  • Description

    After several decades of careful consideration, I’ve finally decided what I want to be when I grow up: Content, Curious, and Free.
    How to accomplish that is another matter entirely, but I’m working it out as I go.
    Here’s what I think I know so far:
    -When I embrace the unknown, my curiosity grows and I find myself appreciating the buffet of life, including the parts I don’t particularly like.
    -I’ve discovered more joy in facilitating others projects than I ever did in pursuing my own, and focusing on enhancing the lives of others seems to enhance mine more than anything else I’ve tried.
    -Being in nature heals and recharges me.
    -Random experiences and connecting with others is where I find true value, and I’ve come to sacrifice comfort and security in order to pursue them.

    I know it doesn’t seem like much, but you should see where I started from. I used to think I knew a lot more. Turns out I was wrong, hahaha.

    (Tom shares these sentiments, he’d just use different words.)

    Minimal experience working with farm animals
    Zero photography skills (as evidenced by our profile pictures, lol)

    I know there’s more I could list here, I’m just not sure there’s a high demand for things like my chainmaille weaving abilities or roller derby skills.

    Tom has a particular love of working with animals, and of the gathering, cutting, and splitting of wood. He’s also an entertaining story-teller.

    We can be taught and are eager to learn just about anything.

  • Age

    46 & 48

  • What else ...

    I enjoy puzzles of all sorts, particularly jigsaw and logic, weaving chainmaille, reading, meditation, and crocheting.

    We both enjoy gaming, writing, good conversation, music, creative projects, and soaking in nature.

    I am reliably lazy in the morning. Brain fog needs time to lift and system needs time to reboot. I’ve tried to change this in the past, now I just accept and work with it. If you need butt-crack-of-dawn people, I am not the one, haha. Tom is capable of forcing himself to be up and at ‘em, but doesn’t prefer it.
