A great book to read to think through some post divorce life purposing is Die With Zero. I just got it from a friend and found it to be provocative and thoughtful.
So 5 weeks ago I took my kids to Park City for a 4 day snowboard trip. I had an awesome time with them. We got back and went to our local hill the next weekend and my daughter had improved ridiculously from being out west. I decided I really wanted to go back and though it was a little expensive I decided to just do it.
So I asked my ex if I could take my daughter back to Utah, which was using her time and taking her out of school for one day - she reluctantly said ok.
So I got to spend three days skiing Solitude, Brighton, and Snowbird with just myself and my little girl. It was unbelievable and something she will remember forever.
I did have to ask my ex if I could take her but besides that there was no judgement related to how I was spending my time or money. No one questioned how I handled meals or packing up. My rule is if you forget it, buy it. We had the most amazing time.
Strong reco on the book Die with Zero from Bill Perkins. Very interesting read. Peace Folks!
