Creating Personal Change While Living A Good Life!

In the summer of 2007 my husband and sold everything and moved into a RV. We were first time RVers and had a lot to learn. At 49 and 53 we were ready to get back to basics in life after tough careers I This lens is to showcase my blog and graphic design store as I share our unique lifestyle. We learn about life on a budget and living in an RV. Who knew when we made this decision the economy was going to blow up.

Can I become an artist? How about following dreams? Building on love? Growing older, wiser and possibly happier. Surrendering to the universe. Facing fears. Having time for life after information overload. Come join us as we discover or knew life.

Creating Personal Change While Living A Good Life

These are my personal stories and experiences as I discover my new life. I ramble and roam through my own discoveries of living frugal in an RV and creating a good life. I share my attempts at art, birding, learning the internet, exploring the world, and sometimes politics. Please come join in my journey of discovery.

We do not travel in our RV. We are exploring ourselves while roaming around the neighborhood. A variety of contradictions we are still finding our way in life.

    My husband and I have been fulltiming it for over 2 1/2 years now and it's the only way to go. I also wrote a lense on becoming a full time RVer! Just this year we have been considering the workcamping and have talked with many new people in parks. There is a wide variety of work with as many options for compensation so we're looking at all our options!

    Now . . . This Is MY Idea Of Living! As Much As I Love Riding In The Car, Life Would Be Ideal If My Human Motored Around Like You; Being On The Road Would Be Awesome, Especially Since I Love Meeting Nice Humans And Other Dogs! Sorry To Hear Yours Crossed Rainbow Bridge.

    The Human, However, Was Happy To Learn That You Adopted Your Dogs, And Perhaps Someday It Will Be Time To Add Another Addition, Or Two, To Your Traveling Family!

    We Once Saw An Episode Of "Wife Swap" Where The Mom Had To Change Places With A Family Who Also Lived And Traveled In An RV (But, She Made Them Live In A House During Her "Week To Change The Rules," Because She Didn't Care For That Lifestyle - Actually, She Didn't Care For Much Of Anything!).

    Keep On Keeping On! What A Great Way To Live!

    I have friends who did the same thing... sold everything and moved into their RV. It was supposed to last 6 months, and is now going on 15 years. We have a small RV and enjoy spending weekends in the high desert. It's a great way to travel and experience the simple things like millions of stars and calm nights. I'm happy for you!
