Hey! I'm Judy. My husband Donovan and I are on the hunt for our next house/community/state as we enter into our next phase in life. Feel free to follow us! It's going to be fun. Or, just really, really, stressful.
Finally watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for the first time. I'm 44.

Want to shatter generational curses?
Pay attention to your body.
Take it to therapy.
Take it outside.
Take it to the hospital, dentist, optometrist, and wherever else it needs to go.
Take care of it and it will take care of you.

- bike-able
- walkable
- diverse
- entrapenural in spirit
- is a bit cooler in the summer
...tell me why you think she's right.

My husband and I are thinking of moving. We live in a good place, and we have some ideas of what our future could look like. That requires moving. That's inspired me to share our journey. This account will focus on that journey. If midlife, travel, and community is your thing, feel free to follow!

Yesterday, I learned about the concept of a 15 minute city, where regardless of where you live, you should have access to some form of healthcare and grocery store within a 15 minute walking distance. Gotta do more research!
