my future-casting method
and a bit of my delirious dream
Enclosed within is a snapshot of what my life will look like in the next 5 years and how I plan on getting there. This is also my future casting process in a nutshell and I will write more in depth about this soon! ❥
I had an excellent weekend celebrating hub’s birthday with my in-laws and eating yummy food. We even day dreamed with them about bringing the family farm back to life.
During that time, I was struck by how abundant in nature my life is.
A big chunk of Saturday was spent outside playing disc golf and an even larger chunk of time on Sunday in the woods scoping out the property at my in-laws’ family farm.
The landscaping has grown wild and free due to lack of maintenance and manicuring making it extremely difficult to walk through without vines and underbrush grabbing your feet and ankles. I tripped about a thousand times and was cut and poked and scratched by briars and thorns.
Nature on the property is untamed and unkempt and as beautiful as ever. It is now unlivable and has overtaken the farmhouse on the property. The roof has caved in, the elements having their way with the little amount of furniture left inside. There is evidence of mice and squirrels in the cupboards and a ton of work that needs to be done.
(Those last two paragraphs might just inspire a new poem 🤭)
If you don’t know, the reason why we moved back to Alabama from New York is to hopefully build our little dream farmhouse on this 40 acre property. It’ll be about 1200 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a porch that wraps around and is partially screened in, a wood burning stove, and a lofted area.
So, we sold our home in NY and have brought in over $150k since November of 2022 and we are set to bring in even more in the coming months (even though hubs doesn’t have a job at the moment and yes, that was the plan all along).
We have about $100k in cash left after paying off credit card debt and investing some into our brokerage accounts and this is what we will be using to build our cute little cottage in the woods. Not all in cash, but to leverage to get a loan and make a down payment.
Hubs wants to bring the orchard back to life, have chickens in the hen house, and grow produce. He really just wants to play in the dirt and I joke a lot that he wants to frolic through the fields.
Isn’t that the cutest fucking thing you ever heard?
I want that vision for him. I don’t how strongly he holds onto it but I’m holding onto it for the both of us. I don’t necessarily believe that I can manifest it for him, but I can encourage him to take the steps to making it a reality for himself.
The vision I have for myself while he plays is to have a thriving business where the money is flowing more than it already is, my relationship to money is throbbing 🥵 more than it already is, and my connection to myself is deeper and truer than it already is.
I am so open to more, more, more.
Business feels great, AND I know there are more clients, more opportunities, more challenges, more hardships, and more money to come.
I’m ✨ excited ✨ for the lessons and tears to come. I am obsessed with expansion (if you haven’t noticed).
But a booming business isn’t all I see in my vision of the future.
Long nature walks around 40+ acres of land, feeding chickens, slow living, naked sunning in the afternoons, and lots of cherished intimacy with my lover all pepper that vision.
Part of the way I future-cast is to blur as many lines as I can between then and now. Smooth out the difference between future and present. And by being so unbelievably delirious and confident that it will happen for me. But not shoving down the doubt, working with the doubt to show me what kind of gremlins are lurking that need to be loved (and maybe spanked 😏) extra hard.
