Being considered 'crazy' by those who are still victims of cultural conditioning is a compliment!

Well, what a wonderful and magical time I have had, mostly in Cumbria, but also Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Dorset and the midlands, learning to live in my small space, and loving it!
I am honestly really enjoying my travelling life, being nomadic is the best thing ever- I simply pick up and go...somewhere, anywhere!!!!

Please [if you haven't already] take a look at my YouTube channel... so many videos on there, to give you my impression of this 'van life'.
Twice now I have used up all my internet credit, so from this month there will be less updates from me, phew...everyone says?!! But there are over 50 videos for you to catch up on?...

I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I've become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what degrades me, stresses me, hurts me, or that I find to be pointless. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. In friendship, I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. In short, after much soul searching, I have decided to trust myself, believe in myself, and do what I need to do. The rest can follow my adventures, be there if and when I pop back, or fade away.
Life really is too short to get drawn into a world of spite, life is about living, searching, loving- and finding out what really works for YOU.
Are you really living life, or just paying bills until you die?

In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of simply being. That, in a nutshell, is what my journey is all about, a time to slow the pace of life down, feel gratitude and to remember that I am blessed.

That stress you’ve placed upon your shoulders is going to crush you. Get rid of it. You don’t need to be perfect, you don’t need to have it all sorted and you don’t need to please everyone. Place that heavy burden on the ground, throw it into the sea, expel it from your being. You will be lighter in mind, body, and soul. Say no without explanation.

Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they will end the friendship. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing and the ones that often become activists for the broken-hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.

You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologise for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less travelled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though everybody is watching. Live, love, laugh and do whatever feels right for you. March to the beat of your own drummer, and stubbornly refuse to fit in.

Cumbria

So, what an incredible month, glorious weather... been chilling out, going wherver the fancy takes me, and getting to grips with actually appreciating the life that I live. Its all cool....

Dorset

So much to say, but I think I have mostly said it in my videos, please take a look MY CHANNEL

The old quarry, Kimmeridge Dorset

So, the family meet up turned into an 'eat and go', why would anyone arrange something on the same evening? A shame, my Mum thinks it is best to cancel them now, which I have agreed with.

Apart from that, all is cool, weather amazing, and I am making plans......its all in the videos!!

Be well. Peace  -x-

22. 'ISHI'

22. Sept 2014.

For any kind soul who would like to donate something little, to help me on my travels!

Ishi, playing Peek-a-boo!

Funny looking back, which is the whole idea of this blog... entry number 3 has this-

My [half a] plan is this:-

1, Sell my house

2, Buy a Motorhome

3, Live in the Motorhome for a year, and still work fulltime

4, Save as much as possible

5, Jack in work, and travel

6, Live a more simple life on the road

So I did it arse about face, but numbers 1, 2 and 5 have been achieved, and 6 is where I am at! Not too bad to have done it all in 15/16 months. If it wasn't for all the time I have spent helping my old Mum out, I would have done this within the year.

We all make excuses as to why we can't change our lives, yet when it comes down to it, we all can, but most [secretly] don't want to.

But thats cool, some people have a need to be settled on familiar ground, and they always will. We are all different.

I really wanted out of the dead end town I was in, for lots of reasons, mostly it held nothing for me on a spiritual level. It is one of those towns where people just tend to plod on, not really enjoying where or how they live, but to them it is home. To me, it never was.

When you meet someone who is spiritually healthy, you're immediately drawn to that person. You feel good just by being around them. These people are magnets for happiness, freedom and generosity, and have a unique ability to enjoy the present moment. They are more relaxed and at ease with themselves, feeling that they do not need to impress, but simply be.
I don't think in the 7 years I lived there, that I could point out one single person like this!

The only way you can achieve true spiritual satisfaction is by following your heart’s desires. Are those people really following what is deep within themselves, and if they are, why continue in the same town, often in the same house with the same job and friends? 

Here are 20 signs you're spiritually healthy and on the right path.

1. You stepped out of the victim role and now play the game of designing your OWN destiny.

2. You love your life because you're living your souls purpose.

3. You feel like you are living your own life.

4. You got off the emotional roller coaster, and your emotions feel like smooth waves on a clear day most of the time.

5. You simply enjoy nature, and get out as often as possible to be amongst the trees, you sit under the clouds, and gaze at the stars at night.
6. You don't fear making the wrong decision, because you're aware that there can always be a spiritual lesson.

7. You understand that freedom and happiness are qualities you cultivate from within, and the more you work on them, the more they grow.

