Show transcript

00:00:01: Do you want to live a life of freedom and adventure?

00:00:03: Are you wanting more than the daily crowd?

00:00:06: Me too!

00:00:07: Welcome to The Emma Lovell Show, A place where we talk about living a life you love now.

00:00:12: I'm your host, Emma Lovelle And my number one value is freedom.

00:00:19: I've said that love for whom he has run his business in travel which is fantastic.

00:00:55: Let's jump here & get dreaming.

00:00:57: This Is Space For You To Manifest A Life You Love.

00:01:02: I would like to acknowledge and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first peoples of this place, now known as Australia.

00:01:23: Hello and welcome to the Emma Lovell Show today.

00:01:26: I am coming from a bed, so if you're listening in the podcast... My mother-in-law did point out that i put on a little bit of lippy but otherwise it would have got... And I pulled my hair out because there was a big bun on top of me head for most days.

00:01:43: But I did get a little jazzy.

00:01:48: We are now three nights away from going overseas for two and a half months.

00:01:53: So I did use the clickbait of moving to India, but do you know what?

00:01:58: To be honest it was originally the intention um...was to go over like six months.

00:02:04: then it was like we'll go four months and then some work things came up.

00:02:08: so now we're going for two-and-a-half months also because we wanted to make sure we were back in time for my son.

00:02:14: But it feels like we're moving.

00:02:15: I'm gonna you know for those watching along, i'm going to show You what the room?

00:02:18: I'm looking living in right now looks light.

00:02:20: there's three of us In this one bedroom.

00:02:23: We were into a bedroom apartment with my in-laws.

00:02:25: This is their fabulous holiday house.

00:02:27: got these incredible view.

00:02:30: It's really lovely.

00:02:32: Waking up every morning and seeing the water is, it's really gorgeous!

00:02:34: And the sun shining in...and it is lovely to be able just go out there and take a breath.

00:02:39: I love where i live too..I get to look at my pool.

00:02:42: we have palm trees out there.

00:02:43: but I mean yeah this apartment has a marina in it.

00:02:47: so its pretty incredible anyway.

00:02:50: So woe is me But you know There are literally boxes and bags ..and ...there are boxes with my jewellery and clothes, and passports.

00:03:01: And things just all over the place.

00:03:03: so we're still very much in it.

00:03:05: for those who haven't been following along I've been trying to take you along the journey.

00:03:09: there have been weeks where i wanted to do like a normal episode and then doing a little snippet but instead of kind of just done whole episodes really at that moment.

00:03:17: um We did release A Fabulous Episode last week which was SO long overdue with The Incredible Sally process.

00:03:23: So if you havent heard yet its called voice print Pretty sure.

00:03:26: we recorded that in like January or February and then I changed laptops.

00:03:30: And, In the middle of changing the laptop somehow The podcast got lost between my two zooms.

00:03:36: Thought it was lost to the abyss.

00:03:38: i had a note on My wall for the whole year going find this episode Find This Episode!

00:03:42: And finally Like A week ago You know...this is good thing about Going overseas For long time Or moving house Is you just like really sort through everything?

00:03:52: So..I Was going Through all my office this old laptop that I just hadn't cleared and i wanted to clear it, so hopefully we'll sell today on Marketplace because its worth some money.

00:04:04: but...I went through and checked what was there.

00:04:09: There were two folders left.

00:04:11: one of them is the podcast.

00:04:13: It's like sitting at the desktop!

00:04:16: I swear I went thru all these..it popped back up anyway.

00:04:19: thank you universe cause a really good interview.

00:04:23: I think it's a really good interview.

00:04:26: And now Sally and I are going to do another episode because she has gone off on an amazing adventure, Trekking the Camino which is definitely a wish list for me some day.

00:04:34: so i will get her in podcast again but please go listen to that.

00:04:39: and Sally have beautiful book called Voice Print Anywho!

00:04:44: That was one of things we've been doing.

00:04:45: So otherwise basically sharing life updates with my pleasure life.

00:04:51: I don't know if in the next few months, i'll be having guest interviews.

