The Adventure Machine

I want to take this time to give thanks to those who love The Adventure Machine. We have been out and about a lot lately, visiting local neighborhoods. The positive response has been AMAZING. I am deeply humbled and blessed. These may be tough times, but the spirit remains strong. That’s what us humans do. We carry on. We move forward. We endure.

A friend texted recently: Lol I love you and you’re so adorable. ❤️ I love that you appreciate the little things in life.

And

I DO. I really love and notice all the little things.

While we spend time building our website, we are also renovating our living space. We are filming and learning what all goes with that. Creativity and being able to express myself is so important. Being a life long learner, I am pursuing Beekeeping as I have 80 acres to create a sanctuary for these lovely creatures. This is to honor my parents who were true pioneers and trend setters. Homesteading is truly a “thing” now. 40 years ago I recall it was viewed a lot differently. Still, they marched on.

A child asked me a few weeks ago who was my influence. My influence is my parents. They did life on their terms and for the amount of children they had, they certainly did OK. It wasn’t easy but it certainly taught me survival and that nobody was going to save you, help you, and on many levels not hurt you. RIP

I want to especially reach out to those who are suffering right now. I can relate!! I want to tell you this:

THINGS GET BETTER!!! They really do. I am not just saying this. I lived this. It won’t be easy! The BEST things never are. But there are people out there for you. There are also UNLIMITED hobbies within your reach. There are unlimited opportunities and communities ready to embrace you.

For me, it started with a dietary change to heal and support my thyroid. It took several years, but it took that long to make changes and change bad habits.

I am now healthy, HAPPY, and secure. If I can do it, so can you. You have to want it though and work through the struggles.

There may be a pervert next door that quietly says through the fence, “Why don’t you just kill yourself?” Or the bully child down the street who accosted another child with autism…maybe you even initially thought it was horseplay between kids and then you find out later the child had some difficulties,,, maybe in the struggle for peace you find that peace truly starts inside and you learn to adjust your response to things that don’t make sense, don’t seem logical, nor completely fair without prejudice- you, my trooper – march on. You Got This. You really do!

One question often asked – Can I take a picture? YES!!!!! The Adventure Machine is great for that. It makes soooo many people smile and that makes it WELL WORTH IT!!! When we are out and about, tons of people take pictures and the joy is contagious. From the screaming to picture taking to people coming up to chat,,,,I love meeting new people. It’s surreal the amount of people I meet and talk to. It gives me hope for humanity and the will and drive to survive.

It is the simple things! Thanks Nat. I so enjoy everything about you!!!!!

I love you all! And remember, an adventure doesn’t need to be huge or costly. It’s the little things in life that truly matter. Be safe, be YOU, and have a heck of a good time.

Stay tuned for giveaways. It is one of the most joyous things we do!

Cheers –
