Signs You're On the Right Path
Since I bought a van and began traveling through Morocco, Spain, and Portugal, I have been receiving more and more affirmations from the universe that I am on the right path. What does it look like?
1// Right Place, Right Time - A few hours ago I parked my van on the beach of a tiny Spanish village and went in search of a cafe that had wifi. Because it’s off-season there aren’t a lot of places open. I followed a hunch and wandered into an RV park that looked more like an oasis, a row of peacocks perched on the stairs above greeted me, birds chirped in the background, and big shady trees shaded me from the sun. I walked up to the receptionist’s office and asked if they might have had a restaurant with Wifi that I could work at. She said the restaurant was closed but that if I got a signal I could work there. I wandered a bit more until I found the restaurant which looked more like paradise.
Turns out there is a Wifi signal. And below is my current view. I kicked off my sandals and now have my feet in the sand and I don’t have to spend any money :)
2// Perfectly Aligned Opportunities - I just signed a contract with a new client. In exchange for three months of marketing help, I will be given a deed to a 1000m2 piece of land in Portugal. The land is not just any land, it belongs to Orange Eco Land, an eco-village that seeks to be a haven for those who want to live outside the system but still take advantage of the contributions of modern society (like solid Wifi). If you read my blog often you know that I’m currently writing a book about this exact topic.
3 // Divine Connections - A few months ago Squarespace invited me to speak to an audience of a few hundred free humans on a Zoom call about using the platform to help launch their side hustle or generate passive income. After the talk, a woman reached out to me because she was thinking about embarking on her journey outside the matrix and had some questions. We stayed in touch on and off but today she called me. I’m a millennial so any time my phone rings my heart shutters a bit. Turns out she HAD embarked on her journey, left her home in Canada, and was in Toulouse, France…except she was in a pickle, the host she had been staying with went cuckoo and she needed some advice about what to do next. I told her to join the Host a Sister Facebook group and try to find immediate shelter and then sign up for Workaway to secure a longer gig until she figured out what her next move would be.
A lot of times I feel like this is purely a solo journey of self-discovery, one that only benefits me, but after the call, I realized that it’s much bigger than that. The road I travel will help pave the way for others and the lessons I share will hopefully make it a smoother ride.
The more I align my actions with my values, the more the universe rewards me. And the more it will reward you, too. How cool is that?
