Hey! So – I have been hearing a lot about gratitude lately. I’ve been working to re-implement my habit of writing down the things I am grateful for every day. Gratitude lists are one of the first homework assignments that I received from my sponsor when I got sober. And it works! But, life gets…
I have been learning from a lot of people lately. One of the people I have been learning from is Amanda Frances (xoamandafrances on all the social medias). Mom and I are taking her Money Mentality Makeover course right now. It’s incredible! But one of the things that I am learning how to do is…
Saturday, September 17, 2024 – that is just 2 years away. It is coming whether you plan for it or not. You may be thinking to yourself what the heck is on September 17, 2024?! And why do I need to be prepared? My answer is – honestly, I don’t know. I don’t know what…

Hi Friends, I haven’t written a blog in ages. When Mom and I started this blog we made a commitment to you and to each other, that we would post every week. We decided to create this space because we want to change the world. We want to live and love, help others and spread…
Would I suggest we sell and move into an RV? It’s been just over 1 ½ years since we sold our 3-bedroom 2-bathroom home on 10 acres in the green swamp. Sometimes it feels like yesterday, and other times it feels like forever ago. Going from so much space to a 38-foot coach has certainly…
