I'm not ready to make this MAJOR shift in my life, but in all reality, I will never be fully prepared. After putting this off for two years, I'm not waiting any longer . . . No more excuses! My attitude is very simple: "I'd rather die happy, trying to live my dream over continuing an unhappy life." This adventure won't kill me - I'm smarter than that LOL (I think)! The bottom line is this - it's about to get very real!!! If you've been following my podcast, you know I have three dogs . . . They are also ready to move! We've been going on rides in the SUV to get them comfortable traveling, and they've been spending much more time inside with me because they can't be outside in the Arizona desert heat! The bottom line is; the Three Stooges are becoming quite spoiled! But, I'm okay with that. They are great dogs, and very smart! (Catahoula / Rhodesian Ridgeback mix) They quickly learned the sound of a rattlesnake and know to back away and bark like crazy! Someday, I will share video of the training.

With some unconventional thinking that is far outside the box, my homestead will produce absolutely no wastewater. Learn how - It's quite interesting.

So, let's talk about overcoming fictional fears and getting uncomfortable enough to achieve your goals and dreams. Let's discover how to conquer irrational fears and blaze a new trail in life!