00:04:54: I'm just not sure.

00:04:55: because of our travel schedule... ...I don't want to look into much too timings and things like that.. ..because I dont always know where we're going to be.

00:05:03: so right now playing it by ear.... ....i think im gonna try make some work.

00:05:08: days were are booking a bunch of appointments but we have to see how things go!

00:05:15: But yeah three nights.

00:05:18: We've got three nights, Thursday Friday Saturday.

00:05:20: On Sunday we fly to Bali so I'll be on the plane and sleep in Bali for a night.

00:05:25: So that's what i have been doing today is visas And then we go.

00:05:30: India on the sixteenth of November will arrive this afternoon Just speaking with my travel partner about final arrangements over there.

00:05:37: He has us a SIM card.

00:05:38: he also has a debit card which was super handy without all the international fees, we've got... The accommodation was already booked.

00:05:49: He will meet us at the airport with our driver.

00:05:53: We don't have like a one-driver the whole time but through Our company Indus Bound.

00:05:57: So partner of the travel company Indis Bound We do have availability for drivers And we have cars Through their companies.

00:06:04: so There will be times where he'll make those available to Us which is wonderful.

00:06:08: and there are other times Where you know I love just getting around in rickshaws, or friends might come and pick us up.

00:06:16: Or those sorts of things.

00:06:17: so we plan to be in deli for at least two weeks.

00:06:20: however something that we have to keep an eye on And Something To Be Conscious Of is um Deli has had some really bad pollution.

00:06:27: It's very interesting.

00:06:28: if you go on the weather app I Have An iPhone If You Go On The Weather App You Can Actually See That The Um Pollution Reading And i've Had Some Messages From Friends In The Last Few Weeks Saying The Pollution Has Been Quite Bad?

00:06:41: When I say quite bad, they do not go outside for the day.

00:06:43: So if we find that we're having to stay inside a lot and all getting unwell like what it does... It gives you basically hay fever and allergy symptoms but it can feel like burning in your throat or super fun!

00:06:56: and a lot of congestion.

00:06:59: Obviously it could be very bad for your health, pollution so... And is sort of seasonal thing due to the cloud cover burning off in states where they shouldn't be burning.

00:07:09: but there are some factors that we will keep an eye on as we might go out into like a mountain or hill area with more nature.

00:07:20: We'll be in Delhi until my wonderful client and friend Nikki arrives.

00:07:24: And then we're going to travel with her on her first ever retreat along with her group, so that will be really exciting!

00:07:31: My goal is to do a podcast every week for you um...to let you know what's happening.

00:07:35: how are we going?

00:07:35: So this is Thursday the twelfth of November..so hopefully in a week I can share with you how we're doing and what were up too.

00:07:42: Um....and yeah i'll be sharing it as an newsletter sharing a social update as well.

00:07:50: I'm trying not to overwhelm myself in terms of content creation and you know, i will say if you want to follow the journey The Best Place is probably my Instagram stories at emmerlevel.au.

00:08:02: it's really where I am most active.

00:08:04: um...I'll do this summary post once a week that we'll come off the back of podcast on email.. I hope to do that!

00:08:13: And sometimes just doing photo dumps because don't think im gonna have The capacity to share all the amazing things we're doing, but I think if i commit a podcast week where you tell what's been happening and how are making it work.

00:08:29: And then probably like yeah use my personal Facebook just do random photos more about me son wanting people see he is up too with LinkedIn.

00:08:39: It's weird!

00:08:40: I love sharing on Linkedin.

00:08:46: Sometimes I sort of go, oh is this too personal?

00:08:48: So doing it like this where i have the podcast and newsletter with Carousel.

00:08:52: They feel more... I don't know..I guess I present information in a structured way than when I'm just like yeah here's my photos!

00:09:00: And hear some reels.

00:09:03: You know what its part.

00:09:04: if this will probably be late you're like am I going to have fun?

00:09:08: but content creation sharing my story sharing life storytelling part of my business.

00:09:16: Role modeling, inspiring motivating encouraging.

