So in the past couple weeks things have changed. First I had the bright idea to travel the world with the kids and Tahir. First I thought about just visiting. But that would not be enough when there is a whole world to see out there. So I thought to myself : why not live all over the world. For months at a time in each and every place. Might seem like a highly improbable plan but crazier things have happened. I truly believe that thought the days come and many little challenges pop up, there is something more magical that you don't see happening. The kind of thing that makes you stop what you're doing an color a picture you drew almost 5 years ago. A picture of your child's name. Your children. And add the name of the one year old. A beautiful psychedelic picture. In the moment. having had a day. A good day. Another day. In this life that is mine. Yesterday we went to the park and had it all to ourselves. it was nice. green. Birds chirping. Huge shady trees. The day before that we went to the jazz festival in Ft.Lauderdale with our cooler and I did the cha cha slide with the crowd ! So for now, I am planning our trip to the Western Caribbean. This particular cruise will be to Cayman Islands and Jamaica ! December 15th on the Destiny of the seas out of Miami. I am excited for the great bonding time. Memories. For the time being the property is in the works. I am thinking that the spring will be the time. I want it but also recognize that I have to take it easy. the law of least effort will work in my favor. We will have our Exuma property. We will. So for now the plan to teach english in Thailand and to stay all over the world, world, world will be in the works. I gave myself 3 years. So in 3 years I need to be prepared to shed my belongings. Except the ones we really really love. I would be curious as to if all of my "stuff" had to fit into 3 plastic tupperware containers which ones I would keep. Thinking we Just in case I
forgot to mention the nearly $750,000 house that we will build in Exuma is in the clouds. I think it will come to earth and land on our property at the rate of about 10,000 feet per year. So by my estimations,in about 7 years by the time we come back from our world traveling tour we will land at around the same time ! : ) Yep. School is boring. I hate having to drop off and pick up at a certain time,and I know something much more powerful, memorable and amazing awaits me and the kids and Tahir ! On that note, I will end will 2 quotes by one very wise and one very honest man: "Successful people ask questions, they seek new teachers. They're always learning." - robert kiyosaki "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you ? Not much." - Jim Rohn.
Jim Rohn must be speaking to me in spirit...
Here are a few more of his great wise quotes:
"Nothing is more powerful for your future than being a gatherer of good ideas and information. That's called doing your homework." -- Jim Rohn
"Get around people who have something of value to share with you. Their impact will continue to have a significant effect on your life long after they have departed."
On WEALTH: "It's not the amount that counts; it's the plan that counts. It's not how much you allocate but how you allocate it." --
"To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It's to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves...regardless of the economy."
"Being enterprising doesn't just relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough self worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a difference in your future."
"If you talk to your children, you can help them to keep their lives together. If you talk to them skillfully, you can help them to build future dreams."
"Our lives are greatly affected by what we know since what we know determines the decisions we will make."
Jim, thank you. God thank you. I find what is most important to teach my children is love, joy, compassion and following your passion by showing them. They have a love of learning, and they know how special they are. They know I have their back. They recognize the seasons, fall, winter, spring and summer. They know there is a reason to laugh, to believe, a reason to hope, and a reason to dream. They know a beat. They will dance. They will sing, they will hold hands, and bow their heads solemnly. They will never take no for an answer and they will always strive to make humanity better.
Thank you Jehovah Jireh!
