Patience…everything happens for a reason
I’m not necessarily the most patient person. I try hard to wait patiently for things to happen. Don’t get me wrong I can wait patiently in a line but when it comes to dreams and goals I am not very patient. This week has been a serious challenge. We bought our new dream caravan and… Continue reading Patience…everything happens for a reason

Anxious Moments
This week should be super exciting. We’ve decided to upgrade the caravan. We’ve purchased our retirement van. The one we hope to travel Australia in.

Weight loss at Christmas time
My family has been very supportive. They know I’m on this journey and they’ve made sure there were healthy options for me. They’ve even embraced my commitment too quitting Diet Coke and have made sure there were beverage options for me too.
