Who We Are

This journey began at different times for each of us.  Brad has been a student of many different views of life and has done a lot of personal development over the years.  Kathy was pretty focused on being a Mom and Grandma without much introspection.  If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right?  Only it WAS broke.  As of spring of 2019 I had been on anti-depressants for 32 years and I was in a horrible pit of depressive despair.  I had a cough that would not go away, and the doctors told me “Sometimes we just don’t know why”.  We went to the Grand Canyon in March 2019 and my chest was feeling strange and tight.  My blood pressure was 223/118 by the time I got to the Emergency Department in Flagstaff, AZ.  No cardiac incident, thank goodness, but no help for the despair either.  Physically and emotionally I was falling apart.

In October we went to Brad’s Dad’s wedding in Southern California.  2 days after the wedding we went to San Clemente State Park to camp for a few days.  October 21, 2019 was the day that changed everything.  I had a mystical experience.  I began meditating after Brad did some research.  Since then my cough went away, I came out of my despair, my blood pressure normalized and I even stopped taking the antidepressants.  Pretty significant stuff. 

We bought a used 40’ RV to upgrade from our 25’ RV in February of 2020.  Our first trip was 1 week in Oklahoma, where Brad’s Mom and Sister live.  COVID hit while we were gone and we didn’t go home for 2 months.  We did just fine and during that time we made the decision to become full time RVers.  We sold most of our stuff, stored the rest and here we are, in Sedona AZ for the winter. 

As you can tell, I write.  A LOT.  Brad takes pictures.  He has done this since we met in 1998.  He has a wonderful eye and can take scenery pictures, band photos and people shots.  He works with light, sunsets, and children.  Together we are building out our dream website to share with everyone.
