Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard!

Hello everyone! It has been a year since I last updated this blog and well, that makes me sad. So I am going to try to do better. Not for the reason that you might think. Yes, I would like to provide fresh insight and news about my life and what I think about it in general, BUT what I really want to do is document and keep track of all the small and large moments that make life, LIFE!
In my last post I spoke about change and growth and what Dan and I were doing to accomplish this in big ways in our life. We have since left our day jobs and have had a completely stellar first year out on our own with our Web and Graphic Design Joomla based business, Pixel Point Creative. I love this business. It is more than that to Dan and I. It is and has become our passion. For the past few years we have worked SO HARD and loved every minute of it. A great quote I just heard recently and it so applies is: "Find what you love to do most and you will never 'work' another day in your life." I truly feel this is what we have found. This kind of little everyday utopia. It's quite fantastic really.
So on that note another part of this dream has been realized as well. When Dan and I travel we always dream about our life and what we want to to become so let me take you back for a moment. October 2008, driving on our way home in our Volvo station wagon from Myrtle Beach, SC, we brought Pixel Point Creative to a whole new level. We came up with policy, strategy, goals, business philosophy. It was awesome. Like Jerry Maguire awesome. This is when and where Pixel Point Creative's future was shaped. We love and cherish that day. We also, on this wonderful road trip, decided that we would spend our snowy Pennsylvania winters in sunny Florida. Because of the nature of our business we can work ANYWHERE we want to. So that is what we have done. We put the vision out there, we put the energy out there and worked super hard and VOILA, we are here. Dream realized. We are here until April 7, 2012. We couldn't be more pleased. Truly. We have been learning French, eating clean, visiting with family and friends, enjoying the sun, accomplishing fitness and health goals. WOW! It has been seamless, really. We thought we might feel overwhelmed by all of this change but no, we have welcomed it with open arms! We are on an adventure and we intend to get everything we possibly can out of it. We have a lovely and spacious condo near Tampa, Fl. So far we have traveled to 13 different areas of Florida. Up and down the Gulf Coast and over to central Florida. We have gone golfing and disc golfing, ripped up Disney (Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom with some great friends, more on that later) So many adventures and so many more to go! Not just here either! We plan to keep the momentum going and truly LIVE our LIVES to the fullest in Erie too! We thought we were, but we weren't even coming close. That's okay though we are ready to be out with the old habits and in with the new from here on out!

That is all for now but stay tuned for more on the trip down here with two cats in a VW Rabbit, and what we have done so far in the next post. Pictures too!
