We have been here for 4 months!! Here are 4 Revelations and some guiding questions that we explored for us.
AS A BONUS FOR YOU....
There are some guiding questions you can explore for yourself if you are looking at flipping any small or big part of your script. Remember...All big change starts as small change. (also...the people of St. Vincent still need help...scroll to the bottom for resources on that).
1.) Embracing the Unexpected:
How has embracing a COVID outbreak on the island and experiencing ash fall from a volcanic eruption actually strengthened us?
For you: Can unexpected situations happen for you and not to you? Have some of the most challenging times created strength and growth for you when you have gotten past them?
Check out this Conversation from May 2020 early in the pandemic, with Darren, Victor Wooten, Joseph McClendon III and Tony Grebmeier that explores this.
• Episode Ten | Victor W...
2.) Human Connection:
Can a different environment and culture change our experiences in human connection?
For you: What is a little change you make in your environment that can change your human connection? Can you go somewhere different, talk to someone new? What are questions that you can ask to stay curious?
Resource: Check out the F.O.R.D. conversational technique if you need ideas for questions. socialpronow.c...
3.) Childhood Experiences
How are the childhood experiences (and parenting experiences of childhood) similar and different here?
For you: What experiences do you want your child to have and what experiences do you want to have as a parent? Think about experiences that may cost money, but especially experiences that are incredibly rich that cost very little or nothing financially. Make a list and dream big! It costs you nothing to dream and put that list where you can see it...just maybe someday it will come true. Even if you are thinking of kids, can spending time contemplating this be beneficial to you?
Check out the book: Incredible Parent for this, and the community at: www.incrediblefamily.com
4.) Mind Freedom
Can we be carrying mental baggage that we weren't even aware of until we change our environment?
For you: What are the Limits that you may be placing on yourself or others? These are found as I/We can't,or I/We don't statements. Make a list of those, and ask yourself if for a moment you could give a safe space to just wonder if you could. What would it look like.
The only people that have changed the world, started by changing their world in believing in the impossible and realizing that word actually states: I'm Possible. Perhaps those little I can't's are actually something that we can turn into an empowering belief.
To Learn more about freeing your mind and creating empowering beliefs, check out Jim Kiwk's Podcast, or his book Limitless.
APRIL 30th, 2021
....marked 4 months, since we flipped our script, leaving behind the only life we had known in California to travel over Land and Sea and move to Barbados. The journey has provided many powerful lessons, ideas and revelations. Although there have been many, we capture 4 key revelations that have really enriched our experience here thus far. If you have been contemplating flipping your script in anyway, big or small...Perhaps some of these reveals can help plant some seeds in your thinking. In the future we will explore how the big script flip of moving here was actually no more that a culmination of very, very small micro script flips over the years.
THE PEOPLE OF ST. VINCENT STILL NEED HELP...even though the alert level dropped one tier to orange.
If you would like to help the people of St. Vincent, we have included a few disaster relief organizations below that are coordinating responses (We will continue to update as we learn of more...please message us if you are aware of any reputable organizations):

Have you guys had a chance to see the Jewish Synagogue in Bridgetown? or visited St. John's Parish Church and it's magnificent view of the East Coast. You can also check out the pottery works in Chalky Mount St. Andrew, Gun Hill Signal Station, Andromeda Gardens, Nature Fun Ranch, Glendairy Prison, Long Pond and Walkers in St. Andrew, Pico Tenerife in St. Peter, Turners Hall Woods, in St. Thomas.

We appreciate you also. Continue to be blessed and safe in my island home, now your home. Feel free to roam, and to grow...even closer. And Lisa maybe now you can get your work station/desk built. No more kitchen table, you do need your own space so to explore more with your mind freedom. Looking forward to hear what your creative juices overflow into. :)

Glad you are enjoying the island. Another very nice restaurant in the north of the island is Catch 22 at Sunset Point, Salmond, St. Lucy. With the low season right now it is open on weekends 11am - 4pm. Fantastic food and a spectacular view. I also hope you take the opportunity to explore Bridgetown and the Historic Garrison, especially with this month being the Culture month here in Barbados. Continue to be safe and continue to be free.

Thanks for the recommendations! We actually stopped into Catch 22 on the way home from Animal Flower Cave just to take a look at what it was. Stunning location. We can't wait to head back and have lunch there one of these days. The kiddos are on holiday so we plan to take a look at many of the historic locations this month!

A couple more places to check out: Codrington College - a beautiful old building (seminary and chapel) on breathtaking grounds, with a gorgeous view across the west coast. The kids will love feeding the ducks and fish, and the adults will love the peaceful serenity. A great place for a picnic or some meditation. Welchman Hall Gully is a botanical garden that gives an idea of what Barbados might have been like before it was settled. Harrison's Cave: If Preston likes trains, he might enjoy the trolley that takes you through the cave system!

The Barbados Museum and Farley Hill are also places you can visit. For other foods you can try Chicken Barn or Chutneys or the food courts at Skymall and Sheraton Centre which offer Greek, Chinese, Italian and of course bajan cooking 😁

Another awesome recap! Happy 4 months guys!! Some more things to do: think the kids would really enjoy PEG Farm, where they can get up close and personal with the animals - chickens, pigs, bunnies. Good meals to be had at their restaurant as well. Naru and Café Luna (both on the south coast) are consistently excellent for dinner. When Christmas rolls around, book your tickets early for "Carols at the Abbey" at St. Nicholas Abbey too, and get out to some of the Christmas markets 😊 So happy you are feeling at-home.

For fast food you can also try Chicken Barn,Mapps and the Seafood shack. Our version of TGI would be Bubbas which is on the South coast. I would also suggest checking out Worthing square which is basically a bunch of food trucks which offer different food and there are benches and sometimes live music it is also on the South Coast. Its unfortunate with Covid but Cropover (carnival) would be starting up here, while it's more for adults there are some cultural aspects families could enjoy. Sadly hurricane season is about to start hopefully it's not bad but that will be another experience for you guys. Interesting perspectives about living in Barbados I guess as someone who grew up here I wouldn't notice some of the things you pointed out. I would just say crime is in every country so don't fully let down your gaurd.

@theflipthescriptfamily 3 жыл бұрын
Absolutely! Thank you for the recommendations. We actually were able to participate in Cropover back in 2018 and had a blast. Even the kiddos were into it and dancing until 1am. We can't wait to be able to experience it again once COVID allows it to return. We appreciate the words of caution as well. We remain vigilant here... it is just refreshing to not have to be looking over your shoulder each step of the way. :)

My parents are Guyanese and the kids know the word ras. One of their favorite fish in the reef is a wrasse, so they love saying wrasse. We have heard some and love to earn the cuss from different islands. We have definitely said what many times!

I think just having a mindset of "things take longer here" really helps. If you go in with that approach and things happen faster than expected you are pleasantly surprised but if not you already prepared for things to take a looooong time.
