Julie and Stuart on the road However I got frustrated. No matter what we did it just seemed to take SO LONG! We were both doing jobs we didn’t enjoy, working long hours for little pay, and were exhausted. It was a struggle. Finally, after several months of progressing slowly, I threw my hands up and said ‘I’ve had enough of this – there must be a better way!” Although I was excited about our travel plans I was not enjoying the present moment, and my soul would not allow me to continue doing something that was not my purpose in life. So I decided that although we didn’t know how we were going to do it, we were going to get married AND we were going to travel AND I was going to earn plenty of money doing something I love AND we were going to do it quickly! I am aware that many people will say ‘Julie, you are off your head – that just isn’t possible in reality’ (in fact they did!) and our circumstances certainly didn’t lend themselves to this dream becoming a reality for us. I can understand why people would say that. And yet I just knew deep down that this was going to happen for us. It had to. ZENSPIRATION.ORG 95
