MAKING TIME TO PRIORITIZE JOY
2021 has been an incredible year for me. I executed my dream and relocated abroad in May 2021 on Mothers Day.
I CONFIRMED THAT I AM AN ENTREPRENEUR. I am actually running a business. I confirmed this year that I can follow my instincts and find business success. But one of the things I did too much of was – WORK. Building a business is a LOT. It’s a lot of work. It is a lot of disappointment and surprises

HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT (HWE)
To successfully exit a Hostile Work Environment (HWE) with maximum coin requires strategy and planning. This is why I have created the 4-part Hostile Work Environment Escape Strategy Program Webinar series. The series takes participants thru the 4 key steps needed to execute an exit from a discriminatory HWE
THE BALDGIRLWILLTRAVEL SHOP ON ETSY I also relaunched my online store, The BaldGirlWillTravel Shop on Etsy. Thanks to so many of you, our first Black Friday and Holiday sale went pretty well, better than I expected. But it was very time-consuming I must say. You can sign up for sales and promotions
SO WHY AM I TELLING YOU ALL OF THIS?
T-R-A-V-E-L.
EXPANDS YOUR PERSPECTIVE
Because while my HR consulting work, The Directory, the YouTube channel, and my online store bring me a lot of personal satisfaction, what really brings me the most joy in my life, besides my beloved son, is TRAVEL. T-R-A-V-E-L. My trip to Italy last Fall really cemented for me how much Solo Travel means to me and how important it is for my mental and spiritual health.
In 2022 and going to be scaling back on some of the other areas so that I can prioritize this joy first and foremost. In January 2022 I hope to close on the sale of my home in Washington, DC. It is bittersweet. I bought my home when I was 30 years old. My son was born and came home to that house, I raised him in that house. We celebrated every Christmas, every Birthday in that House. I have so many wonderful memories in that House and yet I cannot wait to sign those closing papers!
LET'S YOU APPRECIATE LIFE Enjoy the world out there I will share my travel experiences as much as I can because I want Black Women to stop being afraid of solo travel. And also because I want women of a certain age (ahem, 50+) to know solo travel is also for them.
GREAT WAY TO RELAX The one thing 2020 taught me is how short and fragile life really is and it is a lesson I do not intend to forget. What 2021 taught me is that breaking out of the grind culture is hard work and I have to be more intentional about it. I did not move to Mexico to work harder than I was in the US. I did it in pursuit of my personal and professional joy, peace, and freedom and I learned how important it is to be very intentional about ensuring that whatever I do not only serves others around me but me as well. So in 2022, I am pursuing MY Joy. I hope you will come along on the ride with me – wherever it leads. Happy New Year Everyone! See you in 2022.
