    In this vlog I leave Central Portugal and head down to the Algarve. A series of fortunate unfortunate events throws me off my path. This gets me to think about my new life in Portugal and how to design a different life to the one I left behind.

    Luise, long ago, I took an experiential class in how to use affirmations to create what I wanted. What I created during that class was so powerful and full of not-to-be-believed synchronicities that it was scary. A side lesson was, in the midst of adversity, to ask myself, "What good will come of this?" Looks like you have just learned similar lessons. Congratulations!

    Luise,
    I TOTALLY GET IT! We always want things to go how we envision them in our heads, but often times, the Universe has other plans. The best laid plans, and all that. The hardest part is while in the midst of things not going your way, is to let GO, enjoy the journey anyway, and know that the universe has got your back. (It’s what I tell myself anyway). The health retreat sounds like something to add to my PT bucket list. Until next video.

    ☺️ I relate to your experience. Thinking you’re life is fixed onto one path and you ‘ hating ‘ every minute of it but then you realize you are the one not daring to change and explore that other route. Almost getting fired gave me the incentive to start looking elsewhere and now I’m starting a whole new career at the age of 54 😂 I think you were being guided ( not religiously but you know….) and maybe check out Alentejo ✅ my favorite part of Portugal 🇵🇹 Boa sorte

    Great to recognise the synchronicities in life Luise …
    Wishing you continuous flow and no more eddy pools for a wee while
    … but recognise these wee pools are allowing us breathing time to catch up with ourselves
    … to know this is one thing but when these barriers present themselves, I too get frustrated and try to paddle frantically out of the eddy pool, when exhausted I then relearn to lay back and trust my life’s flow again …

    I'm definitely with you on that one Louise, l truly believe we get guidance from somewhere, it's up to us which path we take. Horrible things have happened in my life but, from those challenges I've found myself in places l can't even begin to imagine I'd take myself too. At this moment in time, I've sold a holiday place in Turkey, l have my UK home up for sale but that appears to be taking its time... is this because what is right for my next move hasn't shown its face yet... I'm thinking so. I've talked about going to Portugal, NEVER Algarve, too touristy but I'm starting to see it isn't what my head thought it would be... who knows where I'll end up but l do feel sure, wherever it is, it will be right for me.... This video has further excited me to the future holds for me, thanks for sharing 🙏

      Hi Alice,
      Interested to know why,If I could, you sold your holiday place in Turkey and I’ll tell you why. After watching many videos on CZcams I’ve become obsessed with the idea of settling in Alanya/Antalya.However,hearing that you’ve sold Turkey to move somewhere else makes me wonder as to whether I should still persevere with the idea of my intended move.
      Your honest thoughts will be much appreciated.

      No I don't think Algarve is too touristy you can't judge the whole region by a few parts. There's no doubt SOME of it is like Disney Land. You feel like you are in the Truman Show walking round some neighbourhoods!