00:09:19: like I know that me doing this will help other people to potentially do more extended travel.

00:09:25: maybe go and do a joint like a jaunt overseas themselves Maybe even move over seas.

00:09:31: And one of the things that i realized while i was packing up...and did have very long story..i've now created a highlight because it's so much work on those stories.

00:09:39: So i've created on instagram which is mrlevel.au, a highlight called Moving to India and that's kind of the lead-up process.

00:09:49: I've been talking about this since July so it was over four months not always content but some content.

00:09:56: And then i have one called India twenty-twenty six where I'll show what happens there.

00:10:00: So stories are the place when you're most active.

00:10:05: Then I will try to post some photo dumps and carousels.

00:10:12: Love to make some reels again.

00:10:13: I used to do like a day in the life of kind-of real, but gosh all their editing and things just take so much.

00:10:20: And i've been growing.

00:10:21: your business have been growing.

00:10:22: retreat me happy.

00:10:23: and you know that's been since August.

00:10:24: So I think a lot of my content Energy and Creativity has gone to that which is really relevant because That Is The Business?

00:10:34: That I Think is Sort Of Such A. it's not going To be Like A foundation Business that I'm Growing.

00:10:41: part of our work in India relates to that as well.

00:10:44: So it's been really nice the last month or so, all my businesses... All them Emma Lovell Rest and Receive.

00:10:51: Retreat Me.

00:10:52: Happy Indus Bound.

00:10:53: We are getting inquiries across-the-board a lot of them across pollinating And its just being really nice to have a bunch of inbound inquiries.

00:11:01: If you're business owner You will understand earlier this year was really quiet.

00:11:06: July Was like what is going on?

00:11:10: No inbound inquiries August.

00:11:15: Yeah, my next podcast episode will be very interesting.

00:11:17: So you might drop a podcast episode early next week and we might give me a little bit more time to do My first India episode.

00:11:23: but we'll see.

00:11:24: I'm not really excited.

00:11:25: And just want to talk to about what's going on.

00:11:28: This long-form content is great.

00:11:29: We're always gonna put these on YouTube.

00:11:31: hope we already do.

00:11:32: i think we ready too.

00:11:34: um so yeah hopefully Hopefully for Emma Lovell and The Bellagio Life, we'll get a bit more content.

00:11:38: Anyway I'm just talking through my to-do list.

00:11:40: this is the thing with me at the moment right?

00:11:42: i am in overwhelm.

00:11:43: central today.

00:11:46: it was like...I'm oscillating between overwhelm and excitement going oh my gosh there's so much to do!

00:11:51: And then moments are going.

00:11:52: ugh..i can't wait to be here.

00:11:54: and then moments of.

00:11:55: well this is so beautiful where we live isn't it gorgeous?

00:11:58: and trying to soak up a walk and be near the ocean, and the clarity here in the freshness of nature.

00:12:06: So very much moving between those.

00:12:10: what I'm finding was interesting when i was packing up at house.

00:12:15: so last weekend it was crazy.

00:12:19: from about Friday all systems go because we found out that week before somebody wanted to come into our house early.

00:12:26: So, which was really exciting.

00:12:28: We had a booking from the ninth of November till fifteenth December.

00:12:31: so we have five week bookings that were incredible.

00:12:33: Unfortunately yesterday last night adding to my overwhelm I found out people who are staying in our house right now and good for them And this is something they said might happen when moving up on their job looking at permanent places They may find some things if they did move out sooner but potentially would need the whole time and it was good to like take their weight off, might even needed longer.

00:12:58: But after two days at our house they found somewhere so there moving out next Thursday.

00:13:02: So now place is available again.

00:13:04: if you're listening or know somebody who wants a holiday It's now available from the twentieth of November to the fifteenth December.

00:13:10: We still have another week available twenty-third of december till third January And we had other weeks available from eleventh of january til seventeenth.

00:13:22: Anyway, you would like any more details about that.

00:13:24: Let me know.

00:13:25: and so yeah we just.

