Turn your world around…

In 6 months my life has been turned over to the bad side, I fell off the wagon with my weight.   I started drinking, not to the point of being drunk, but to the point to numb the pain.   I needed a change.  I wanted a change.

I decided to return to Oklahoma and finish my Bachelor Degree.   This decision has helped me in many areas.  I am finally getting my degree which was a goal of mine, I am…

Well, last time I wrote, I was writing the challenges of living in a 5th wheel and learning how to be in a tiny home.   However, since then, I have been removed from my 5th wheel and no longer in Colorado.

I am since relocated to another state so I can finish my college degree.   Once I finish this degree I am not sure what will happen after I graduate.

But here is an update, I have lived by…

Well April has come and gone.  It was a huge rollercoaster ride that had my emotions in so many directions.  The month of April was spent unpacking, concert, comedy show, birthdays, heartache and happiness.

First, I got to go see P!nk the musician on April 1st.  That was an amazing experience that I will cherish.  It was amazing of my co-worker to think of me and allowed me to experience that…

Mother’s Day

Why do we celebrate Mother’s Day?  Where did Mother’s Day originate from?  Well per my research from Wikipedia that holiday came from the early 1900’s when a woman wanted to celebrate her mom after her mother’s death.   She wanted the mother of the family to be honored.  However, in the 1920’s, companies began emphasizing Mother’s Day as a profit and began selling cards and gifts specifically for…

RV Full Timing – Month One

We moved into our 5th wheel on April 1, 2019.   We bought the 5th wheel with our savings for the reason of not having to pay the high rent that living in Colorado comes with.   When moving to Colorado almost 3 years ago, I had no clue how high the cost of living would be.  Rent is almost triple what I paid in Oklahoma.   Thankfully, the wages in Colorado help cushion the cost of living.  It is…

New Chapter Is Beginning

I have a new chapter beginning in my life.   Since I no longer have my kids with me, I have found myself needing to leave my apartment.   Why do I need to leave my apartment… many reasons:  it is low income for families (I’m no longer a family), it is $1000.00 a month that I could be saving, it reminds me that my kids are no longer with me (and that hurts every day).

Therefore, my partner and I…

Being a Parent is hard

After my last blog 2 weeks ago, another life changing event happened.   Actually, it happened just a few hours after posting how hard it was that my daughter left.  Well, this life change was my son left too.

See my son has not been very responsible with his electronics and not being respectful to me and my partner.  So we as his parents had grounded him.  He did not like the punishment and…

I know I have been missing from this blog for awhile.  A lot has been going on and well, life got very overwhelming for me.  This writing is going to be raw and personal but I want to get back into blogging.  I want to blog specific topics but also do some journaling because maybe, just maybe, my life and experiences can help someone else.

I have no clue where I left off…so let’s just start here:

When growing up did you imagine yourself divorced, raising the kids on your own?  Did you ever say “when I grow, I want to have a failed marriage and be divorced”?  I’m sure the common answer to that question is “no”.  We all wanted to marry our high school sweetheart, have kids and grow old together.  I inspired to be like the families I saw on television.  Come on 90’s kids, you know what I am…

Am I good enough?

I’m not good enough!  I’m not perfect!  I want everyone to like me!  How can I change?  Will I ever be good enough?  How can I fit in?  Did I hurt their feelings, I didn’t mean to?

These are thoughts and questions that went through my mind on a daily basis…constantly.  I couldn’t enjoy my day because I was always thinking the above questions or thinking that someone wasn’t being sincere in what…

My attempt at Keto and Intermittent Fasting

While trying to lose the final 15lbs for my zip line tour, I thought I would try Keto during the month of July.

Disclaimer:  This is my own personal experience.  I am not a professional.  Please consult with a doctor before trying any form of diet, supplement or exercise regiments.

My experience with Keto was short lived and not successful.  I wanted to try Keto because so many of my friends was…

My first zip line

Well friends:

I did it, I conquer a fear and did a zip line.

One word describes the experience……..AMAZING!!!!

The zip line tour was amazing.  The staff was so nice and professional.  They welcome the guests with open arms and was very friendly.   I, being a first timer, felt comfortable with my interaction with the staff.

I worked so hard to lose the weight, to meet the guidelines, to finally…

Tiny Living & Frugal/Minimal Living

Since being divorce and having to learn how to live on less income has changed the perceptive I have on life.  Before I was always wanting the biggest, brightest, and glamorous of things.   I rarely got them but I longed for them.  I felt like my self worth was determined with those things.  I would be more loved, liked, more friends, more social, if I had the best of everything.  What I learned…
