Hi guys!
Hope yāall are having a fantastic holiday season so far!! And the stress of holiday shopping/decorating/BEING YOUR AWESOME SELF hasnāt gotten the best of you š
As the title gives away, Iām gonna be taking a break from blogging for a bit to refresh and just spend some good time catching up on other of lifeās adventuresā¦ Itās been a helluva year from getting sick to getting fired to then coming back here with you all (the best!!!) and I think I just need to pause and soak it all in for a bit.
Speaking of which, can you believe itās been 6 months now since Iāve been back?!
It feels like it was just yesterday, but also like 100 years ago too, hahaā¦ I can already tell the landscape has changed here (both on my blog, as well as the industry in general ā everyoneās mostly chilling on social now!) but itās been great getting creative again, so thanks to each and every one of you for welcoming me back in your life š Your support has done wonders for my recovery, and I feel like Iām now back to 95% of my old self ā woo!
Hereās a short list of some of the things Iām gonna try and do over the next few weeks:
- Finally get my tattoos! (Iāve wanted some swallows for over 20 years now, and I think itās well past the period of āmaking sureā, lol)
- Finally visit my friendās coin shop (he started it years ago and I still havenāt been!)
- Check out a new brewery on the scene (Iām currently on a 5 week āno alcoholā streak at the moment, but I have a feeling I wonāt be able to resist the calls of whiskey much longer as I sure do miss it!)
- Get all my Xmas shopping done early (Iāve been making lists all year long of what people like (thanks to whoever shared this tip with me!) so itās really just a matter of scooping them up nowā¦)
- Tip someone $100 per Andy Hillās #BigTipTuesday movement!
- Attend Plutus Voicesā āContent Creator Happy Hourā in DC this upcoming December 7th (a fun get together of content creators in the area. If youāre nearby, come join us and hang out IRL! Even if youāre not a creator! More: plutusvoices.com/dc)
And then here are some āmaybesā on the list:
- Try CrossFit?! (our 100/day push-up challenge was a total success, and now Iām naively thinking that maybe I can handle CrossFit too?! Lolā¦)
- Create some TikTok videos and be a part of the Cool Kids
- Visit some museums farther out in the areaā¦ (I used to do one new one a week, but after awhile I ran out of all the ones closest to me so now the next nearest ones take a bit more planning)
- Visit new skate parks in the area (same as above. Though maybe I can double up and find places that offer both?)
If I can get just some of these crossed off Iāll be happy, but even if for some reason I accomplish none of them Iāll still call it a win. As long as Iām enjoying my time off to myself and slowing down life ā the main point of it all. Gotta break the constant go-go-go and double make sure weāre go-go-going in the right places! Or at least freeze time for a bit and collect our thoughts.
So thatās what Iāll be up to this holiday season! Catching up on life and just being thankful I even have the option to take breaks as my body and mind need oneā¦ Money can buy you many things, but the older I get the more Iām realizing how *freedom* is one of the best of them. And I hope from the bottom of my heart youāre able to take advantage of all your hard work this Christmas too š
Yours in finance (and life) forever,
PS: Here are some great articles around sabbaticals if youāre interested in pursuing them one day too:
