Take The Trip
As many of you know, I wear two hats, as both a travel agent and a lawyer.
Being a lawyer is very rewarding, but it can be heavy at times, shouldering the burden of people’s life altering problems. Many people turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms to manage the stress of the job, but I find the best medicine to sooth the soul is vacation! In fact, I had so much fun planning vacations that when I learned I could do it as a side hustle seven years ago, I said “why not?”
I discovered a second passion and ended up opening my own travel agency so that some of my friends could join with me and do the same thing! Now, Beautiful Tomorrow Adventures is a full-service travel agency with over twenty-five agents helping people make life-long memories!
I find that estate planning and vacation planning go hand in hand. A lot of times when someone is getting ready to leave on a big trip, they start to think about the safety provisions they have in place to protect their lifestyle and their loved ones while they’re gone. It’s a great time to let your loved ones back home know where all your important documents are- your power of attorney in case they need to act on your behalf in an emergency!
The only certainty in life is that it is uncertain. Just today, we passed a bad car accident smack dab in front of Magic Kingdom! Unfortunately, life keeps “life-ing” no matter how perfect it’s supposed to be.
But that’s why I am here. As a travel agent, I make sure and unexpected bumps get smoothed out for my clients ON their vacation. As a lawyer, I make sure everything is smooth back home while they are away, of find themselves in unplanned scenarios! And as a friend (because we all know my clients become my friends!) I stalk their social media pages to see all of the fun adventures they are enjoying and hope to never need any of the other stuff!
Our life is so short, friends.
Eat the cake. Take the trip. Live in the moment.
(But only with a will or trust in place first!)
