I’m not sure the first time I heard that expression, but I know where it led me. I was in Rishikesh, India, sitting on the floor of the ashram I was studying at listening to the American yoga instructor, (a recovering drug addict) talk about her experience of going from homeless to globe-trotting entrepreneur.

Recently my husband and I went on an all-inclusive trip to Cabo, Mexico. We do this at least once a year because Cabo is a short flight away and we really like the sunshine and the beach. It was an investment to be sure, but one we thought was worth it (well, until we made…
