Saddle up!

Yup you may know that one of my favourite quotes if from John Wayne
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway"

It's so true... and a new favourite for me, is this...
"Life is an adventure so saddle up!"

It's true, and sometimes I forget that my hubby and I have a wonderfully adventurous life, or we have for the past couple of years- and now the adventure continues. Sounds so glamorous right? Oh yes, it would be if this was a vacation, it would be amazing. This place is amazing. But this isn't a vacation, I'm reminded of that every day... it's just doing what I do in a new and wonderful place- which makes it an adventure! There is a language barrier, a culture barrier, a food barrier... it's full of barriers... but it's also full of smiles, and children saying 'hello, what is your name?" it's pretty sweet. I feel very happy to on this adventure...

We recently got in touch with an orphanage here, to see if it would be possible for us to visit and hopefully volunteer, and do life with people who are changing the world. Fingers crossed I'm hoping that we'll be able to visit with them and get to know them. But in the mean time, I'll get back to this adventurous life, of doing graphics for a client, checking on my blog, checking my Facebook, heading over to Etsy to make sure my products are all lined up and looking good, then I'll probably have a peanut butter sandwich, bring the laundry in off the line, start supper and sweep the floor... it's not glamorous, but it's mine, my adventure!

Share the love, and Saddle up!

LostBumblebee soon to be on the loose... again.

Ever have an opportunity that was so good you just couldn't miss it... and then once you said yes... well you were scared to death?

Ya, that. It's a big year here for me and the Mister... we are packing up and getting ready to head out on another huge adventure... one that will change our lives forever. For. Ever.  We are packing up for longer than we've ever packed up for, we are headed half way around the world, and we will be living life on purpose on the other side of globe. Living life on purpose, that is how we started living our lives two years ago... with a purpose- not letting life happen to us, but making our own lives.  On this new adventure, do I know what my purpose will be yet? Nope. I'm sure I'll find out when I get there. But do I have a purpose? Absolutely!

When you are challenged with big things, and you are scared to death, how do you deal with it? What do you do to calm yourself down... get yourself organized... and get on with it?

This is one of my favourite quotes;
Courage is being scared to death, and saddling up anyway - John Wayne

What are you saddling up for this year? What do you need to be courageous about? What are you planning that is scaring you to death?

Share the love,
M.
