Married, no kids

I never considered not having a family, not even once throughout my entire life. And yet, here Lindsay & I are, consciously not having kids, and not feeling like we’re missing out.

For the last 20 years, I was recreating myself and my work. I was healing my own personal issues and traumas, and developing new skills in my craft. While doing all of this, I was clear & resolved that I was going to take after a mentor of mine and be an older dad.

Then Lindsay came into my life and surprised me in the best way.

It was at this point that I learned first-hand about allowing myself to be surprised in life, and really understood the quote about life happening when we’re busy making plans.

I’m a taurus through and through: stubborn in the worst way and dedicated in the best way. So when I have my sight set on something, there’s not much that can stand in my way … apparently except for Love and God.

Having said that, when Lindsay came into my life, I saw a new possibility that didn’t include kids; but one of expansion, travel and working on having a great relationship.

It’s not the first time that life revealed a path I never saw coming, but this was the moment that I really learned the power of staying open to possibilities, even while perusing a specific vision for my life.
