My husband and I have relocated from California to South Carolina. After being retired in Mexico for four years, we have been in the Southeast for three years now. This has been an adjustment period, to life in the United States again, after living in a small fishing village in Mexico, and then moving to a new region of this wonderful country! What an adventure it has been! It is fun, scary, wonderful and weird!Today I am joining the Party at Grow Your Blog. It is being hostessed by Vicki at

This blog is my way of recording our journey of adjusting to our new life and new circumstances.
I initially started it to write about the steps we are taking to start over and create some sort of small business from home, to sustain us as we age. My husband is 70 years young and I am a 54 years young, and we have been growing younger each year we have been together! We just celebrated 10 years of marriage!
What I have found is that this journey is harder than I imagined, but along the way there are wonderful lessons and experiences that are ours to learn and live. Trying to live with gratitude, despite what the lessons might be is my biggest challenge.
We live on five acres, which are densely wooded with four dogs and a cat named Max. My mom has joined us here and has a home behind our house. I am blessed to have her here, and not far away.
I love to garden. I am a wanna be farmer. I have high hopes for chickens this spring! I would love to clear some land and start a flower farm, but money is not available for that adventure yet! I have started a small sewing business, but have not given it my full attention and am struggling to create something that will fulfill my love of art, design, sustainability, creativity and still help pay the bills!
If money were not an issue, I would be a full-time learner!! I love learning. I love school! I love workshops! There are so many possibilities out there, and so little time! Hopefully, I will carve out a way to combine my love of learning, love of creating, and love of life to sustain us!
It is a tall order, but in my heart I know that it will happen when it is suppose to. We have started making soap, and that has been great fun and gives us hope for the future!
The most important goals are to be grateful, peaceful, healthy and happy. Laughter is the best thing in the world!
The motto here is Baby Steps, Just Baby Steps!

"Two things define you,
Your patience when you
have nothing,
and
Your attitude when
you have everything."