8. You no longer feel like you need to hide out of fear of judgment; you are the full expression of yourself personally and professionally.

9. You spend time in silence daily and crave it when you miss a day, because you feel like something is off.

10. You have the courage to let go of relationships that no longer benefit you because you understand that they already served their purpose.

11. Your soul is happy because you find a moment to play and dream every single day.

12. You don't feel lonely or disconnected, and you highly appreciate alone time.

13. You seem to notice details, colours, tastes and beauty with a sensibility that makes you feel like a kid.

14. You express your needs and desires with complete confidence and without confrontation.

15. You don't feel like you have to explain your lifestyle, because you understand how it serves you and might not serve others.
16. You’re able to be in the now at least 25% of the time; you're fully present and in joy.

17. Without smugness, you know you are awake, and understand it is impossible to wake others.

18. You trust that life is on your side and problems are always opportunities or lessons to be learned.

19. You are aware that society needs to change, and have started with yourself by side stepping it.

20. You start your day with an intention and go to bed in gratitude.

Often people tend to live their lives backwards, they try to have more things or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.
The way it actually works is the reverse, you must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.

To change, you must first be sick and tired of being sick and tired, only then will you wake up and change your life, until then you will find yourself living where and how you usually do, and doing as you usually do, all the while you are getting older watching your life ebb away, the time to change hasn't passed, it is now, tomorrow just might be too late. Wake up- you might just surprise yourself!

***********************************************************

So, we roll into September, and much has changed. Mostly, I have had no internet for the larger part, but thats fine as it has meant more walking, photos, meditating, reading and spending the the time being outside and enjoying what nature has to show me.

I haven't been living this life for long [a month], but already I have seen things I might never have seen otherwise. A double rainbow, flocks of geese and loads of crows, sunshine, showers and crazy winds, multi-coloured clouds...and so much more! Especially the trees.... There's so much humanity in a love of trees, so much nostalgia for our first sense of wonder, so much power in just feeling our own insignificance when we are surrounded by nature, this is the life we all NEED to live.
The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours- it is an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.
This is the day your life really begins.

For the most part, I am really enjoying this way of living. It suits me just fine. Obviously it is very frustrating not being able to watch and upload youtube videos, but there you go, shit happens. There is plenty for me to do, without that.
The small problems I have had with hot water [lack of it], no electric etc, has bugged me, but not got me down, I am soaking up this new life, and making the most of every minute.
The only time you should look back is to see how far you have come.

So life is good, I feel somehow more contented, at peace with myself and the world, I have let go of so much, and have no clue what is going on in the world. I know what is happening in MY world, that's all I need.

I have had what you might call 'teething' problems, but again that is to be expected, and has not phased me. I have really enjoyed Ishi coming to life and looking, feeling and smelling like my home.

We have another family meet up later in the month which will be nice, especially if the weather is kind to us, it isn't often we all get together- and the kids all enjoy themselves.
If any family are reading this and want to book a few tables, please see the files part of the group, I have asked on the group a couple of times if someone can phone, but no one has yet.
If not, it doesn't really matter, we can always let it go.

My Mum had a nasty fall, bless her. So it stopped me in my tracks for a while, but she soon bounced back- especially after we did her front garden for her.
I mentioned last time that she spent £180 on a food shop, as she is worried she will not get a lift to the shops, so please have a chat amongst yourselves, and arrange something. Cheers.

A giraffes coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of its throat, ever think of that? No, you only ever think of yourself!!!

I may not be who I ought to be- I know I'm not all that I want to be- But I've come a long way from who I used to be- And I won't give up on becoming what I know I can be!

Video tour number TWO of my new home- enjoy!

I spent a week in August doing my Mums garden for her, she now has a reasonably flat astro turf front lawn with a bench. Just the new fence and farmyard animals to go...

August was a month of great change and new beginnings. Finally the house went, and I am now living on the road fulltime in my motorhome named 'Ishi', I have joined the rolling people and I honestly couldn't be happier.
I got to see quite a few old friends, and some new at the end of the month, and have experienced freedom and a deep inner peace is currently washing through me.
My life isn't perfect, but I am finding a new side to myself, I feel blessed and so very grateful every single day. I now feel as though my life is coming together.
It's funny being parked up somewhere, not being quite sure where I am, yet I am at home!

I met up with Andy and Lore, and had a great time, just chatting and chilling together- often life needs no more than that. Wonderful people.

So, onwards with my travels............. be well. PEACE -x-

my birthday on the road...  Me, waking up to find someone had stolen another bloody year from me!!!
