I will be out of office until the end of October 2025. A blessing to have time to rest, though I do miss the days of PTO :) The way this year is flying is kinda insane.
I’ll still be working behind the scenes to make life a little easier for birthworkers & expectant families. I’ll be taking walks through my favorite spaces on Staten Island, catching up on Dexter with my son & celebrating the beginning of my daughter’s Saturn return, abroad (my August baby).
If you know me, you already know I’ll be somewhere diving with sharks, my playful friends.
On my last diving trip, I met a group of expats living their freest lives & I want to encourage you to live yours.
Friend, picture this, the average dive trip:
Wake up, watch the sunrise.
6:30 AM, you step out of your living room, twelve steps from the beach.
By 7:00, you’re on a boat sailing across the bluest water you’ve ever seen.
By 7:20 AM, you're 60-100 feet below the surface, in a quiet place where the only communication is energetic. The sea life demands your attention, they’re excited to show you around. There are no bills here. No Amazon drivers punting boxes at your front door. No crumbl.
By lunchtime, you’re exploring the city, eating fresh foods, still in your bathing suit & nobody’s trying to make it weird. No pssssst, psssssst. There’s so much freedom & camaraderie in diving, in exploring the world. This was the schedule of the expats I met.
Liberation is the resistance.
Wishing you a beautiful summer & fall. Please ignore the Halloween decorations, there’s time before school starts, drink it all in.
As always, remain empowered,
Anjanette
