About Me

I'm Aja the person behind the blog! I took a risk and decided to ditch everything we hated to pursue everything that lit us up. That led to long term travel, closer connection with my son and challenging us in many ways. This blog is our journey through all of that. I'm putting it all out here in hopes of inspiring you to live your best life...on no one's terms but your own.

I’m honored to have been nominated as a SOCAP Global ‘Game-Changing Founder of Color’ for 2020 for my book The Path to Freedom!

Earlier in the year we made a visit to the Mexican Consulate, here in Atlanta, with the aim of obtaining temporary residency. The first appointment was a bust and I had to walk out before I burst! (Their reason for declining me was absurd.)

Something I’ve had to learn this year is to slow down but not in the typical ways you think. I never prided myself on busyness. I wasn’t running from event to event. My son’s activities didn’t dominate our weekends. I actually prided myself in only doing things that excited us, saying no to what didn’t, limiting my son’s extra-curricular activities to 1 a season so I thought I was functioning at a good pace.

Sometimes you need some humor. Today is one of those days (for me, at least). There are times when I’m traveling and I see something that makes me say “what the hell??” This was one of those things and I insisted on getting a picture with it because…yep, just because. I was scrolling through my pictures today and it made me laugh so I thought I’d share it with you.

This year has been a beast. I've come to understand/realize/learn that majority of my life I've operated in fear. Clearly, I knew this to some extent (I mean, you see the name of the blog) but not to the depths that it exists within me. This has been a year of unearthing, understanding, expressing and renewing. It's been hard. Like really, REALLY hard and I'm not even including the pandemic in that statement.

I miss these days. Learning on the beach while relaxing and letting the sun and salt air embrace us. Not a day passes that I don’t reminisce on being abroad and Worldschooling.
