I didn't think I would have to make this video, but here it is. This video will explain why I've been gone for so long. I hope everyone is doing well. Big hugs wherever you are.

@@marvhan888 Because some people are tired of the glib, pop psychology! The 'dont worry, be happy' style mantras that sound good, but are lacking. But there is a better way to address people's resistance without just calling it out 'you are so negative!" You did a very nice job addressing the living in Portugal aspect! I have met MANY wonderful Portuguese people here in the States, and many fled the old Dictator and never returned, while some made their fortune here and retired back in Portugal! but its a poor country! thats why it has been a great vacation destination for so many!

@fatwoman87 Год назад

I am 'old' and I will tell you, it is always okay to change your mind. The biggest regrets I have are following a path because I didn't want to look silly by changing my mind. I also had great experiences in Portugal, but know I wouldn't want to live there :)

I’m writing this with tears . . . not of sadness but of gratitude. I clicked on your video because of seeing Portugal in the title. I was born in Lisbon and grew up in Toronto, Canada (I immigrated with my parents when I was one year old). Your description of living in Portugal resonates with me. I am planning to retire to Portugal in a few years. What awaits me is an unknown adventure. Wishing you, your husband and dogs all the best in your new adventure. I’ve subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing what the future has in store ❤️

But after seeing this I feel comforted that things can change any second, it's better to just surrender and let life take you where it wants to. Thank you for your vulnerability. Returning to Hawaii feels like returning home, and the videos will be like before again. I like how you capture nature. Take care.

@JulieWatches Год назад

Thank you for sharing this with us! It reminded me that life isn't neat and predictable. I was in a similar situation, but with my career. I spent two years preparing for a career change, only for me to return to my original profession for practical and mental health reasons. I thought I failed horribly and my life was a mess, but looking back, I wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for those detours and delays. I know "going back" to the places or situations we thought we said goodbye to isn't exactly easy! So hang in there and trust that you are indeed where you need to be and you are being prepared for greater things!

@valeriah.4048 Год назад

You know certain things in life are simply a season and I have learned that it‘s still equally a part of me and equally fulfilling as if it were to be in my life forever. Ironically, for me moving abroad intensified my love for my home country and my desire to branch out my roots here again. I can now be at home actually feeling at home, because I know the dream of living abroad became my reality and therefore part of me. Now, I feel a deep sense of peace and serenity.🙌🏻💫 you are brave!

@augidogi1 Год назад

First of all, congratulations to your husband. I could go on about how fortunate you both were to have the opportunity to live abroad but you seem to have a pretty good grasp of that. And like you said, another opportunity will present itself someday. So keep living your life and keep making good decisions and things will turn out very well for you both. It’s said that the two saddest words that can be said by someone are “if only”. Your outlook on life shows that you will never need to utter them.
