Shell, What a great way to look at it. This is a chance to soak up the beauty of other cultures and use the experience it to improve my work and gain inspiration. Thank you. I am happy to say that since I wrote this article, I have been guilt-free and putting my all into enjoying this amazing experience,

Hi Mike, Thanks so much for the Paris tips. I have had the pleasure of being here before — I did an exchange in Rouen, Normandy, just an hour outside of Paris, during university 6 years ago — but I appreciate the advice and suggestions.

Adam, as usual, I love the perspective you bring. Thank you for reminding me that my guilt actually has a purpose and that I should use this opportunity, as you say, to test out the mobility of my business. It's important for me to see that I could live the nomadic life I desire and continue to grow the business I love.

Hi. Thanks for emailing me.

I've decided to go on vacation and I'm in Paris and Barcelona until
Nov. 14.

Leave me a note and I'll get back to you upon my return or sooner.

Be well,

Tara

You need to revel being in Paris and Barcelona. I would soak up those cities and get all the creativity I can from this adventure. Think about this way, you'll have all this creative juice to give to your clients when you get back.

The Catacombs are closed as is the Egyptian wing at the Louvre (if you haven't been to Paris before and are planning to take in some sites). If you need some exercise walk to the top of the Arc D' Triomphe (it will educate you on how in shape you are). The Metro rocks for getting around Paris, so get those little packets of 10 tickets. Last but not least if you are not vegan, try McDonald's on the Champs Elysees; the food there is the usual natural French food and is unlike anything you have had at McD's in Canada or the States, plus they sell beer (quite cheaply too!).

Paris?! Barcelona?! Guilty?! You should feel guilty! Guilty for experiencing these amazing cities without inviting all of us!! That's the only this you should be feeling guilty about.

About the guilt you're describing: Feel grateful for it. It's there so you can move past it and gain a greater perspective on life, work, and experience. If you're really listening to this moment, then you will come out ahead. Period.

Besides, here's a chance to really test the mobility of your business. How cool is that?
