@Michael -Thanks for the encouragement. I hope all goes well with your tiny house. My cousins have really turned me onto them. I might go in that direction. Keep up the good work!

@Pokinatcha – Going to the Philippines?! Oh wow…that’s gonna be awesome! Make sure to take a ton of pics and write down your experiences. Traveling overseas has been life changing for me! I can’t wait to go on another mission trip!

@Christy – You rock, girl! I’m praying for you. LOVED your WFW image today! Creative, encouraging and beautiful.

@Erica – Thank you for being such a source of inspiration to me. You’ve helped me out of many “ruts.”

@MaryBeth – I’m honored to know YOU, my friend. You’re a woman of great wisdom and encouragement. Thanks for your input in my life, I’m better because of it.

@Randy – Thanks! Obviously, I’m still in progress…but I’m learning to seek out what the Lord has for me. One choice at a time. And have fun with it.

Love the funemployment image!
I’m preparing for a missions trip to the Philippines next month. Guess, I’ll really see people who live with less.

Congratulations on turning lemons into lemonade, it’s not easy.

I found the same thing true about the main stream media. I got written up in the NY Times for a tiny house I’m building. It’s actually easier to get on TV and in the Paper than most people think.

If you can tell your story… whatever it is… and it has value to other people… eventually the media will want to tell it. Reporters are always looking for a good story. Blogging and tweeting are perfect for connecting with people and sharing stories.

Good Luck!
