Introduction

Welcome to my little corner of the world. A place to share and document my journey and progress, a diary… of sorts.  

For years I have wanted to “blog” “journal” “document” this change in “life” that my husband and I have taken.  I sometimes wonder if he is just along for the ride, as he is such a great sport, hardly ever protesting my ideas and dreams and my thoughts about the present and the future.  I am on a journey of creation, in this case a re- creation. How else can I explain it?  

I feel an urgency or a pull to start documenting my thoughts.  I have felt this way for a long time now, over 8 years, and realized the longer I wait the more I forget the old me.  As I go through this next phase of change, I need to be able to better understand what is happening.  

I have never been a writer, but feel the need to write.  Fair warning I do not know how this blog will evolve, I have many interests and most revolve around nature and the development of our multiple gardening areas on our 10 acre mountain property.  My interest in gardening came about through a holistic health journey to manage fibromyalgia, anxiety, panic attacks and depression.

Since moving to this amazing place in the mountains of Ashe county North Carolina in 2014 I have done a lot of soul searching.  I was unaware upon moving here that my life would change SO drastically that the person I was, is but a faint memory and only in the eyes of those in my life that are still fighting to bring back the old me.  I still grieve for that person a bit, but only a “bit”
