Re-invent Yourself Here!

[Sachita]

I suggested this to a friend unhappy with their current life. I then started to think "why the hell not?"

I think it would be a great thread.

You have sold everything and can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone, start completely over. Where would you go, what would you do?

First type that part.

Now tell us what it would actually take for you to actually do it.

Please take your time.

If I sold everything I would have a nice chunk of change. I would buy me a huge 5th wheel RV Toy Box, back drops down, converted to haul my dogs. I would travel around the US and teach people how to become foster dog parents. I would probably pay cash for a little tiny cabin in the mountains as a home base and retreat.

I would have a place in Costa Rica or some place beachy and warm.

Or take a partner here at the farm and trade off taking care of things whilst I traveled to do the same.

I would work 2 weeks a month, take off two weeks. I would have coffee with people a lot and fall madly in love.

____________

I would lose a lot of money if I sold the farm right now. Rural properties are in demand but not at the price that would make it worth selling. But if I did I could.

I will seek another person of like mind and spirit who wants the same. To work hard and play hard. Some type of arrangement with a trusting, spiritual soul that loves animals and is not afraid to get dirty.

lol- It seems that I have already re-invented myself. I guess I just need to do things a little diffrently.

Alter speaking now...


Darling I would buy me a damn Harley and a Jeep. I'd spend 6 months going to spas, making myself over, wining and dining. I'd spend a few month a year in a Casita by the ocean in Costa Rica, zip line through the jungles and eat too much papaya.

I'd go to Brighton by the Sea (England) and tea dance with the british queers. I'd head to LA during the Diana Shore weekend, down to Key West for Fantasy Fest!

I'd buy a big ass houseboat and start a seasonal party boat business for queers.

So many things come to mind....

Cruise around the world...

Open a teahouse...

Live on the beach ion Costa Rica, but no jungle zip lines...lol.

Live on a ship

Move back to Argentina

Visit all my friends around the world

Though I am not sure if selling everything right now would pay for any of that

any thing is possible is you want it bad enough. Do you think 20 years ago I thought I'd be living on a farm taking care of animals? lol hell no.

You ever hear of couch surfing? There's even a web site.

Opening a tea house might keep you from traveling. How about a traveling tea house? One of those food trucks painted all cute. Make pastries and java too, build a twitter following, special events such as speakers, open mic, do it in pastures, downtown, any where you can get a permit.

This idea ( or take-offs from it) can and has worked for folks. In Homer, Alaska I had the opportunity to meet a couple who own The Sourdough Express. She started it very much like the "traveling tea house" idea and met her husband ( who came to work for her) a couple of years after she got up and running. Theirs is truly one of those " live your bliss" stories.

actually i did some research on gourmet food truck and the boom in areas like CA, DC, Miami, across the nation. You can find them on facebook and twitter people following them around town watching to see where they will be. It's pretty amazing. In fact, you'd be great at something like that. I told Christie a while ago that instead of opening a cafe open a concession but something unique and different. Get a following of people and permits at interesting places where people can meet up and socialize.

Now Jess, re-invent yourself! what would you do if you could walk out that door right damn now and go anywhere, do anything. No holds barred.
