The Power of Writing: 3 Types of Therapeutic Writing

Some of us think that writing is only for writers. But writing is for all of us. As Julia Cameron notes in her book The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life, ‘I believe we all come into life as writers.’ Writing can be beneficial for all of us, because it can be therapeutic. One of the most powerful parts of therapy is cultivating the ability to observe our thoughts…

Feeling Restless

The closer we get to getting our RV and hitting the road, the more restless and anxious I become. We are now just a few weeks from our goal. You would think that I would be motivated and overjoyed, but that isn’t how my unruly brain works. It might be better if this whole thing was just sprung on me at the last minute.

If you have read my previous blog posts then you know about my depression and…

Will the RV, Van Life and Tiny House Movement Become a Fad?

RV living and the tiny house movement have been gaining momentum over the past couple of years. I know that I simply cannot believe the number of bloggers and YouTubers alike that have made the decision to live small. And in the case of an RV or van, live on the move. When I first discovered this lifestyle I really thought that we would be pretty isolated, I mean who does this? I was so wrong.…

The Van Life Movement

I am sure that by now almost everyone has seen this hashtag on various forms of social media, usually along with the most beautiful photos. #vanlife is big. Young people are leaving the ordinary for something that seems extraordinary. They live in vans that they usually have converted themselves, and the ones that I have seen look very professional. They get to travel across the continent and…

Minimalism with Teens: 5 Ways That We Eliminate Clutter

#1: The Library

We spend a lot of time at the library lately and it has inspired me to get rid of a lot of our books that we have collecting dust. They were like the last vestige of my hoarding days. I have found some amazing resources the library to use alongside our curriculum and the kids were all able to find books that they wanted to read. Which in and of…

RV Living: Consider the Cost

As many of you already know (I talk about it constantly right?) my family is buying an RV in a couple of months and moving to Washington state. Well, before we made this difficult decision we had to weigh the cost. Is it really cheaper to live in an RV vs a house?

I mean what about gas? What about the cost of parking at an RV park? What about wear and tear on the thing? Well I have to say,…

Is it illegal to live in your RV?

Ok so today I came across an article. It was written in Spring of 2018, so not so long ago. The article is discussing what to do with the homeless people living in RV’s in this parking lot that was designated for them to park in. Makes no sense, these people are not homeless. They have a home, it is just on wheels (um mobile homes, hello?) and some of them may not run anymore. Still have a roof…

Writing is my Therapy

I have written about my anxiety quite a lot by this point, but I wanted talk more about my chosen therapy for it. I have been journaling throughout this year and I am now really considering turning my journals into a memoir. The source of my anxiety is undoubtedly my traumatic childhood, and getting it all out on paper has saved my sanity this year. Would publishing it help others in the same…

Handcrafted Beads and Hemp

Some of my bracelets

I have recently begun making beaded and hemp bracelets. It started as an exercise to help my anxiety but it began to be something that I truly enjoyed. I love making things with my hands, which is definitely a new thing for me. I was never interested in this kind of thing. I mean I failed home ec in high school! But apparently I am a changed gal! Knitting will be my next…
