Blogging to get through life…..
“The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the the day you find out why.”
Mark Twain
Off-grid living
Living life off-grid at 6,240 feet in elevation can be interesting to say the least, but it’s the most beautiful place on Earth.
Hunting life
We live to hunt and literally live on wild game year round. Whether it’s big game or birds, our trusty bird dogs are so important to our successful hunting!
My life partner
I could never live life off-grid in the high desert if it weren’t for my Basco John. He is my best friend and life partner! He has seen me at my complete worst yet, he’s still here supporting me.

LIFE AND ALL IT’S BEAUTY AND HEARTACHE….
I decided to start my podcast and blogging journey while dealing with some pretty painful family betrayal and disappointment. My longing to start this healing journey was born from my very real need to find peace while hopefully helping others through their own painful issues. I was seeking forgiveness not only for the ones who betrayed me, but especially for the ones who betrayed my parents. I found out pretty quickly that taking a deep dive into trying to heal and face my own personal demons head on showed me where I truly stood in the family hierarchy. I soon realized what others thought of me after always wondering for so many years and found out that throughout the chaos, I was what they call the family truthteller and scapegoat. I learned that the generational family trauma my parents endured as kids that carried on even after getting married & beyond was being transferred down through each of us kids, paving the way for some interesting dysfunction. If it weren’t for being forced to hit rock bottom I would never have found the peace I have right now. My hope is that my life lessons or something I say resonates with some of you to lead you to a peaceful path of self discovery and better health & wellbeing. This path has taken decades to lead me here, but it’s only been less than two years that I realized who I really was.
Here we go…..
WHO IS THAT BABY?
That cute little baby girl in the red pants, white shirt & red bow tie grew up to be me; the unplanned pregnancy that ended up being the truthteller-scapegoat that vowed to do better by her own kids and relationships.
