Let me start off by saying that we are in a wonderful place in our lives. This hasn’t been a road lined with daffodils and puppies but more like barbed wire and alligators. But, today, here we are. We live simply, we live abundantly and we live a life we are satisfied in. Our story is one of many, I’m hoping, and we often sit back at the end of a day and wonder “How did we ever get this lucky?”

The “we” in this situation is myself (Montana) and my girl (Cat). We have known each other for about 10 years now as we worked together at a small company at that time. Since then we’ve “seen” each other’s activities on LinkedIn or Facebook but never really kept in touch. All that changed in December last and we’ve been a couple since. How this happened we’re still not too certain but we are not who we were 10 years ago and grateful for it as we have both grown so much and have found ourselves before we “saw” each other.

Today we are living in SoCal in a 27 foot RV. This is our choice. Our monthly overhead is very minimal. We don’t have “jobs” as some would describe it. However, we travel in our RV to get away from our vacation lifestyle. We are creating a decent income. We live better and have more options than most of our friends who are burdened with mortgages and car payments. We are debt free. We owe no one. We are here, or over there on a whim.

Our life goal is to promote a life of Freedom to others. We want other folks to live with the options that we have. We can work as we need, move about as we want or just park at a beach for a few days and do nothing. In all of this Not Doing we are promoting the words and works of Gandhi, Buddha and the gurus. We teach words of love, joy, hope, peace and freedom.

We love our life. We love each other. We watch those around us grind themselves into the ground each day and barely squeak by. It breaks our hearts. We did it. We left the hamster wheel behind and live a much more exciting life.

I’m not selling anything. This isn’t a build up for “buy my stuff” don’t think that because I have nothing to sell you. Just do one thing for yourself each day. Spend 5 minutes envisioning a new better life. Define it. Picture it. Figure out the details of it. No limitations. Buddha says “what you think you will become”. I know this is true. This is how we went from jobs we hated barely making enough to get through a month to having money in the bank, optional work opportunities and the Freedom we longed to have.

Define your dream, then live it.
