Introducing the Katie Lawson world Tour!

Let’s catch everyone up. I sold my grandparents house. It still doesn’t feel real. I got the hell out of Arkansas. I love it but it does not love me and that’s ok. Now, I’m visiting friends in Jacksonville Florida. I moved all of my stuff here and put it in storage. I decided to put it here because I want to go on a big adventure across the sea. After losing pretty much my whole family inside of three years, I decided I need to get out of here for a while and maybe even permanently. Mindy is happily living in Wyoming with her friends and seems to love it there. With that, it feels even more appropriate to go do something completely different. I even decided to give Pearl to a friend. It was very hard and I still cry all the time about it but she is with a friend that has land and another dog that Pearl is already in love with so I’m sure she doesn’t even miss me.

I have always wanted to do something like this. Even as a kid I made my own travel agency at my mom’s school. I planned trips and taught my friends about other countries. I love having the freedom to do this. It’s definitely not for everyone. I’ve had a couple of friends say they would not like to travel alone to another country. After living alone in the woods for years and being so sad, solo travel feels like winning a jackpot. For now, this blog will be how I keep people up to date with where I’m at and what I’m doing. I am excited to meet new friends and see new places. I’m excited to work with clients from other parts of the world and collaborate on new projects. I’m grateful to have this opportunity even through grieving of the loss of my family and my grandparent’s home that was the only real home I’ve ever had. I want to make it count. I feel them with me. I know they would love that I’m doing something they would think was crazy. I actually think my granny would have loved to travel to other countries. I miss them all dearly. I really wish I could talk to my mom about this. I miss that house. It’s a lot. I don’t think that will ever leave. But if you can’t have your dead family, at least have a big adventure… is what I always say. Hahaha. That sort of dark humor is probably not going to come off like it’s meant to through the written word but that’s your problem. I know I’m joking as a coping mechanism. My granny said that “You may as well laugh as cry.” Very southern. Anyway, get on board. We laugh at our pain sometimes in this blog.

Here’s to new adventures.

Here are some pictures from Arkansas to Florida.
