Lynnelle is Moving to France: Lesson #1
|
People have been telling me for a YEAR, "You have to share this journey!" Reader, if you're like me going "Live" online isn't the most comfortable thing. Recording yourself, in general, is a chore. Still, I've chosen this path of sharing my journey back to myself after retiring... so, here 'goes. So many of you have said how much you admire, how much you'd like to do the same, how envious, how amazed... you are that I'm actually making the move. Long & Winding Road 🎶​If I'm completely honest... I'm proud too. A bit surprised, even. It has been - and continues to be a long, challenging road. But close enough. And so many of you have asked how I found the courage, how I found the place, why France, etc. etc. I decided to start telling the story. I'm planning on a couple of emails a week just on this journey. If you have no interest in my journey to France, you can Opt Out of the series by clicking this link & stay connected to the community. Otherwise, here's the first post. ​ On the Road Again 🎶​I'm posting these updates to the private BOLD-Women Facebook Group first. When I get time, I'll also be adding them to YouTube. But make sure you're part of the private group on FB because I'm hitting the road moving from Charleston back to Austin this Thursday. It will be a week or so before I can update YouTube from here on. Send me any questions or anything in particular you'd like to know about this journey of mine. Thank you for being along for the ride. xo Lynnelle "On the Long and Winding Road Again" Wilson PS - Much of the virtual 3-Day woman's circle / retreat in May was created based on my experience in getting to this place. May 22, 23, & 24. Mark your calendar. More details coming first week of May. If you're on the road to finding yourSELF and your next chapter, you won't want to miss it. Save the dates.​

Hi! I'm Lynnelle!
Chief Cheerleader and Guide of the BOLD-Women Community.
Pigs Are Flying What's Your France? It's just you and me, Reader. If you could, without any risk of loss or failure, what would you do differently tomorrow? That's Crazy Talk There's risk in anything you do, so the "without any risk" thing isn't real. BUT, understanding the risks and your boundaries makes the risk calculated. It's not some terrifying monster ready to kill you and all your kittens. You're not crazy to be aware that there are risks in stepping out, doing something new,...
Surrender Surrendering for Joy & Fulfillment I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my flight back to Austin, the final ending to my intentional year in Charleston, SC. There are many lessons and experiences I'll carry with me, and most of them - if not - boil down to surrendering to what is. It's Not Giving Up Surrendering to what is doesn't mean you don't try or you don't care. You're not giving up your agency, your choice, or your responsibility. It's more that you accept life and what it...
Lesson #2 Preparing For France is Like Getting a Divorce. Oh, wait. I did get a divorce. (final April 2, 2024 - thank you very much.) But still... even taking that nasty fact out of the equation, the amount of sifting, sorting, and tossing is a practice in letting go unlike anything else. Reader, even as much as you know that "It's just stuff.", you've attached so much meaning to it, the thought of tossing any of it rips your heart out. You Know --"The Stuff" The box of photo albums you've...
