Overview

An escape from your life. A break from the busy schedule and the excesses of American culture. Time to relax with your family away from the rat race and time to reboot yourself. Even though it seems like an impossible dream, Domini and Kevin Hedderman did all of these things by pausing their life, packing some suitcases, renting out their house, and boarding a plane for the remote jungle of Belize with their four young children. There in Belize they spent six epic months, house sitting for a seafront, off-the-grid property, hanging out in simple local villages, and rediscovering each other without the constant distractions of television, instant entertainment, and too much stuff. The experience broadened their perspective of the world and reminded them how important it is to create the life of your dreams now, even if it means breaking out of what is considered normal. Follow their story from the beginning, when they thought it was just a crazy idea like everyone else, to the end, when they realized that this family sabbatical was a necessary, powerful step in their family's journey. Learn about how they planned the escape, financed it, and handled the kids' education while away. Listen to how their exit from normal changed every element of their lives. And be inspired to leave your own version of normal, if only for awhile, to gain a new and fresh perspective on life. If you've ever felt a desire to take a family sabbatical, this is the book for you!
