Notes from debbie #006

Dispatched onMay 30, 2025

This week's check-in is fashionably late--and brought to you from the beautiful island of Grenada. 

I mentioned in my last note that I'd be spending some time here, and while I could blame the delay on palm trees and sea breezes... the truth is, I've been fully immersed in what it might mean to live and work from here.

This isn't a vacation. It's part of my long-term dream to be a fully location-independent virtual professional--and this trip is helping me test what that really looks like.

I'm embracing the "when in Rome" mindset--greeting strangers with a smile (nothing new for me, actually), slowing down (a lot), and yes... driving on the left. 😐

Each day starts with a quick planning session (beach included), and I still meet with my business coach to stay focused. Structure and sunlight--it's a vibe.

But I'll be honest: "island time" is real. It's charming... until it's not.

I share more about that tension in this edition's video.👇

📽 A book I own but still haven't read:

Company of One by Paul Jarvis
It's staring at me from my Audible app, but I've been re-listening to Million Dollar Weekend lately (highly recommended if you haven't checked it out.)

📽 Did you know...

Grenada—aka the Spice Isle--is the world's second-largest producer and exporter of nutmeg! And here's an interesting tidbit: weeds never grow under a nutmeg tree.

Wishing you a peaceful weekend, wherever you are. I'll see you in a fortnight (on time, pinky swear).

Thanks,
Debbie 💛

P.S. I know I said I'd share more about one of my other ventures. And I will--just not today. Think of this as a soft teaser, island time, remember? 😉
