i'm back! unfortunately, with no good news to deliver. at least, no good news in terms of this BIGney shrinking. i feel compelled to post anyway, given that most of our success' in life are announced then applauded, while our defeats go tip-toe through the night, in hopes that they wake no one. WAKE UP!!! let's face it, i'm struggling...and with those words come great opportunities for advancement. our brain controls our body so change begins with our thoughts, including the ones where i say to self, this ain't working!my good news starts off in a quiet little town, nestled on one of the many finger peninsulas of midcoast Maine. i have a wharf, a mile down the road, and enough trees and space to enjoy peaceful solitude. my life will be good here. our family has been searching for a place to call home and a place to lay down roots, a double entendre, for as long as i can recall... so, here, is where and when the true transformation begins. here, is where my new journey starts, and now is the time.

we are excited to grow a garden...maintain a small farm, and put my husband's and family's industrious minds to work, creating whatever we need, to make it on our own. i don't want to continue making the same mistakes we've been making. that is, relying on everything externally, to create a bountiful life. more action = better health. i was very excited to speak with a women yesterday, who raises Nigerian dwarf goats. boy, is she excited to get us started.

old cemeteries, hydrangeas, local food,
trees, history, blueberry barrens,
antique shops, lobster... some of the many reasons we love it here already...
mostly i love it, because my boys are here.

this year for Christmas, we decided to cut down our own tree on our own lot. this is very symbolic of what i want the new year to represent for myself. everything we need is right there, it's with us. i need to remember this each and every time i'm frustrated or tired..or in need of inspiration. we will always have what we need within ourselves. i hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday and i look forward to the beginnings of a new year. this year will be full of new adventures and exciting additions....can't wait to fill you all in.
