Due to our Landlord violating city codes my husband and I suddenly became homeless and had to live off the charity of our family and friends for 6 months. It gave me a different perspective on the life I had been taking for granted and gave me time to reasses my priorities. This time we spent without a home or car made us realize things are fleeting and we asked ourselves if we were really living or just existing. It was during this time we decided to make some changes in our life. We spent the next 18 months selling everything we owned, banking all the money we could and moved to Mexico with our dog, clothes and whatever personal belongings could fit into our Jeep.
Since being homeless different points of life have become more evident.
- If we are not living we are simply waiting to die.
- Life is exactly what you put into it.
- The amount of effort given equals the amount of result.
- Having goals gives us purpose and without purpose we feel depressed.
- There is no perfect way to do anything.
- We are all the same but different.
- Stuff is exactly that, stuff.
- I long to see more and be more.
- Your perception is exactly that, your perception.
- Everyone desires to be heard and we all need to listen more.
- Observe your surroundings and you will pick up so much more.
- Life is sweet and ugly.
- We are lucky if we get one person to love and what we get in return is to watch them die.
- Love everyone that meets you. Give that love away again and again.
- Life changes at the drop of a dime.
