I assumed it might be because the world\u2019s first prima ballerina\/pop singer however a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rootlessliving.com\/shop\/print-subscriptions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">journal concern<\/a>\u00a0dedicated to being an RV entrepreneur is fairly superior too ????<\/p>\n<p><strong>Family<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And lastly, just about all the pieces about Ellie. This 12 months she discovered to crawl. Walk. Talk. Jump. Sing. Dance. The different day she walked over to our introduction calendar, pulled out a Hershey\u2019s kiss, unwrapped it, threw the wrapper within the trash, and yelled \u201cmore!\u201d earlier than she even ate the chocolate. She\u2019s a genius, and clearly her mom\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n<p>But as a lot as I like her, maybe the largest win of 2020 was discovering childcare for Ellie this fall from a stay-at-home mother on the town. There\u2019s solely a lot work I can do throughout nap instances and now Ellie has a BFF.<\/p>\n<p>Full-time RVing this 12 months, being a full-time stay-at-home mother and operating a enterprise, AND attempting to purchase a campground\u2026it was rather a lot. And I wasn\u2019t doing <em>something<\/em>\u00a0nicely. Now I&#8217;ve 20 hours per week that I may be productive on the enterprise, and it feels so GOOD.<\/p>\n<h2>2020: The Bad<\/h2>\n<p>In comparability to so many others, nothing horrible occurred to us in 2020. But we did have some actually onerous moments and fell in need of objectives, as a result of that\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>The largest second was canceling our convention in March, though we already had 100+ attendees on-site for the occasion. What a loopy time.<\/p>\n<p>We talked on the podcast about how we made the fast pivot to a digital occasion, dealt with partial refunds, shipped out t-shirts to attendees, and blazed onward (<a href=\"https:\/\/heathandalyssa.com\/plan-virtual-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">episode 201<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>We haven\u2019t closed on a campground but, like I already talked about, which appears like a serious fail for 2020 since that was our #1 purpose this 12 months. But objectives shift and we realized again in July that we would have liked to discover a home first and a campground second. So we can be full steam forward on a campground in Q1, AND we&#8217;ll lastly launch the Campground Startup podcast on February 1st (one other undertaking we have been going to begin in 2020!).<\/p>\n<p>I believe one of many worst elements of 2020 for me was feeling like I couldn\u2019t do something the best way I wished to. And not in an \u201cI want to take Ellie to the pool and teach her to swim, oh wait all the pools are closed forever\u201d form of means.<\/p>\n<p>I began engaged on my subsequent e book this summer season, like actually working. I wrote a number of chapters. Felt actually good about it. Words have been flowing. Post its have been in all places. Stories and reminiscences flooded again to me.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the e book I wished to put in writing again in 2014 after we first began RVing, sharing tales from our travels and what life on the street was like.<\/p>\n<p>But then we have been caravanning with buddies. Ellie switched from two naps to at least one. Heath began working extra hours to lift cash for Campground Booking. Family was driving up from Texas to go to us. I used to be behind on a course we have been launching that wanted consideration. I didn\u2019t have any little one care choices, solely late nights and early mornings.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t really feel like I had any management over my time.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve a number of chapters of a e book written that I haven\u2019t checked out in far too lengthy, though I deliberate on publishing it this month.<\/p>\n<p>This was an enormous emotional battle for me and an enormous theme for us for 2020. I couldn\u2019t be a mother, a traveler, an entrepreneur, and a author all of sudden. I wanted assist and I wanted to chop again. (This is one thing Heath has felt too as he&#8217;s now operating a 9-person distant enterprise with staff everywhere in the world.)<\/p>\n<p>Which is why childcare felt like such an enormous win for me. And why it was the fitting time for a sticks and bricks.<\/p>\n<p>And so once more I study the lesson, I can do all the pieces, however I can\u2019t do all the pieces on the similar time.<\/p>\n<p>So ending my subsequent e book goes on the listing for 2021 together with our podcast and our campground. It\u2019s going to be a busy 12 months, I can already inform!<\/p>\n<h2>2020: Major Lessons Learned<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to studying for the millionth time that I can\u2019t do all the pieces all of sudden, Heath and I discovered a number of different huge classes this 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life is just too brief to not do stuff you need to do, even if you happen to do them badly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In November, I partnered with my buddy Barb of RV Foodie Kitchen to host a nightly cooking present. It was a dream come true.<\/p>\n<p>Except I actually tousled cooking ALL my recipes. And I might\u2019ve executed 1,000,000 little issues in another way.<\/p>\n<p>But it was actually enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>I did it, though it was scary. Extra work after I didn\u2019t have additional time. I used to be under no circumstances outfitted or expert sufficient to do it. Ellie ate uncooked batter whereas I used to be distracted speaking to the digicam. I had 1,000,000 excuses to not attempt (I\u2019m transferring right into a home proper now, we&#8217;ve got buddies visiting, I\u2019m not an actual cook dinner, the listing goes on).<\/p>\n<p>But I nonetheless did it. This is a lesson I attempt to lean into slightly extra annually: do the stuff you need to do, even if you happen to\u2019re not prepared. I remorse by no means attempting greater than I remorse making errors as I&#8217;m going.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give your self grace.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I believe 2020 taught us all the right way to give ourselves grace.<\/p>\n<p>How to let go of our fastidiously constructed plans. How to pivot. How to drift. How to not maintain ourselves to metrics or numbers.<\/p>\n<p>But as an alternative, give attention to progress.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t do yoga 365 instances, however I did 150 instances (due to Yoga with Adriene). And that\u2019s waaaay higher than final 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Progress &gt; excellent, as they are saying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You do you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was a time after I would reply to emails all the time encouraging individuals to additionally attempt full-time RVing.
