
I would go anywhere with you

from Tokyo all the way to Timbuktu,
Just let me pack, I've got your back through all the thick and thin,
Our dandelion dreams are out there blowing in the wind.
​My friends I would go anywhere with you, oh anywhere with you!

A review of Rolf Potts' book

“On Our Way” by Grace Mesa

Let’s go get lost. So we can be found.
Let’s take our time, and leave it behind.
You know that you’ve been waiting for it.
Ooooh we’re on our way...
We’ll make our home. Where ever we sleep.
Let’s take our time, you got what you need.

  • Defeat Jet Lag: strategies, with inspiration from Dr. Andrew Huberman who says that Jet lag is a significant physical and mental challenge. It is caused by rapid travel into different time zones, which disrupts the body's circadian rhythm (internal clock), causing a misalignment between your internal clock and the day/night cycle.
