Upbeat & Off-Track
Here’s to 2023!
It’s not unusual to enter into a new year with goals, plans, dreams, new ideas. Well this is mine. My new idea that is…a blog.
Upbeat & Off-Track. That’s what we’re calling it. It sounded good, we liked it, and we’re sticking with it.
This will be a place where we talk about living life off the beaten path and taking things a little less seriously. A place where we discuss things such as bus life, obviously*, minimalism (well our version of it) travel, mental and emotional health, and a handful of more topics. We will share our experiences as we travel off-track on the road less traveled, and how we stay upbeat in the ups and downs of it all. I’m currently writing at 11:13PM on New Years Eve as Ash and I have come down with the “vid”, so this is definitely a down moment, but we are still staying up beat, wearing our NYE party hats.
“Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.”
But more than the topics, the dream for the space is to become an encouragement. To help us all find the adventurer in each of us and to live life passionately, alive, and free. The greeks have a word; Meraki, it often describes doing something with soul, creativity, or love, when you put "something of yourself" into what you're doing, whatever it may be. For you, it might not be selling your house and moving into a bus, my question for you is what is that adventure that is calling you?
So again, heres to 2023! Let this be a year that we find the adventures all around us.
“And then there is the most dangerous risk of all – the risk of spending your life not doing what you want, on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.”
