Gypsy Panda

"If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village,

she must seek them abroad."

–Jane Austen

If you have been on my blog lately,

you know that I am moving to California! 

I feel confident in this new adventure 

and decided to write a "Gypsy Panda" affirmation post.

Hope it inspires you :)

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go."
~Dr. Seuss

“I’ve decided that I’m going to live this life for some time to come.

The freedom and simple beauty of it is just too good to pass up.”

–Chris McCandless

"Not all those who wander are lost."
J. R. R. Tolkien

"When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money.

Then take half the clothes and twice the money."
-Susan Heller

(Or...just take things with you that you can make and sell along the way)

“Twenty years from now

you will be more disappointed

by the things you didn’t do

than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines,

sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.”

-Mark Twain
