Manifesting Everything I Said I Would
I have periodically filled you in over 2020 with a few blog posts that announced big changes, achievements, and growth. I made a vision board in May (2020) specifically for Italy and what it would entail moving there. Well, in two weeks I will be on a plane starting an adventure that was all just a manifestation. Glued some pictures on posterboard and now, 16 months later I have successfully brought nine out of the twelve photos to fruition.
In between, I have accomplished some amazing feats and I felt compelled to share how possible it is to make scary decisions, hit some roadblocks, yet land on your feet and rediscover what life is really all about.
All since having the courage to take a risk, I’ve accomplished:
I released my second book, The Parenthood Pendulum
Became a certified Reiki practitioner and met lovely clients
Appeared on 4 Women-Run podcasts since the start of this year
Shared the gift of meditation with my community through park pop-ups
Lead an amazing group of women to thrive at the Future Self Workshop
Created an Artist Fair with 9 other amazing vendors
Acquired & restored my dream vintage trailer
If this is the lifestyle you’ve been in search of, I highly recommend Be a Free Range Human: Escape the 9-5, Create a Life You Love and Still Pay the Bills by Marianne Cantwell. It starts you from the very basics and makes this big step, seem so much more attainable. I am even starting a program in November that will help provide you with the necessary tools to live Free Range and we’ll cover quitting your soul-sucking job to developing a business plan for success while living each day where and how you intend!
Im going to share with you how it is a lot more attainable than you may think! A few questions you may have...…
Don’t you need a special visa?
No. Depending on where you go, you can typically stay in the country for up to 90 days. As for longer, each country has detailed information on the consulate website ranging from student visas to permits to stay.
How must will it cost?
A lot less than you may think. Apartments can come as low as 1k a month for updated yet charming & safe 1 bedroom. If you up your budget, there are many affordable luxury options available too.
What to do? Groups?
Alone and lonely are two entirely different things, but if you find yourself craving human interaction, there are plenty of resources such as internations.org or meetup.com where you can find a group of people with similar interests and start making connections.
How bad do you want it?
Everything is possible if you are hungry enough for it. Let go of the excuses and do it!
Supportive partner?
I am extremely fortunate to be able to live in another country due to the life choices I have made along the way and I have the most secure, equally ambitious, and understanding partner. If you don’t have the support of those around you, then my question is are you in the right tribe?
Above is a journal entry I found written on May 19th, 2020. I visualized and felt a move to Italy in October every day since then.
