Trapped in Limbo: Navigating the Challenges of Moving On
I truly love my new occupation of travelling whilst I build a business online - there is so much to learn that there are days when I feel trapped in limbo. So how do I move on? After an afternoon cooking up a storm in the kitchen - giving me thinking time, I logically thought to use the tools of my trade and ask ChatGPT for an images and outline;

WOW! So my take on this is that I'll continue to go head-first into building my business in WA and call on the community's support and generosity to help me forward. Because I never know when I can do the same for someone else
From my sailing experience, I know that the weather changes and never stays the same, similar to my mood or how my day starts. So onward and upward to blue skies and fair wind sailing with a hunky bloke to sail with in between my studying and writing career - well ok that isn't him but it's very close!
Life's not half bad when I have a good look at what I've learned and get creative with the tools...and before I know it I realise that I really can do this!
My memory is improving, the lessons are sticking and when I apply myself to the task at hand, even if it is for only short bursts of time - I'm getting someone with my plan.
I'm remembering what I read last night on chat and message strings on blogs about optimizing my website and it's starting to make sense - simplify, streamline, and strategize. It's like untangling a knot; the more you simplify, the clearer the path becomes. Returning to lessons and working my way through the most technical is the first step.
Not to mention we now have lemon, and lime marmalade, spelt bread, and Malay roti - cooking is my inspiration!
Here's what I got from AI when I said "You're awesome, are you married?"
'Thank you for the compliment! As an AI language model, I don't have personal experiences or relationships, so I'm not married. However, I'm here to assist you with any questions or tasks you have!'
