Oh wow, what an experience. I was glad to read you came out of it with a renewed sense of exhilaration. I know from personal events that tick bites can cause the worst kind of illness. This read was also a reminder that it is okay to move on from something that isn't suiting your needs any longer...it was something that I didn't know I needed to hear. Good luck in your new endeavors!

I’m so pleased you’re ok (and Lupa). You’ve had a really extraordinary experience in Portugal and I have thoroughly enjoyed living vicariously through your newsletters and social media. I am excited to hear about what you do next. It is sure to be fascinating.

It's amazing how a disruption to your life can help you see it more clearly. Good luck with your future life.

I know a lot of people in Scotland who've had Lyme disease from tick bites. Most recovered completely after antibiotics, but some who weren't diagnosed and treated at the time went on to develop long-term illnesses. It can be very variable in its effects and can be fatal.

Brother, that sounds like a true experience. I hope you get a sign from the universe about the next chapter of your life soon. Can I ask what happened to Lupa?

Me too! Although the fog is starting to clear. Lupa was totally fine (regarding the dog incident) and now he's back with me in the UK

Not an easy read. You have made a difficult decision and now it is time to face your future. Will look forward to the next chapter.
