With my final day in Oaxaca approaching quickly, I’m doing my usual mid-November review. In this update, I look back on a 4.5-month ride that should have never been possible with $1000 to my name.

“Never get too comfortable” has been the theme of my week. From moving homes for the fifth time in four months to feeling an inkling that other parts of my life are also asking to shift, this week was the definition of unsettling.

This is a message from my beating heart to yours, especially if yours, like mine, is dancing in the darkness and feeling the call or invitation to choose fearlessness over hopelessness.
