Chapter 1: A New Journey Begins

As I celebrate the 63rd spring of my life, my desire to explore the beauty of Europe continues to grow. Finally, I find myself walking the streets of a Spanish city, not merely as a traveler but as a resident eager to uncover stories.

The magic of life unfolds when you dare to take risks, and the Universe rewards those bold enough to pursue their passions. Here, the air is infused with the essence of history. Every cobblestone and local shop seems to share a story with me.

The nearby mountainous trails provide a peaceful retreat for those who seek tranquility away from urban life. In these serene expanses, where nature's rhythms intertwine with history, I find solace from the past’s echoes.

My audience on Medium has reached 3,194 this month, an increase of 30 from last month, yet still shy of my goal of 4,000. I am nurturing my self-belief and experiencing heightened inspiration and writing time now that I’m residing in the place I’ve always dreamed of.

My Substack newsletter, "Rosaswalksoflife," now has 216 subscribers. I recognize that my success relies heavily on my commitment to creating art. Indeed, showing up is impossible without a strong sense of self-confidence.

Maintaining this newsletter during a challenging month has proven to be a worthwhile endeavor, particularly in a world that often demands relentless productivity. This practice aids me in navigating life's turbulence more gracefully.

Surprisingly, I've found it easier to stay active than I expected; I now walk to most places, opt for stairs instead of elevators, and enjoy weekly hikes in the mountains. I estimate I’ve averaged 10,000 steps daily this month, although I've only managed three yoga sessions. I need to prioritize that again—no more excuses.

My favorite articles from fellow Medium writers this month include:
