Jada, great read, as usual. As I read this it seemed similar to the idea that the more we live as Nature does, the more simple, healthy and free we can become. I mean, when you think about it, nothing in Nature is constantly rushing, always distracted, taking on far too much, or trying to be something it’s not. I love the ideas of seasons, climates and the full experience of birth, growth and death. I also think that simplicity is a doorway into a life more aligned with what real and natural. Don’t mind me, Jada, I’m just thinking out loud!
Thank you for your comment! I couldn't agree more in tying our lives with the seasons of Nature as our greatest teacher. I love how you phrased "simplicity is the doorway into a life more aligned...". Beautiful. So accurate. I very much appreciate the "thoughts out loud"!
Thanks, I really enjoyed reading this. We loved watching the Blue Zones program but hadn’t thought about how to integrate that way of life into our next life chapter now we’re working less.
Thank you for your comment Alisoun! It was such an interesting program to watch and then sift through for us! It was a large point of conversation around what designing our life could look like if we dared to be willing to let go of our current life. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great newsletter Jada and much to consider. Something I intuitively feel keeps me 'young' is my curiosity and desire to learn. We're in the van this week, specifically to spend each day walking in the countryside, but we're in a place steeped in history (lead/limestone mining/mills) and it's fascinating to imagine how people lived in this area a few centuries ago. Also, walking 10-12 miles a day, just for the joy of moving and being outside in the beautiful landscape is so different from the organised training I used to do. Hope we live many more years of nomadic life 🙂 Karen
This sounds fascinating Karen! I literally just got back from a 7-mile walk in the sunshine myself along the coast and into a historic fishing village for a Mother's Day lunch :) It is a shift in perspective for sure where movement is weaved into the day seamlessly with living our lives... Nourishing our mind, body, soul, and hearts all in one. Here's to many more!

Yes, you’ve inspired me to watch it again with that perspective.
Awesome! I should watch it again too to see how many practices I am incorporating now that we are in Portugal!

Absolutely!
