I'm missing the ocean waves, and the excitement of exploring nature with my family. It's been rough since we got home. My hubby had been scratched by our dog while camping and it ended up getting infected and the infection began to spread throughout his body. The antibiotics were not responding well because it was thought to be a dog related bacteria, but it ended up being staph. Once the culture came back they were able to treat him with the proper antibiotic and he began to recover quickly. So needless to say, I was absolutely terrified! He has been my safe space for the past 15 years and has helped me blossom into the person I am. He continues to challenge me in a loving way to better myself and really strive to make an impact in this world. Not to mention the kids have been so blessed to have a father who is not only involved but loving and kind. We cannot fathom life without him.
It's a dream of mine to have an acerage/small farm in bc where I can have an animal rescue and grow my own food.Every time I go back I just feel at peace, like this is where I'm meant to be. In the meantime, I'm learning what it means to take care of land and a home, and actively involving myself in my community. I currently volunteer on two boards and am trying to make time for a 3rd. I'm working towards saving up to finish my psychology and philosophy degree, while trying to create a meaningful photography business. I also aspire to write a book and own a restaurant. My hobbies include reading and listening to self help books and podcasts, participate in online courses on photography and other topics. I knit and crochet, and watercolor paint and have been learning how to garden. All this while being a mom to two young kids and a one year old Husky German Shepherd. We only get one life and it can be taken away at any moment. So why not go big? Why not dream wild...and go for it!
