Call Out To The Dreamers

Hi! Welcome to my blog! You may be curious what Project 31 is all about. I'd say it's about living a dream, reaching for a certain lifestyle. It's about the life I'm trying to build for myself and the person I'm striving to become. I do look at it like a project, it's a work in progress! It's a place to record my goals- a public dream board maybe? I'm a very goal orientated person but I've always focused on outer goals and this is more about whole goals if that makes sense. It's like a map of where I am now and where I hope to go. So here they are- my goals!

1. I want to travel. Anywhere, everywhere! I want to see my state, my country, and my world! I want to take a cruise. I'd love to go on a quirky road trip! Maybe something like a road trip where I drive to weird statues like a giant ball of yarn, a huge paper airplane, rabbits the size of houses? I don't know something just fun. Or a destinationless trip, just get in the car with the kids and the dogs and some camping gear, drive until we feel like stopping. No real destination in mind!

2. I want to build real, lasting relationships with people I love. I want TIME! Time with my kids, grandkids, husband, and friends. I've learned time is the most valuable thing we have. It's literally priceless! It passes so fast and once it's gone you can't ever get it back. So I want to build a life where I have plenty of time.

3. I want true peace and well being. peace within myself. True joy and happiness. Physical, spiritual, mental well being. I want to enjoy and appreciate the little things in life. Find the things that bring me real joy and do them and learn what steals my peace and avoid those things. I want to be more mindful, more purposeful. Stronger, kinder, more forgiving, more accepting, loving.

Those are my broad goals, that's the life I want to live. I want to sit under my tree with a cup of tea and a good book and listen to the birds, watch the dogs in the yard, hear my little ones laugh. I want to marvel at nature, see countries and cultures I've never seen.


The question is how do I achieve all this? How do I live this life when I still have to live life? How do I finance this lifestyle? In part it's simple, I don't desire riches, I don't crave fame or glory. I want a simple life but isn't it surprising how MUCH a simple life costs?? There are always bills to be paid, travel costs money, kids are expensive. That's where Project 31 comes in. My plan/ experiment to live happy. I hope you will join me on this journey! I hope to meet other travelers like me, travelers through life, fellow people who are living their dreams or just starting to piece those dreams together. I'm calling out to the dreamers, the planners, the quirky, the weird, the schemers, the shy, the unsure. Let's do this together! Let's build a community where we support and encourage each other's goals and dreams. After all, I think people all basically have the same goal- to be happy.