00:13:27: It was a big deal actually trying to get the house ready And so when we found out it was like well We have one week less to get ready.

00:13:33: So we started doing things as we went in.

00:13:34: there's a lot of decluttering A lot of moving things around.

00:13:37: The very first thing we did is pack our bags for India.

00:13:40: That great to do.

00:13:42: So we knew what would take into India while everything was set out.

00:13:44: and so it's like these don't get touched anymore, this is set in stone.

00:13:48: now that has not happened because I can see the piles for my son that were set aside of things he's going to take to India and i can literally from here see things that are not coming to india.

00:13:57: they have been placed on top because somebody's gone and done the washing or seen it around and go oh i see a stack of t-shirts.

00:14:04: let me put a stack uh T shirt there You know.

00:14:07: and then my husband had his suitcase, he's like I'm ready.

00:14:09: It's done it's all in there.

00:14:11: And then like that night i said is it though because?

00:14:14: Yes we've all got our own suitcases But also let were a family.

00:14:17: so some things will you know crossover or need to spill over but Also He comes with me that night goes.

00:14:23: oh yeah just realized I haven't packed any underwear.

00:14:27: I will be doing the final pack this weekend.

00:14:29: We fly out Sunday, I have all day Saturday and all day Sunday.

00:14:32: The tricky thing is being a Thursday or Friday...I've got work, inquiries meetings things going on.

00:14:38: so I'm like Saturday-Sunday are fully clear.

00:14:42: My husband's at work all day long as he has his stuff ready.

00:14:46: He made those selections.

00:14:49: That's fine.

00:14:50: I'll pack Saturday, do a check with him Saturday night and then we will finalise everything myself Sunday.

00:14:56: Finalise, finalise... I always have to pack the final bits of last day.

00:14:59: that is my thing.

00:15:01: It would be ninety-five percent packed!

00:15:03: Also this time i'm going use chat to BT.

00:15:05: I am going talk out all things we are packing so you can see it in our checklist.

00:15:14: Is there anything you think we're missing?

00:15:16: And then when we come back, obviously.

00:15:17: We can check the checklist again to see that we have everything unless we've lost something or given it away.

00:15:21: but yes so It feels like everything...we packed all those things which was really smart.

00:15:32: Then Then we've sorted things to sell.

00:15:36: I can see things around the room that are to sell, so have been doing a lot of that like selling on Marketplace and it's great time to go.

00:15:41: well if were not going into three months then probably haven't used these for six month or longer.

00:15:46: do you really need them?

00:15:47: And any extra pocket money when your travelling is awesome!

00:15:50: So having done this finding random things sold very well.

00:15:55: my digital camera which i just havent use in seven years sold for one hundred eighty dollars.

00:16:00: its amazing how clear out And there were moments where I went, is this ridiculous that we are literally taking?

00:16:06: We took every single thing out of our personal wardrobes.

00:16:10: Did we need to do that level?

00:16:11: when the people who are staying friends or friends-of-friends or people connected twice in some way and so say we go away next year for three or four weeks or for seven weeks and I wanted to put the house available would I do the level that we've done?

00:16:30: probably not Because I think when we get back because we've pulled out everything, i really hope that We can put things Back in a much more systemized and organized way.

00:16:39: And we already did have A very organized home I must say because we had enough.

00:16:42: fabulous Jess from collectively organized has organized our entire house In two different sessions.

00:16:48: so lot of Things are living in containers or and Have labels?

00:16:54: They call them zones Or places to live and So That made things easier.

00:16:58: but I took Everything Out Of the kitchen everything out of the fridge, everything out at the freezer.

00:17:03: We've never done that for a trip before.

00:17:04: we usually go and just leave it or just have some or whatever took sources all the things.

00:17:09: um.

00:17:10: then I would love to hear from you did we go overboard?

00:17:12: I took all the toiletries.

00:17:14: You know i don't think they'd be kind of gross if someone's stuff was there.

00:17:18: like They might not even open the bathroom cupboards at all And use this soap and stuff...I Don't Know but It Just Felt Like We Should Set It Up Like We Were Moving.

