Flights are booked.
Last year I spent much of the year asking my friends and family “Can I run away yet?”
THey kept telling me “No”.
The nerve of some people.
But even as I make statements like that, the honest truth is that I am an incredibly careful person.
I typically take months and months to think things over. Anyone that has ever shopped with me can attest to it.
Early 2019 I started to feel the restlessness in my spirit kick into high drive. When this happens, just know that Hanna is about to get some stuff done.
When my mom passed in February, it sent me spiraling.
I remember being at the beach in 2018, and I went into the ocean to cool off. I got hit by one wave that swept me under, and then I found my grounding and thought I was good. Just then another wave came and knocked me back under the water. This happened about 4 times before I finally determined to get up and out of the water.
This is what much of my year has felt like. One wave after another knocking me down, until I determined to pick myself up and out of it.
I told myself, “Hanna, It’s time now. Make your plan. Figure out how you need to adjust your lifestyle to meet your goal, and GO GET IT!”
I thought, “My mom was a few days short of her 53rd birthday and she still had so many unrealized dreams. She was still working through so many old traumas and dramas. I WILL NOT BE IN THAT PLACE IN MY 50s. I’m going to smell all the smells, taste all the foods, see all the scenery, listen to all the languages!”
I had a side hustle for 8 months. I lived minimally. I determined to work toward my goal, and not talk about it.
Last week, I bought my flights!
A one way ticket to Dubai, then on to Sri Lanka.
My Sri Lanka visa was approved. My bag is about packed.
I just received the last few things I ordered for the road.
I have a few other stops planned along the way, but I’m not going to broadcast those.
Ill try and keep people updated via this blog, So you need not worry.
Peace babies!
