I love this! I gifted myself sobriety a couple of years ago. Pet sitting is my stand in for having a dog, but living in sweet and beautiful Thailand—how lovely is that!

What a beautiful gift, Beth! I think you've got the right idea to pet sit, especially while travelling. It's hard to travel because I don't like to leave my pup 😅

Happy birthday! Everything does indeed feel very still, but I suppose it’s nice to have that stillness during your transition to truly take stock of everything and feel into your next chapter. I’m a January baby so used to having everything quiet around my solar return. Sending you many blessings on your next year, and next chapter of life! ♥️ ☀️ 🪽

Thank you, Suzanne! It is kind of nice to have some quiet time during this transition. Such a different feeling to be a summer baby rather than the stillness of winter like yourself.

Here’s to year 33! I like the sound of Pathway to Purpose. Wondering if you’ve entertain the idea of doing it as an in person retreat in Thailand? That appeals on so many levels :-)

Yay! Thank you, Benjamin! Ooooohhh I'm so intrigued to hear the interest in an in person retreat in Thailand.... Similar thoughts have crossed my mind, and I've wondered if people would really be willing to make the trek. Your comment has me feeling a spark of wonder 💭

I went to Scotland this year for a retreat and I think being in a space that is other than what one is used to really helps shift body and mind into new places and openness to new thinking.

Hosting the retreat in Thailand would make it easy for you to set up and also cost-effective enough to offset the flight cost. People could be paying a similar price tag for something they might do here in the US.

I think the kind of people who would be interested in the travel and the experience are also the kind of people you would want as clients.

In person connections allow for a depth that just doesn’t come through Zoom, especially when people are sharing meals together and there is enough unstructured time for them to have conversations that build over multiple days.

Ohh Scotland sounds magical. You're totally right about the different space. The new environment really does allow for new perspectives.

The depth of connection is so much deeper in person. I reflect on some of my experiences in person (on the receiving end) and they still hold so much value in my being.

Thank you for this! It's something to think about. Sometimes I forget how unique it is to have the opportunity of living in Thailand that I brush off the opportunities that I could offer others, too!
