The Lioness Lair

I am a 27 year old outdoor enthusiast, book worm, gamer, and home cook nerd. I also identify as a lioness therian.

Animal

In each and every one of us there is an animal. We tame it with the luxuries of wealth and comfort. It grows docile and weak within our hearts until soon, without our knowing, the animal is suddenly domesticated, unwilling to tread upon earthen ground or swim in swollen rivers.  Remember - do not grow complacent. Do not become too comfortable in your mundane life. The animal in each and every one us needs to feed - on wanderlust and adventure and the dangers of this wild world.

I just want to wander into the woods, get lost and never come back.

Different Strokes?

I think I left the teller at the bank genuinely disturbed when I told him that “If I can’t afford it, I just don’t buy it.”  “What about a car? Do you drive a car?” he inquired, his voice toning on the edge of fear.   I told him, “Yeah, I have a vehicle. I bought it used for under $3,000.”  He looked physically pained. “What about if you want to buy some kind of new appliance? Or furniture?” he persisted. I stared at him blankly. “My couch was $5.00 at Goodwill. Like…I just buy shit cheap or I don’t buy it at all. The only thing in my life that I make payments on is my house, my bills, and my insurance, and that’s split five ways because I have housemates.”  The young man looked horrified? Appalled? And somehow also awed?  This guy couldn’t have been much older than me. But it seemed that he’d never even considered the option before of saving up for something to purchase it outright instead of using a credit card. Am I the only person in my general age group (just turned 26) who’s never owned a credit card, and who has forgone basic comforts in order to save up for items so you don’t owe money to anyone, like, ever?

Nope, I'm 29 and live the same way. Never had a credit card ever. Don't want it and don't need it.

It's been a while Tumblr.

Summer sped by me this year. Family visits, weddings, and a business trip controled practically all my free time. And then also this guy.

Allow me to introduce our new child. We adopted him at the end of July, he's a 1 year old bull terrier. Its been 9 years since my husband and I have had a dog under 2, so this little pup has kept bus pretty busy. I love him!

Don't worry my garden is still going, although not everything kept growing or produced like I had planned. I'm behind on canning and we're already almost 2 weeks into hunting season with nothing in the freezer yet. No worries, there is still time and I will update when we get back to it.

Happiness is not a constant state of being: It’s a momentary feeling brought about by an array of positive experiences - experiences which you often have to go out and create for yourself. Whether that means climbing to the top of a mountain, or putting two teaspoons of honey in your tea instead of just one - go for it. #washington #hiking #adventure #outdoors #nature #wilderness #wildernessculture #hike #backpacking #wild #pnw #pacificnorthwest #washingtonstate #explorewashington #explore #travel #adventureculture @washingtonexplored @washingtontrails @wander_washington @pnw.exploring @pnw_compass @pnwonderland @staypnw @pnwild_ #wander_washington #pnwild #pnw_compass #pnwonderland #pnw.exploring #pnwpride #wanderlust
