Wow what a brave move. I fully understand the desire to make such a change. It's great that you had the guts to do it.
I believe that the very things that we feel are trials or hardships often give us the impetus to drive us to the difficult changes that make a real difference in our lives.
The wife and I had similar choices to make when we were both in good secure corporate positions in a major city in South Africa.
We dicided to take the plunge and leave that world, which was not making us happy, and start a little farm in a dry and hot area in the Western Cape,
Were still in the starting phase, and were still scared, BUT were happy and fulfilled and know that this is the right choice for us and our kids.
These hard choices are the important ones...all the best to you with yours :)
Oh my God @towjam, what a wonderful story!! I'm so glad you made a change in your life, too. Even if we have "everything" at home, we might now be happy. So what does "everything" worth if the most important thing is not ours: HAPPYNESS.
I was so glad to read your story, thank you very much for sharing with me, and thank you for your kind words, too.
I wish you all the best, LOVE and HAPPYNESS :)
Thank you!! We are really nervous and excited still, but I'm sure it will pay off on the important things just as yours will.
All the best to you that side!
