My Story

My Story.My way.

Below is how I wrote my first about page here at Flowing Underground. So much has changed since I wrote this. I am no longer in Spain. We moved back to the United States in summer 2014. The world is changing at a more rapid pace in ways I never believed possible. So much of life gone by seems like a dream. 

I have added a video blog entry in which I talk about my journey with MECFS and Fibromyalgia.

The introduction:

Today our home is in a temperate valley nestled within the mountains surrounding Granada. A place of magic giving. Making the most of very little. Dreaming of making something big.

There was the time when… (or did I dream that?):

I sold my stuff and moved to Tucson
I sold my stuff and went to Mexico
We sold our stuff and moved to England
We kept our stuff and moved to Spain
All those times I moved back home to Oregon.
My forehead’s appearance in the Rolling Stone really pissed someone off
That guy from Morphine came to my birthday party.
Spicy-T and I…. (pleading the 5th for now)
We car camped,hostel hopped, and couch surfed Europe for 3 weeks with a family of 5
Exploring life and landscape on many beloved road trips and world travels
I was disabled for 3 years. And then I was given a second chance at life and use of my legs.
I did far too many stupid things to list individually. Frequently.Often.Repeatedly.
I learned some lessons along the way

I’ve been called (by myself and others in fact and fantasy):

Mother
Wife

World Citizen
Rainbow Sister With An Attitude

There is more. I’ll get to that later.