00:17:28: So.

00:17:32: But it's this weird thing and I would say for the future, like anybody who has done this before.

00:17:38: Moving house will have been easier because you just pull every single things out put everything in a new place And do a huge clean of everything.

00:17:48: The hard thing was that You are moving A lot stuff out.

00:17:55: We're also packing to travel.

00:17:57: So it's like, what do we need in the interim?

00:17:58: What are the temporary things that you need?

00:18:01: and then... what is there thing you want to keep inside of your house?

00:18:07: Do they need or what goes into storage.

00:18:10: so these three things and this my friend recognised yesterday she was kind of packing in different ways.

00:18:15: Things should be taken away that have come to here.

00:18:19: four different ways actually, there's things that have moved to this house.

00:18:22: Things that have gone into storage or been you know put locked away within the home and then things that you go well what would be left out and available?

00:18:29: how should the home be set up for a short-term rental?

00:18:33: And so in the past I've wanted to Airbnb and i'm like people have said kind of don't do it or... It's a lot of work!

00:18:39: And I've now been like oh gosh we could not have done this earlier.. This is too much.

00:18:44: but as I say Now That We've Done At Once potentially there's the opportunity future and we would just, as I say structure it in a way.

00:18:51: maybe leave one whole wardrobe.

00:18:52: And go look this wardrobe is closed not available i think always anything precious like my jewelry boxes over here that were very fortunate to have holiday house.

00:19:02: um if you didn't be locking on of rooms You have to do it like that.

00:19:09: So very interesting process.

00:19:11: I hope its helpful hearing me talk about, and i was doing videos as I went.

00:19:16: so from Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Like four days of full-on Cleaning up the house?

00:19:24: I was documenting what we were doing.

00:19:26: so That's in this story moving to India on my Instagram if you want to see it in detail Showing The progress Of like clearing things out And then thank goodness for my in laws one for letting us stay here at their holiday house, which is a beautiful place and not as struggle it all to be here.

00:19:42: But also if they're coming over on Monday morning to support me um... And give the house a thorough clean!

00:19:48: I mean i was cleaning but my father-in-law was cleaning the fans and The air condition event and My mother in law was cleaning this splash back underneath of the oven top.

00:20:03: the house has had a really good deep clean which it probably needed.

00:20:06: We have lived there for eight years, we've moved furniture around a couple of times and we've had the organizer come in when she did move everything.

00:20:16: but you're preparing your houses.

00:20:19: if I were coming to rent something and paid money how would i expect to see her home?

00:20:24: And so yeah...I think that's going back into our fresh feeling house!

00:20:33: And we will, as I say really...I wanted to move back in slowly and make sure everything's put in a kind of systemised organised way.

00:20:44: Kind of keep that going.

00:20:47: it is quite clean looking In terms not cluttered.

00:20:53: You know.

00:20:53: you just put the photo frame up with your little knick-knack.

00:20:57: The next thing there was meant be one bars like this pile.

00:21:01: just getting to have that reset has been a real gift.

00:21:05: Probably put way much more work on myself than I needed, but anywho!

00:21:10: The other thing i've been doing today which yeah was a bit frustrating is getting visas for Bali and so my fabulous wonderful idea about flying return to Bali returned to Delhi was like brilliant except we had to get visas and we have to pay for visa each time.

00:21:29: They don't do a multiple entry over few months unless you're doing like, a business visa or long-term visa which was a lot more expensive.

00:21:36: so were doing single entry And I did this last year and i just dont remember the process being quite so annoying but it was little bit...and when your very limited capacity already has alot of things on When somethings not working an admin is one my least favourite even though ive done many many visas in years I think also having to do three visas, mine my husbands and my sons.

00:22:00: And...I ended up going.

00:22:02: mm-mm!

00:22:02: I've done the process.

00:22:03: i now know what's required.

00:22:05: here are all of things you need..and my husband picked out the baton.

00:22:08: he is doing his and my son but....things like a headshot at this age not smiling where his passport photos can't find them in amongst their stuff.

