A couple weeks ago “Standby” Cotter (aka the hubs) decided he changes some plans. Of course he asked me first, but to me honest, I really did not think He would follow through with. I know, bad wife. I was supportive though.
A little over a week ago we received an email confirmation with our airline tickets. They had been purchased.
Whoa..
We are really going.
And we did.
(my go to travel companions. Gt Kombucha and Go PICNIC GF travel meals)
with a quick layover…..
And a final hop over to an island……
An opportunity arose, we took it. Now let’s hope for some smooth sailing during these next 2 weeks.
Life will resume when we get back to the states. Healthy Bite orders will definitely be happening again, no doubt! But for now, I might be a little disconnected…. we shall see.
Off to sharpen my Sherpa skills.
What opportunities are you taking these days? Do you wait and think through them or just go for it?
Cheers from the Bahamas!

Man, I LOVE how you guys take chances and last-minute deals and are so flexible!! Have an AWESOME TIME!!
I’ve never been to any islands, period. I’m not a “beach person” really- but man- I could probably use a vacation like that. Can’t wait to stalk you on Instagram during your trip!

It really depends. I think some things to death, but others, I just plunge in without thinking enough. I like to think that is my version of “balance.”

I am in the middle of taking a BIG opportunity for the fall–it’s scary, and I am thinking about it, but really there’s no contemplation. Sometimes you just know what you have to do!
