Taking Responsibility for Our Own Happiness
I’ve always considered myself a “happy person.” I was taught to embrace change and learn from challenges from a very young age. At the same time, I limited my happiness–it felt responsible and adult to suffer a little. After all, the adults I respected were suffering.
It wasn’t until I entered my 30’s that I realized I didn’t feel I deserved to be 100% happy…what with all the mistakes I’d made. This shift; selling our four bedroom Victorian, moving onto a 32 foot bus…and whatever comes next, was a conscious decision to make fewer compromises and to love life more. This blog is dedicated to that journey. Together with my husband, Ryan, and our dogs, Marlon Brando, a.k.a. “The Black” and Clint Eastwood, a.k.a. “The Brown,” our commitment is to discovering how living outside of the prescribed labels of society will provide a platform for self-realization, community appreciation and unadulterated happiness. You are welcome to come along…

Food
More Than Food
The conversation I wish to have here about food goes far beyond recipes and pictures. Don’t get me wrong, I love food porn more than the average bear, but there is very little out there about our relationship with food and it’s a problem. There is serious confusion...

Buying the Bus and What Came After…
Buying a bus felt a lot like hunting down a New York City apartment. We (Ryan mostly) spent every spare moment scanning postings, making calls and sending emails. We needed a bus that was completely built out, because we lacked the time and experience to start from...
