Truly You Life Coaching and Grief Recovery Specialist

For so many years travel was not an option.  Work, family, caregiving all kept us close to home and those priorities.  But you grow by exploring the world beyond your own front door and tiny circle.  Travel is one of the best ways to do that!

The Man Cave

Picture
As I shared a couple of days ago, the husband is in his glory. He has started work on his cabin on the hill.  As you can see by the picture, it would better be described as a grainry, rather than a cabin, because well...that's what it is.  But he sees it's potential, and it enjoying it to no end. 
Picture
He has talked for years about building a retreat for himself up there.  We've watched papers, and auctions, and online selling sites for buildings that might be appropriate and could be purchased for a reasonable price.  Anything we found either was more money that we're willing to spend, or the good deals were missed by minutes.  He's been patient, this isn't a new dream, but it's a dream


This summer when the diagnosis came our lives were sidetracked, he made himself a promise that when he felt better he'd go ahead and act on it.  He's said for years that that little building would work, or he'd make it work and decided that he wouldn't put it off any longer.


So here we are, at some of the coldest days so far this year (a balmy -32 this morning) and where is he?  He's up on the hill in his man cave.  Fitting chimney pipe together, tacking plastic on the walls to keep it warm, dragging an old wood stove up there, so when all of this is done, he'll hopefully have heat.  He is literally freezing his butt of...but is having so much fun and his so happy.  Following through on a dream will do that.


So as we've been frightened into taking a good look at the dreams we hold and realizing we need to take action, I hope that you too can do the same in your life.  It shouldn't take a cancer diagnosis or a life threatening injury to move us into action, but so often that is what we need.  Otherwise we don't give ourselves permission to take those steps.


So I ask you now then,  is there a dream you keep holding at arms length thinking there is still so much time to pursue it?  And is there really?  


Enjoy the day!

Your analysis was both thought-provoking and well-researched, and I enjoyed the real-life examples you used to illustrate your points. Your article has provided me with a fresh perspective on the subject matter and has inspired me to think more deeply about this topic.

    Living our Dreams while Health allows

    Cancer came knocking on our door again in July of 2014.  It's visited before, through different times and people, myself included.  This time it dropped by to remind us that life is short and precious.  It came to remind us that in our 50s, things can and likely will change quickly, so start doing what you've been  promising yourself you would do!
