I've neglected my blog for almost three years.
Three years I've wanted to write so much, and when it came down to it, did I really want to share everything with the world.
YES!
I do want to share with you. I want to share what's been going on, what I have been feeling, what I've been going through, my ups and downs...I want to start sharing again.
So, what is my blog about?
It used to be about my life as a wife, a mother, and a farmer.
I used to advocate about TBI, Hydrocephalus, Rare diseases, and things that affected me in my daily life.
Now, it's going to be about things that affect me in my daily life...however...it's now going to be about van living, fighting for my rights, thoughts, and people I meet.
And, I will tell you...I will tell everyone...
I live in my van. I got tired of landlords evicting me for asking for a wheelchair ramp, I got tired of roommates that decide to screw me over, and I'm tired of having to fight for every little thing that other people take for granted...like being able to get into their apartment or house.
It's tough, it's expensive at times, but I have a nice little schedule worked out.
Most days, you will find me at the Gateway Truck Stop...You meed the most amazing people there. Truck drivers that come through town once a week, those that don't ever come back again.
The local firemen that come for breakfast, and sometimes have to leave in a hurry in the middle of their meal. The older gentleman that I"m really worried about...he's all alone, and I don't think he eats much. I've paid for his meals a couple of times. The couple that home schools their son and daughter. The family that comes in after church every Sunday. The group of men that must have been friends for a very long time that comes in for coffee every morning.
Living in my van has made me aware of how little space I have, and that I can get by with very little. I miss my crafting, I miss my jewelry making, I miss my sewing...but I don't think I would trade it for anything right now.
Slowly, I"m coming back to myself. When everything happened three years ago, lost myself and it has been a very long road, but I"m making it. Life will throw you curve balls. You can expect at least one surprise every day. And there are still good people out in the world.
So, with that said....
HI! I'm Marci, I've been away for a while, but I think I've finally found my voice again. And, boy do I have a lot to tell you.
