Oh wow! That’s amazingly brave of you Rae, for making such a major move – from a packed city life to a tiny house in the woods! I myself live in a little house in the woods, and I love it, despite some of its surprises! As for your fears, they’re very understandable, not knowing what you’re getting into – but that’s the only way you can find out right? I do believe that when you’re fully, completely yourself, (not trying to fit in or wearing a mask to look like everyone else), you carry an energy that’s strong and powerful that can draw people to you – the right people who are attracted to that energy. I sincerely hope your dream works out for you, and that you find peace and fulfillment in your new home in the woods.

Welcome Rae to the world of no attachments!

Congrats on making such a decision! I am in the same boat…33 years old…no job for 4 months now, no extracurricular stuff, no kids, moved to a quieter part of town…in a relationship now but not married. I will say that there are days that I feel lonely because all my friends are working….but it’s so wonderful that I can actually enjoy the beach during the day…I can enjoy a long homemade breakfast in my pj’s….do whatever I like.

With regards to a job or career…I would say just keep your heart and mind open. You can always sell art on etsy or the local market. If you run into a situation where you are running low on funds, you can always barter housekeeping or playing music at a local restaurant for food or some quick cash. I always think that I can work at a coffee shop if I am desperate.

It is scary…but it is through these experiences that we can learn about our true authentic self and find out what is truly important to us. True joy and happiness comes from within & not externally.

I wish you the best of luck!
Jennifer
