Love this!! At 66, I still work 25-35 hours a week from home but I need to take your lead and create rituals that support me! 💕

Yes, Kat. It will keep you grounded. And you should allow some down time to reflect and recarge. It makes life go by smoother.

Thank you. I like this....even if Im not living in a van, as an artist I constantly struggle with how much I CAN accomish and society's or my younger selfish expectations of what I SHOULD accomplish at 69.

Carol Seymour's avatar

Yes, at 69 you're in a learning curve to draw the line.

I think when you get older you should live and do as you like. Period. No exceptions.

I agree Thomas.

It’s fun isn’t it, to finally practice being completely oneself! What a gift this is!

Carol Seymour's avatar

Yes, finally! It's so hard to learn which direction to go in when you have to balance family and career with life, while young and learning the path.

This resonates with me hugely. I've been nomadic on and off over many years and it's been an incredible journey. I'm saving for a setup more akin to yours so that these little things that help me stay functional remain intact. I'm doing everything from a Prius right now but absolutely love the freedoms that my choice of living gives me.
