Introducing myself and my journal: We Are Earth

About Me:
i'm living off the grid– solar and wind energy, in a round yurt, deep in the redwoods and tan oaks coastal hills of northern, california. i have just spend and incredibly precious 18 months, getting to know myself after years of living a production-based, people-pleasing lifestyle. it does seem that i have reinvented myself many times in my 48 years, but this past year and a half was singly dedicated to the pursuit of joy. i am baffled by all the stifling beliefs that this one single human has developed in such a short time on the planet, and most of them when i was just a little girl. i had to hang out with that little girl a lot during my self-induced sabbatical in order to even glimpse the experience of deep, delicious joy. many thoughts interfered with my mission. i recommend that a person only prioritize joy if she is truly ready to make a radical life transformation. for me, it's a lifelong journey with enough centered moments to keep me in pursuit.
i'm currently in the creative stage of carving out a sweet little business for myself promoting the works of creative, earth-based women.
i love being loud and professional when it comes to getting the word out about someone/thing close to my passions.
