Things I would like to do/accomplish:
Short-term(ish) realistic-
-Hike the Appalachian Trail or Pacific Crest Trail
-Take a canoe/camping trip over the course of 1 to 2 weeks
-Travel the country in a converted bus or van selling artwork and being adventurous
-Take a back-country camping trip (I've never done it)
-Go to one of the National Rainbow Family Gatherings that are held yearly in the first week of July
-Sell at least one piece of mosaic art work
-Take creative nonfiction writing classes
-Learn to brew a good, dark, malty beer!
-Learn to do an oil change on my car
-Learn all I can to be more self-sustainable (ie. skinning a hyde, butchering, milking and making cheese, gardening, etc.)
-Make a sourdough starter that I can keep and pass along to others as the starter grows
Longer-term/and still contemplating:
-Start a small hostel in the mountains that serves a delicious breakfast every morning
(or)
-Open a cafe in an artsy-fartsy mountain town that also serves a delicious breakfast. No to-go cups. Only mugs to sit and enjoy the creative atmosphere :)
-Own a kiln and pottery wheel
-Write a book
-Live in a yurt (preferably a yurt community) with close friends who work together raising animals, planting gardens, baking delicious breads, and being creative and active and involved in the world- preserving and using the earth and talents that God gave us
-Travel around with my kids in a converted bus or RV showing them the beautiful people and scenery of this world
-Go to culinary school to learn how to better worship God through the gift of tasty food- when we eat and enjoy it we are worshiping God. He delights in us taking joy in how we take care of our bodies
Anybody want to do these things with me!? Let's get started :)
