My Vision
VISION OF MY IDEAL LIFE
This is the life I’m building—with intention, systems, and support.
Not someday.
Starting now.
The Life I’m Building
I am building a life of freedom, impact, and beauty—where I wake up calm, choose my day on purpose, and use wealth as a tool to create real change.
My ideal annual income is at least $1,000,000 per year, and it is sustained by assets—savings and investments that produce that income long-term.
My total net worth is $50,000,000+.
I am financially independent and supported by a simple, well-run life: I have a housekeeper, a chef, and an assistant—people who are well-compensated, respected, and proud to be part of our home.
My wealth also funds my mission. I donate millions of dollars per year to create measurable, worldwide improvement in education.
Wealth & Financial Freedom
My home is on the coast, right over the water, with stunning gulf/ocean views through floor-to-ceiling glass.
There is enough beach to walk for miles.
There are places to dig for seashells.
The home has multiple guest rooms and a playroom for future grandchildren.
The outdoor space is beautiful, inviting, and used daily.
The furniture is updated and comfortable, and the décor is calm, coastal, and intentional.
This home feels like exhale. It feels like arrival.
Home & Environment
My ideal job is semi-retired writer/creator. I work from anywhere, on my schedule, because my income isn’t dependent on constant effort.
I create because I want to—not because I have to.
Work, Purpose, and Time Freedom
I spend a lot of time walking the beach, sitting with water in my view, watching birds and the tide, thinking clearly, and creating calmly.
I share this life with Brian, and our home has an open door for family and friends. We host with generosity—great conversation, great food, and the kind of laughter that makes you feel more alive when you leave than when you arrived.
I play games. I paint. I learn. I explore.
I take at least two vacations a year to places I’ve never been.
Daily Life: What My Days Feel Like
I take exceptional care of myself through enjoyable movement and supportive routines.
I feel energetic and strong.
I eat nutritious, delicious food that fits my body and preferences.
I prioritize mobility, strength, sleep, and peace.
I weigh around 150 pounds or less and feel proud of how I look and how I live.
I plan to live to 100+ with vitality, community, and purpose.
My Body & Health
Brian and I stay cute, silly, and fun. We keep novelty alive:
We go somewhere new at least twice a month (even if it’s small).
We plan adventures, projects, and experiences—not just errands.
Our community is kind, clean, loving, and safe.
My neighbors become close friends.
Our family feels welcome anytime. We do little outings, beach walks, and ordinary life in an extraordinary setting.
My daughter and son-in-law visit often—with the grandkids and grandpets.
We also spend time in Wisconsin each summer (up to a month), soaking up friends, family, and the familiar joys that still matter.
And yes—because joy counts too:
I buy a drum set and practice one hour per week.
I build friendships with people I admire and enjoy (including “wild dream” friendships that make life feel fun and expansive).
Relationships & Connection
The Mission
We donate millions each year to help change education worldwide—practically, measurably, and sustainably. I am proof that a regular woman can choose a bigger life and then build it.
The Commitment
This vision isn’t a fantasy. It’s my direction.
I review this vision every day—morning and night—so my choices match what I’m building.
This is what I’m building toward. This is who I’m becoming. This is what I’m operating as—starting now.
