Financial and lifestyle resources to help you live life on your terms.
As I hinted at in late 2017, I’m venturing into uncharted territory. What territory? Video.
As of this writing, I’ve filmed five videos for another one of the channels I’m setting up* and I’m learning to edit to, hopefully, put out a finished product that’s not too painful or amateurish to watch.

Read MoreOne aspect of my professional life I don’t write about much on Free to Pursue, other than a vague hint of it here and there, is that my husband and I run a personal and small group physical training facility out of our home on a part-time basis. Since coming out of the FIRE writer closet in November 2016, despite some struggles in doing so, I see little reason not to offer some of the insights into successful living that I’ve gained from nearly a decade of experience as a personal trainer, especially having read my friend David's article on this very concept (thanks for the reminder David).

They're now helping me move to the edge of the platform because my ankles are secured with tight straps around two thick layers of folded towels to protect my legs from the jarring they're about to receive. My toes are over the edge, I look out over the Zambezi river and then I hear it..."3-2-1...BUNGEE!"
Read MoreFear can be both a powerful motivator and lead to inaction...at the same time!
We all experience fear in our lives, though our level of exposure varies. We all know the sweaty palms, racing heart, butterflies or nausea that accompanies it. No one is immune to it. It's just something we have to deal with and we all do it in different ways.
