And so it begins! 

Above, you see my first tiny house purchase. I spent $1.50 at the local thrift store on these beautiful, colorful tiles. They are the epitome of my style and my energy. I decided recently when I died my hair rainbow, that rainbow was my favorite color. I always adopted my grandmas favorite color, which was green. I love green. In HS my favorite colors were bright orange and lime green. And today, I don't really love one color more than another. So, my favorite color is rainbow. My Dad keeps busting my chaps, checking in with me on my dating preferences. He thinks I am going to come out as lesbian one of these days. I think its funny. Maybe some day I will bring a girl home to meet him, just for shits and giggles. HAHA! But for now, I like the men... 

I have been working away thinning down my things. I have my best dear friend selling some of my furniture for me. I have gone thru a lot of my clothes and the stuff I have left in my closet is flowing, comfortable and bright colored! Sounds about right. 

I will be going thru my kids clothes and toys soon and we will be having a booth at the kids sale at their school, Five Acre in Sequim on the 17th of October. 

It feels so amazing to downsize. I feel so light and free already. I am enjoying my journey immensely, and it has only just begun. My wonderful friends and family are surrounding me with support and lovely kind words. I feel so fortunate and grateful to be in this community and to have so many resourceful loving people around me. If you are reading this, and sending me loving thoughts, thank you. There is no limit to what you can do, especially when your energy and thoughts are positive. Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring. Please join me on my journey of awareness, self discovery and getting what you want in your own life, if you feel inspired to. I would love to see and hear about your paths. We learn a lot from each other in this life, so I invite you to teach me something if you choose. Leave a comment. 

Why do I want to live in a Tiny House?

It's the lifestyle. I want to be free of the hold that the world has on people. It is a vicious money cycle that I hope to slip right around and not have to deal with much anymore, and teach my kids to skirt it as well. People in this world work to afford their lifestyles, and I just don't want to be driven by money. I want to do something in life not because I can or cannot afford it, but because I want to do it. And, I intend on teaching my children the same thought patterns. 

What kind of wonderful people will they grow up to be if I teach them about wanting experiences instead of things? There is a generation gap that is currently being bridged. Our parents (the baby boomers) grew up working hard, for everything. They also taught our generation to work hard. But, when it comes to us teaching our kids, the newest generation, the baby boomers have harsh judgements for them. "They think life comes easy, they don't have to work for anything, they get things handed to them and are now feeling entitled."

But, here is where we bridge the gap, the middle generation is learning things. New things. That our parents weren't necessarily right, about how we should go about life. So, we build tiny houses and we make them roll their eyes. And, we teach our kids that anything in the world can be theirs if they but want it enough.
Thinking with your heart creates attraction and pull for things to simply come to you, if you are wanting them. I grew up working hard for everything I had. And now I have realized that it does take action, but it also takes attraction.
Building this tiny house is my movement into what I have learned. I have worked my butt off in the past to pay my bills. What bills? Rent? ----> I'm building a tiny house CHECK Food? ----> Gardening, Foraging, Berries, Canning, Hunting, Trapping etc CHECK ... and so on ... I do have a business, I work HARD at collecting food and preserving it, BUT it is something I LOVE to do. CHECK
Moral of the story: do what you love. Don't work in the hopes of doing what you love on your days off.
