I just painted my toenails and I am waiting for them to dry so we can head out on the road again. This time we are headed to Levi's Granny's house for the weekend. We are headed there for Mamaw's funeral services.
Today, a young girl I know posted a meme on Facebook that said something about how if you stop eating out everyday, you could afford to travel.
I went back to look for the meme, but couldn't find it anymore (whomp whomp).
Anyways, instantly someone had to jump all over this little meme demanding to know if this pertains to someone making minimum wage, or only to someone who makes $15 an hour. Does the money they save go toward hotel stays and food on the trip? And THEN they went on to say that they basically they only eat at home but can't afford to travel and yadda yadda yadda....spreading their negativity and doubts all over the place so that they can continue to make excuses about why they don't travel...and I guess why they figure no one else can.
Well, here it is folks.... I make $160 a week IF I AM LUCKY.
I do this cleaning toilets. (Well cleaning houses that have toilets lol, and I love it!)
I eat out occasionally, but mostly I eat at home.
BUT, The the real reason I am able to travel is...because I make traveling a priority in my life.
I have moved into a bus to save money on housing. I have chosen a "job" that where I can chose my own schedule. I have given up other things in my life that allow me to afford to travel and do more of the things I enjoy. When I travel, I stay in cheap hotels or I travel on off seasons. I homeschool my kids so that they can travel and see the world. I bring my own food when I travel. If I can stay with family, then I do. I drive instead of fly if I can....
I make the choices that will better help me get to my destinations.
Pick your priorities and quit making excuses, and you can do more of the things you love too!
(This blog is also a note to myself. Earlier today I was having one of those, "Am I Ever Really Going to Change The World?" moments, while wondering through the store also pondering if I will get on The People of Walmart webpage for my lack of fashion sense or my lack of patience with my children lol.)
I want to see the world. I want to change the world. I want to do something big! I see people all around me doing big things, and it is time for me to stop wondering how they do it, and just do it. I have to make it my true priority.
Stop making excuses Kelly!!! You CAN and WILL do this. For Elijah <3
Alright guys, it is time for me to head out on the road. Love you all. Have a peaceful and beautiful afternoon.
Please keep praying for our world. Pray for our country. Pray for my family. Pray for me. Pray for you! And always always pray for my sweet Elijah.
Thank you.
You are a huge priority.
You are my guiding light.
We will figure it out my boogie.
We will change the world with your love and kindness.
I love and miss you so much.
Always.
<3
