In through the out door.

Greetings Friends....I have been contemplating joining your community for quite a while, and I'm glad to finally be here.

Right now I am in the process of converting my '01 Explorer into a habitable vehicle. The rental lease on our house ends in mid-January. I have decided to take up residence in my vehicle because I am low-income and I do not want to live in an apartment in  a depressed area. My dog and I will be moving into it by the end of December. My dog is the light of my life!

My boyfriend and I are splitting up after 8.5 years. Our breakup is amicable and we are still best friends. I do anticipate an emotionally difficult departure, and I have always wanted to work through differences in relationships even though it might not be the best thing.

I am looking forward to creating some meaningful bonds with other members so I don't feel so isolated. It is a lonely decision in so many ways. Despite having experienced difficult chapters throughout my life, I feel fragile at times.

I made my decision almost a year ago and have watched countless videos, read numerous books (including Bob's) and multiple blogs. The research has been endless, but I still have so many questions.

There are so many loose ends to tie up in my life and I'm hoping that posting on the boards it will keep me focused and on track. It's something I struggle with. Perhaps I will also have some ideas and thoughts worth contributing as well.

Thanks so much for having me.
