Desiring to Relocate, Really its not you guys, its this country.

I love my life, family, friends in VA and the states, but more and more I'm desiring to move out of this country, or find a place where I can live simply, with out killing my purse. Seriously I would put you all up if you ever need a vacation and we are living somewhere other then the US, because WE WORK LONGER HOURS THEN THE JAPANESE! As the hibachi guy that served us this weekend said the last samurai was indeed an american white guy. I think its an amazing thing to be passionate about what you do, how you are contributing and servicing through your talent, sweat, and work ethic to benefit others life. To be part of a chain for greater good, to serve the economy. To make money doing all this. Though really when is enough? When do say, really this is all I need. But do you say this is all you need, and then have no time for your family, your personal life your sanity. I'm an artist, illustrator, graphic designer, web designer, and business owner. I am also a mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and at moments. I'm just simply Victoria, where I find these rare moments of just appreciating myself, is on the yoga mat. I also find these moments when I lit and inspire a fellow peer like me, and when my girl friends can talk to me and cry their eyes out, and I'm there for them. When a client and I are both growing and learning together. When I hear the stress on the phone with my mother and I help transform it. When I'm there for my daughter when she cries out for me. When my husband almost shed a tear this past weekend, when I made a toast during dinner. I guess what I'm saying, here is work, it will be done, bills will be paid, money will come, our life no matter how much money we desire to make, will be made. I know its a gutsy way of trusting, to tell my inner worrier, that this culture has embedded it in me that I'm freaking crazy. But we have a choice. We contribute to what we love and believe in, and it will unfold back to you. That I can absolutely promise you, because it happened to me many times. So yes I am thinking about relocating, though its been years, I actually moved to Virginia Beach as a temporary stop. I met my husband here, bought a house, started my studio, and with a 2 year old and our dog we move as a small compacted unit. Our small tuscan suv pack us up  perfectly for a long weekend. Well talking about overworked weekends, my husband will be taking off 10 days, he has saved up his vacation days, and reminded him to use it before it runs out. Yes, thats how hard he works, he forgot that he actually can take off. So I'm looking foward to finally go kayaking with him, taking some yoga classes with him. He is also doing some personal clearing of all his old clothes, and stuff in the garage. So I'm excited to feel a newer him transform during these 10 days. Maybe we can finally dream together a bit more on a new possible location..