00:22:18: so we have take photo him for to be ready for the visa.

00:22:23: The payment portal wouldn't work for my husband.

00:22:25: so, um... For me it was saying that wasn't working and then It came off of a card.

00:22:29: I got a message going your visas been granted And i was freaking out as well because..it could take days!

00:22:35: If you do something wrong You have start again or might pay again.

00:22:38: Um....and we're running at time anyway.

00:22:41: Literally like they said it can come through within an hour Or in one day.

00:22:45: It came thru no joke instantly As soon as I'd paid, which i didn't even realize had paid.

00:22:50: I opened up my email and it says here's your visa.

00:22:51: It's approved And it came straight through.

00:22:53: so very easy.

00:22:55: we still have to do an entry card for barley Probably tomorrow evening Which will apply for sunday or tomorrow anytime?

00:23:03: Seventy within seventy two hours and We'll have to Do the entry card For india on saturday Or sunday because its Within Seventy-two hours as well.

00:23:12: So these are different.

00:23:13: so there's a lot of documentation, and we already had our India visas.

00:23:17: that is all awesome.

00:23:19: But I'll be going through in just double checking packing passports.

00:23:22: i've got some currency here That I want to take over.

00:23:25: It's just a lot like things little things you have across checks.

00:23:32: it has been a big process.

00:23:36: It's all well and good to talk about something, a plan for something.

00:23:39: And then the realities of actually doing it.

00:23:41: so I hope me sharing this has helped you?

00:23:44: I hope my documenting is help too!

00:23:46: I do want go through those stories again... ...and sort-of do little bit of guide.

00:23:52: i'd love get back blogging.

00:23:54: be like here.

00:23:54: how you pack up your house for three months.

00:23:58: Here are some tips on finding place where we've marketed our house without doing Airbnb or whatever, how we've prepared.

00:24:10: How have been working through our finances and discussing like budgeting?

00:24:15: And you know...and then there's going to be the reality of actually doing it all.

00:24:18: so talking about it is all hypothetical!

00:24:20: I just know that its a hard thing right now with in between even being this room..being stuff thats half-packed.

00:24:32: Once we leave and you're doing all the what ifs, once we leave it's like well.

00:24:35: What's in the bag is what?

00:24:36: We got and... Once were there where they.

00:24:40: It's all just hypothetical.

00:24:41: at that moment I think we'll gonna take a big sigh breath of air fresh air when we get their.

00:24:47: But i'm also giving myself next week to be really really graceful And gives a lot ease to my self so will be bit light on.

00:24:58: I Think I'm certainly putting my out-of-office on next week just to give myself that buffer of time, uh...to replied.

00:25:05: To respond if i need that and um..just to help us settle in.

00:25:09: so it's a lot!

00:25:12: It's A LOT.

00:25:13: but you know the dream is real and I did a big message ,I did a video Um On Instagram And shared around LinkedIn and things like That this Week where I said I am Just So Grateful Everyone for Believing In My Dream.

00:25:26: The way that people have just showed up and said to me, like this is your dream.

00:25:30: I'm so excited for you.

00:25:31: You've been talking about these figures or you're always gone after things And my husband sent me Matt.

00:25:38: He sent me Like This little reel in.

00:25:40: it's one of those funny little kind of reels.

00:25:43: It was something About A parent saying a mother saying to her child I never gave up on My dreams because i took you along with Me.

00:25:54: So it's like, I didn't have to choose.

00:25:56: You don't...I don't know how to choose between India and my business?

00:26:01: I don't have two.

00:26:01: choose between travel and security.

00:26:05: I don' t have to chose between traveling home or freedom and structure Like you can both things-like a foundation And also this wonderful wanderlust.

00:26:23: It's exciting to make it be working for us and just that my husband is willing to go with me, supports me.

00:26:32: Shares in the dream!

00:26:33: My parents will miss out on this but they totally understand we're not going to stop them.

00:26:40: so they want to see us happy.

00:26:43: Just how friends, colleagues or randoms on the internet are just like... This was awesome.

