As I write this, I’m at the final stretch of my road trip I’ve been on since May 4th.  I’m currently in Colorado, actually visiting Rita for the first time.  Tomorrow I head back to the Midwest, stopping in Kansas, then to my parents’ place in Northern Missiouri.

Being on the road has stretched me and taught me quite a bit so far!  I felt a bit of anxiety at times, feeling “far from home” and far from what I know.  Mostly, the result I’ve found of this trip is that I really want to start “showing up more” with regard to a few things in my life in particular.

1.  My Health and Fitness
I think I stayed at a “satisfied” point for too long.  Thinking to myself, “You’ve lost 70 pounds, so who are you to want MORE at this point in life?”  What a horrible voice in my head that I need to just squash.  I think being on the road has taught me that my greatest asset is my health.  The stronger and healthier I am, at any stage of my life, the better I can be.  Plus I want to be more inspiring to other men in my age group who are needing to make a health change.

2.  Finances and Income
Again, last year, I made the most I’ve ever made in my business ever, but I’ve felt stagnant since then.  I think it’s still part of that “old voice” that tells me I’m unworthy of wanting more.  The truth is, and I know this, that as my own boss, my income is completely dependent on ME.  I set my rates.  I choose my business offerings.  I choose innovation or stagnation.  I’m wanting an upgrade now, because I think after 10 years of working for myself, I want more of it, and it’s time to give myself total permission for the Universe to reward me if it so chooses.

3.  Friends and Relationships
I so wish I could take everyone I’ve met along this trip home with me.  I’m finding that I completely enjoy the interaction with friends over my phone, facebook, etc. while on this solo journey.  I need to surround myself more with wonderful people and not seclude myself.  Maybe I’m ready for a relationship again.. or maybe just dating… who knows.  But I’m looking for more.

All in all, I’m a little homesick too.  I’m looking for more.  To be more, and to be better in a very authentic way.  I’ve found that I’m a total Midwesterner, and I love that.  I guess this is what Cosmic Journeys are for – to stretch you out, where you can find yourself once again!

Blessings to all,
Scott
