Start Here!

I wanted to fully develop this experience before re-entering the world. I had a vision of how it would look and how a person could interact with it all.

I find myself pointing fingers at my current life—my job, school, field experience, and kids. It’s true that, during the brief moments I had free from those responsibilities, I was busy organizing or planning for what was next.

So, I just have to take this step forward and build yet another plane mid-air.

I believe I’m well-suited for this because I still have a clear vision and a strong desire for the outcome. As a former preschool educator, I value flexibility. I wouldn’t call it a superpower, but I’m comfortable allowing things to develop organically.

Right now, I have so much momentum in my life, especially in my career path. I feel like Lewis and Clark, but I’m not out here paving, more voyaging. I could share more details, but that’s better suited for one-on-one conversations.

Originally, I thought about using Instagram and content creation to allow unlimited access to my life and reach. But I don’t want just anyone to hear, read, or see this; I only want those who are ready. Ideally, it’s just the one who wants to be with me for the rest of my life.

As you might have gathered from the first few sentences, my life doesn’t have space for additional characters. I wish it did—there was a time when it did. But now, it doesn’t.

Even when school ends, I won’t magically have extra time for friendships or relationships. I value my time alone; I’m an introvert. If you know me and don’t see that, then you’re not in the right part of my life. You’re in the business-building part, where I share what I can about my unique skills to see if they align with yours.

I eventually want to move off the grid. You’ll hear me refer to this often.

If that’s not your thing, then walk away now. Don’t waste your time or mine.

I have plenty of friends who won’t go off the grid with me, but I’m looking for the one person who wants to spend their life with me. I don’t know what he looks like, where he is, or what he does. I wish I did; that would make this process quicker and easier.

So, it’s time to commit to this for the long haul.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Inconsistency: There will be zero consistency in this. My other responsibilities require discipline and focus. This is for fun, whenever I can. My goal isn’t to create something grand that fills my bank account.

• Taking Breaks: I’ll need time off now and then. If that causes you to lose interest, I’m sorry; it’s never my intention to bore you. But for me, that time is crucial.

• Prioritizing Myself: I love my Meghan time. I will choose my children, myself, or my work before this or anyone else in my life.

  
  

I have incredibly high standards. Here’s why: I own my house. My car is paid off. I’m health-conscious and care for my mind, body, and spirit. I contribute to society in meaningful ways. If you’re not ready to keep up, don’t waste your time.

This could be a long journey. I’ve done immense internal work to heal. Through that journey, I’ve built friendships beyond the few who stuck around from the first book. I’m not afraid of dying by myself as an old hag. Even if I do, it will be off the grid with my dogs, wandering into the woods without anyone to find my body, returning naturally to the Earth.

I’ve been with men since my husband’s death, and longevity for me exists only if that man is on a similar journey. Those who aren’t don’t last long. If you’d like support or guidance in that process, stick around. I’ll share some of the things I’ve done and the successes I’ve seen. One such method is EMDR. It feels like witchcraft, but for some reason, it works. It’s like jump-starting a car—it resets everything and gives you time to replenish or buy a new battery. I’ll share more about my experience with EMDR and counseling in the future. That’s just a glimpse of how I got here.

I enjoy this life. When I pause, breathe in, and truly feel this existence, I find joy. Last night, I spent time in my tub, moving my hand in and out of the water, feeling each part contact the surface. Maybe it was only for ten minutes, but I want more of that. I can’t have it right now, but soon, after I graduate. So...

As I navigate this journey of self-discovery and connection, I’m eager to see where it leads. Finding the right person isn’t just about companionship; it’s about forging a bond rooted in understanding and shared values.

I invite you to return for more reflections—whether through blog posts, recorded audio experiences (some available for purchase), chapters from my upcoming book, or even song titles and pictures reminiscent of the early days of Instagram.

I will warn you that not all experiences will be free, as I know my worth. There’s much to uncover, and I look forward to sharing each step along the way.
