Its been one year since I returned to my home town of Parry Sound to teach yoga, save money and reconnect with my childhood best friend. And what a year its been. In some ways its been absolutely amazing and in other ways I feel I've become too comfortable and may have lost myself a little.
Weird right, to be a little down on getting comfortable? But I do feel a little down about it. My work schedule left me ragged all year pulling long hours as a waitress and yoga teacher, not too mention the extra little bits I've been doing here and there at the studio and for some other entrepreneurs. With the lack of time I've found myself taking the easy way out, spending mornings at Starbucks and keeping to the indoors on my down time.
Phil and I are working on purchasing a home in the Yukon finally and as the news spreads to my students so to does the realization that I've changed. People are questioning my travel experience, my ability to rough it, and my knowledge on all things off-grid. Funny, a year ago they didn't know me and those who did would nominate me number one to rock the Yukon lifestyle.
Its a bizarre little struggle to present ourselves to others in the way we want them to see us without falsely throwing ourselves into it in a fully cartoonish way.

I will try to commit to this blogging endeavour as we make the big move and adjust, though at this point nothing is finalized in the sale and no promises can be made that the funds will be available. That is all for another post entirely as the ins and outs of an off-grid purchase are a complete nightmare.
To be shared as well will be the story of our static year, the garden, the dates, the winter and the pups.
