What happens when you let go of 99% of your belongings to follow your heart and allow your Bucket List dreams to come true?

November 30, 2016

My name is Suzie,

I Am the ultimate Inner Peace client and teacher of these methodologies.

I am just as much a student of this transformational healing work as my clients are.

After living in Portland, Oregon for 25 years, I reached a tipping point of heartbreak, burnout, feeling suicidal, and experiencing a spiritual midlife crisis. I knew it was time to move.

When you feel like you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain.

I was ready to leave, but I wasn’t inspired by any particular place. I’m deeply inspired by life, so this felt confusing.

I lost everything I loved, cashed out my dwindling retirement savings, and said,

“Fuck it. God, I’ve fucked up my life. I give it to you.”

Maui came to mind first, but island life felt too small for my dreams and adventurous spirit.

I visited Asheville, North Carolina and Boulder, Colorado… and it became clear those places weren’t where I was meant to land either.

Through conversations with dear friends, something shifted. I felt called to live out a long-held dream… to road trip across the United States in search of a new home and a place to build my life and business.

I am open to experiencing the free-spirited, soul-nourishing, spontaneous, simple, and adventurous parts of myself coming alive.

My daily morning mantra is,

“Dear God, where will you have me go, what will you have me do, what will you have me say, and to whom?”

(A practice I’ve learned as a student of A Course in Miracles.)

I’ve surrendered my life to be in service to God, to Earth, and to humanity… and to understand why I’m here and what truly matters to me.

This is a spiritual journey… discovering new truths about life, divine love, home, family, success, and healing relationships.

This is a completely new way of living for me… learning how to be this free, and facing my fears at a whole new level.

Yahoo, yowza, yowza, yippee kayae, boom chicka, laka, chicka laka, chicka boom, boom… AWESOMENESS!!!

As I sit here tonight in my nearly empty studio, nestled in the West Hills of Portland, Oregon, just down the street from my beloved Skyline Blvd., I look around and feel free… light… inspired… and at peace with what remains.

I’ve reduced my entire life to what fits in my car.

Two weeks before my big move and road trip across the United States, my car broke down. I was devastated.

Buying a new car was never part of the plan. It brought a level of stress and fear I had to face on my own… and work through in real time.

But it turned out to be the aligned choice, one that met needs I didn’t even know I had.

Meet “Angel,” also known as “Falcor” (inspired by The NeverEnding Story)… my brand new Fiat 500X.

I’ve never owned a new car before.

Tonight feels especially emotional.

It’s the holiday season… I’m leaving Portland after 25 years… and I’m standing on the edge of a life-changing leap into the unknown.

I’m learning how to follow my intuition… my heart… my angels… divine guidance…

And I’m allowing my dreams to come true.

I’ve reduced 99% of my belongings to answer this calling and bring a bucket list dream to life.

(Going paperless a few years ago made this level of freedom and mobility possible.)

I could not have reached this point in my life without my friends… and the connections and resources available through the internet and social media.

I love Oregon, and I’m deeply grateful for the friendships I’ve built here.

It’s never easy to let go of what you love.

I know I’ll think of Portland whenever it rains, wherever I go… and I’ll always appreciate and love rainy days.

I’m calling this road trip journey My Date with Destiny.

Yes, it’s inspired by Tony Robbins…

and I’ll also be experiencing “dates” with myself in new ways, inspired by Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way.

Tomorrow, December 1, 2016, I officially leave Portland… with no final destination yet determined.

My home is where my heart leads me.

I’ll begin by heading to the San Francisco Bay Area, where I grew up, reconnecting with friends and grounding back into my roots.

Along the way, I’ll be offering my services both virtually and in person.

Join me and be inspired on Instagram and Youtube as I take you with me, bringing the magic of Inner Peace Organizing across the United States.

Blessings & Miracles,

~ Suzie Sandoval

GOODBYE PORTLAND… HELLO DESTINATION UNKNOWN

My 240-square-foot studio, nestled in the West Hills of Portland, Oregon…

I loved living here. It was the perfect location for an all-over-town commuter like myself, with everything just minutes away, NW 23rd, downtown, and the MAX light rail.

I was walking distance to the International Rose Garden, Washington Park, and the Zoo… with access to hiking trails and peaceful walking paths just steps from my front door.

There were also the little luxuries… a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and sauna.

It’s a beautiful life to walk away from… and yet, I’m ready to truly listen and honor the deeper calling of my Soul’s journey.

Today, as I look out my window, Portland is wrapped in its signature gray, foggy clouds, soft drizzling rain, rainbow trees, and lush greenery all around.

FINAL PREPPING

For my Date with Destiny road trip across the United States…

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my downsizing process, so I wanted to share where I’m at.

This is everything I’m down to… and somehow, it still feels like too much.

I just can’t bring myself to let go of my scarves, mittens, and hats. One bag is fully dedicated to accessories. Ha, ha!

It’s wild… 240 square feet of belongings once felt normal, and now it feels like excess.

I can’t believe how much I’ve let go of and donated.

It’s been fascinating to really see what I actually need in life.

What are you willing to let go of…

and align your heart with…

to co-create your divine destiny?

Share your story… dream out loud.

60 SECONDS TO SIMPLY BREATHELive From Treasure Island In Laguna Beach******************************************"The world is a canvas for your imagination." ...

Laguna Beach called me home in February 2017.

(Video: Treasure Island)

In January 2021, I manifested my dream home in Laguna Beach after a year in West Hollywood and three years of living a nomadic entrepreneurial lifestyle.

Then, everything fell through the very day I was meant to move in and begin that new chapter.

I temporarily returned to Portland for 43 days, feeling like a complete failure.

I slept most of the time… my soul was exhausted.

And then…

I brought myself back to Southern California.

I knew my home and my dreams were still waiting for me because,

SHAZAM… this is who I am.

A divine miracle on her Hero’s Journey home.
