My Trailer Trash Dream
Every movie star has a story about the moment they realized life could be a little more... unscripted. For me, it started with a character named Larleen — and a dream that rolled right off the page and onto the highway. Yes… turns out I am like my character, Larleen. I had a dream to travel around the country in an RV — and it happened! Turns out… I am trailer trash! 😄 We weren’t sure we’d love RV life. We weren't even sure how many months we'd try it. But renting one was


When a Dream Feels Too Difficult
What if it’s really not that difficult to open the gate? This is the story of how a simple thought turned into a fun road trip. Doubt Before the Dream I can’t do it. It’s too difficult.I don’t know where to start. It’s easier not to do anything. It’s comfortable to stay the same. But dang… it sounds like so much fun! Then one day, an idea pops into your mind — and suddenly, you feel that spark of excitement. You can’t stop thinking about it. You feel motivated, inspired. That


The Medicine Within: Two Healing Tools
For years, I believed that healing only came from outside of me — from doctors, medicine, or experts who surely knew better than I did. But after wrist surgery, I discovered something much deeper: our bodies know how to heal. They just need us to listen — with patience, peace, and a little faith. Sometimes we do need doctors, medicine, or surgery. And sometimes, we can help ourselves heal more fully after the surgery is done. Breaking My Wrist — and Opening My Mind I broke

Drifting Along the Rivers: An Empath’s European Cruise
Some journeys are measured in miles… Others in the whispers of your own soul. For 16 days, we followed the Danube and Rhine Rivers from Budapest to Amsterdam, aboard a Viking River Cruise. Beautiful towns, breathtaking views, and a boat full of people—180 in total. But for an empath like me, this wasn’t just a vacation. It was a test of energy, patience, and the ability to reclaim my spirit amidst constant social currents. I love being social, but I need alone time to recharg


The Approval Trap — and How to Step Out of It
Just when you think you’ve learned the lesson… life sends a sequel. Have you ever wanted someone else’s approval?Whether it’s for a big decision… or something small? I sure have. For many years, I wanted my parents’ and older sister’s approval. For big and small things.

Like their yes validated my yes. G

How Introducing Yourself like a Movie Star Can Change Your Life
