Dear diary

Yesterday an article came out in the Newburyport news on me and my little floating home. Inspired by Dawn after she helped me out framing to pay me back for helping her with a catering job. I loved the article and that she focused on my desire to connect to nature and learn. It got many positive responses and an outpouring of congratulations. It made me bold and excited and feel like I'm on the right path to unknown amazing destinations!

 This is living in your element…

This is being on MY right path!

And I feel no pressure, I'm learning tons and able to fix things and know what to worry about and what not to (most things).

In fact yesterday I had issues with the ice and water shield for the roof and was able to just solve it on my own with confidence. I also was able fix the joists in the roof to get it ready for the boat hatch.

I have more people interested in helping out now and giving me pointers, and I take it all in stride. Grateful for everything and any offers. I see this a a tool to help me build community too. Funny how I had planned earlier this year to live in a regenerative community someday planning this build as my way to gaining the knowledge and skills necessary for me to make a contribution...and yet it feels like I’m creating that community right here, right now.

I see first hand now the myriad of benefits following your heart leads to...things unimaginable...things we limit ourselves with because ..well,that’s what everyone does and what everyone is raised to do.

Hard to break out of it...but a vision certainly helps!

And boy do I have a BIG vision in a tiny package!
