Are You an Anywhereist (Or Do You Want to Be?)
Do you want to be an Anywhereist? What does it mean, anyway? Do you want to:
- Live anywhere in the world you want, for as long or short a time as you want?
- Live full-time as an expat in another country?
- Travel full time?
- Get away from harsh winters but still keep your home base in the community you’re in now?
- Explore someplace new for a month or two — longer than your vacation time allows?
- Stay in your home and community because you’re happy there, but you’re working remotely or running your own online business?
If so, you’re an Anywhereist!
Is Your Photo Collection Giving You Nightmares? Here’s How to Get it Under Control
When my husband and I were getting ready to move to Panama ten years ago, dealing with family photos was far and away my most difficult downsizing task. How could I organize my out-of-control photo collection?
We had photos in frames, in albums, in boxes, and in envelopes from developer.
And somehow, I had to organize them in such a way that we could move overseas without losing any treasured family memories.
At the end of December, I was fascinated to talk with professional photo organizer Marci Brennan. Together with her husband, photographer Chris George, she helps people edit and organize their photo collections (physical and digital).
They shared their tried-and-true approach, and threw in tons of tips and tools you can use to organize your own photo collection.

Need Travel Documents? Make it Easy on Yourself
Thanks to COVID and its many variants, travel today is even more complicated than it used to be. Fortunately there’s a simple way to uncomplicate it.

It’s a lot to keep track of.
And then, of course, there’s the bureaucratic process of obtaining the right travel documents.
Fortunately, there’s help available, and it’s only a click away.
It’s a website called iVisa.com.
Is it Time to Do Something Different?
7 Helpful Questions to Ask Yourself
I like to think of myself as a well organized person. Someone who plans ahead and develops systems and processes for everything.
So, as I mentioned in the last newsletter imagine my surprise when, on December 31, I went to write something in my planner for the next week — the first full week of 2022 — and realized I didn’t have a 2022 planner.
Yup. Something I normally order in September was MIA because I never ordered it.
It’s a goof with far-reaching repercussions.
But of course, that got me wondering why? Why had I spaced out on the tool that I rely on to keep my life and my work on track?
This ties in with a discussion I had recently with a member of my accountability group. Every week . . .
