ArtW what a great reminder!

Interesting to think about!

Thanks yogi dog! You're absolutely right  Ps I tried to reply via pm but got a message that you're pm is full.

Or something...feeling like I'm less than or not enough. I know these are lies. I'm me. An imperfectly OK human. Gotta try to catch a nap before working 3rd shift tonight

Really triggered unexpectedly today with fear and panic. Shouldn't be as surprised as I am...this is how my body responds to stress overload. But still feeling ashamed that I'm not tougher'

Thanks masterplumber!

You just did a 3 day....you got this! Keep us posted! (Yes this is from someone who hasn't camped but once let alone by myself...nonetheless, you sound just as badass as all the others here, go for it! ) as soon as I figure out the battery situate for my cpap machine I'll be doing the same...

Ha!  Yeah I doubt I will be a world van traveler by May!!!! That would be awesome yogidog!  I may very well still be in Chicago in May...the weather should be nice. I've been wanting to explore more of Michigan....I will definitely keep this in mind!!!  Thank you!!!  My first invite!  (Outside...

Mindy Lee, thank you so much for such a validating response! I am putting myself out there in an authentic way. It's a bit of a risk because let's face it, who really likes to be judged. But I really long for deeper connection with myself and others and in order to do so, I have to present...

Thanks yogidog, I definitely need to consider the pros/cons. Thank you for advising me about the women who are struggling currently adapting to this lifestyle. I do look forward to hearing about their journeys when they're able. Thank you also for getting it about the job. I know you've been...

OMG! The closer I get to really quitting, the more freaked out I get. This is such a risk. Nothing lost nothing gained? Something like that. I'm going through all the 'what ifs' what if I get sick, what if I never can make a dollar again, what if I stay in my current situation and c regret...

Thanks Brent for the input! Heading over to check out your blog now!

Looking at one on line at carmax...is this year ok?  I thought I read something about after a certain year something changed?  Sorry to be so vague. Struggling between a van and a prius.  I own a  camry currently as do many family members...they've very reliable vehicles so that peace of mind...

Sounds lovely!

I have been feeling called out west, specifically AZ. Initially, I will likely spend the winter months there and find part time or temporary work. I see myself spending summers visiting family when the kids are off school. Since I'm committed here until March 31, my adventure will begin in...

I missed this post until now.  Yes, Brad you obviously understand.  I actually work for a 'for profit' hospital organization.  God, I feel sick even thinking about that.  I get paid from a business that makes money off people who are at their worst.  What does that say about me?  Our motto is...

This morning, i decided to go outside barefoot in the grassy area of my apartment complex and just breathe. Laid on the ground and looked at the trees and the sky and the sun shinning through the leaves. Been here 8 years and never did that. Didn't care what anyone may have thought. Tears...

Since I got promoted a few weeks ago, I have been putting in 10-12 hours days, 5-6 days/week. It's been a roller coaster. Glad to have off tomorrow...fingers crossed no one calls off! Off to bed!

Thank you, Danny!  You are not the bad guy for speaking your opinion...we are allowed to think and feel however we do!  I also would never blame anyone formy decisions, so no need to worry there!

Absolutely!   I hope I didn't give the impression that I wasn't grateful for the explanations about what it meant to be self contained!  I was just trying to clarify is all!  Thank you all for your encouraging words!!!!