00:26:48: you'd go Go to India and I just feel my heart is so drawn there.

00:26:54: And be able to share it with them, have business running their and has a lot of opportunity.

00:27:03: Yesterday was the eleven-eleven portal.

00:27:07: if you don't know look at what.

00:27:10: four ones in row they say looks like gateway or portal but also might see daily about alignment one One, one.

00:27:21: And yesterday was one-one-one because twenty-twenty six when you add up the numbers it's ten and in numerology there is no ten.

00:27:29: It goes on to nine and start again.

00:27:31: So last year was twenty twenty five two plus two plus five equals nine this years.

00:27:36: two plus Two Plus Six Equals Ten Equals One.

00:27:39: so its eleven Eleven One One One.

00:27:42: So much alignment!

00:27:44: I did a lot of journaling card and oracle in tarot pulling last night.

00:27:51: And I pulled a tarot card, it was like what will you take over the bridge?

00:27:59: Or What Will Help You Step Over The Bridge?

00:28:01: Into twenty-twenty seven?

00:28:02: so they said eleven eleven is gateway to portal to twenty twenty seven.

00:28:06: It's who your becoming its Who Your Stepping into.

00:28:09: and it Was Like What Are You Gonna Take?

00:28:10: Into Eleven Eleven.

00:28:11: and i pulled the full Tarot Card Which Is Card Zero Its First Card In The Deck which I pulled out and thought, oh my gosh the first card is The Fool.

00:28:20: Not realising not understanding Tarot but there's a sun shining down in this person being playful.

00:28:28: And...the fool isn't stupid!

00:28:30: The fool isn'y silly.

00:28:32: The fool is playful and curious what it says Doesn't really know what's ahead and doesn't know.

00:28:41: What's coming.

00:28:42: but they have the courage to take The first step, then you have the coverage To go even where?

00:28:47: They don't know what the result will be.

00:28:49: And I feel like the fool was how i started my business and How I started my journey and it has helped me a lot in My travel life and I Feel Like getting back to that Is the way to Go.

00:29:01: and so going into India.

00:29:02: I Don't Know how It's Gonna go I don't Know everything We're gonna do.

00:29:06: I think having the courage to do it anyway and having the curiosity, just see where it takes us is so exciting.

00:29:13: And the word that comes with that for me is play!

00:29:16: And i'm calling it early...it's the twelfth of November..I usually do this around the new year but my twenty-twenty seven work....my word So my twenty-twenty seven word is play.

00:29:33: My words this year were wildly successful and abundant, And in some ways I must laugh at myself but In other ways... ...I am successful!

00:29:42: And i'm so abundant that we are able to do This & That We Are So Supported In This & We Have So Much Love Around Us For This.

00:29:48: & Even I Am Sitting Here Looking At The Stunning View Over the Water Like Yes I May Not Own This Waterfront Apartment But We Have Access To It & We have SO Many People Offering Us Love & Support.

00:30:00: You Know We're not paying for a pet sitter that could be forty five dollars a day.

00:30:04: we have the abundance of friendship and generosity around us That somebody has taken our cat, and he's caring for him for the entire time.

00:30:11: We're going like.

00:30:12: that is abundance.

00:30:14: Like.

00:30:23: my loony bins like wild going in doing this trip.

00:30:26: Yes it's actually wildly successful an abundant.

00:30:30: Yes, what I was probably saying with that was like rolling in cash.

00:30:35: But if i want rolling and cash well then I should have said rolling-in-cash You know?

00:30:43: And there's some other caveats around the words to me but you can make it mean anything.

00:30:50: so...I'm going really simple for next year!

00:30:55: And I just want to ring play.

00:30:56: I wanna bring playback into life, Play back in my business.

00:30:59: Play means go.

00:31:01: it means go...I think there's so much fun We can have with play.

00:31:05: and um i can play With the word play.

00:31:07: So twenty-twenty seven play.

00:31:10: but This this trip this experience this time of my family It's its play and whenever things Get kind of carried away?
