šReintroducing Myself & My Evolving Focus.
Hello Friends old and new,
āØFirst, thanks for being here.
āØIām Alison, a wife, mother, sister, tia and friend.
šDog mom to my sidekick multi-purpose Dutch Shepherd .
šI am a passionate writer, obsessive traveler and constantly looking for the next adventure while focusing on my physical and mental health daily.
šItās been a minute since Iāve really opened up. Some of you know that life threw me a heartbreaking curveball when I unexpectedly lost my daughter. Her years of tests, medications and weekly trips to the ER/ICU were not stories I wanted to tell.
I lost my first child and my best friend within weeks of having a life saving surgery.
I donāt share my daily tears, my screams into my pillow or my hourly breathing sessions to force my heart rate to slow.
I have no intention to. But I do intend to continue to find and share what helps in hopes I can help you somehow, some way.
šAs I get back full time into the swing of things, Iāve been taking the time to heal and reflect, and through that journey, I realized I need to pivot from what Iāve shared in the past.
āØGoing forward, Iāll still give you peeks into my personal life as a 50+ woman figuring it all out, but Iām going to pour more energy into creating helpful and inspiring content.
āØAlexandra was insanely creative. She was a wonderful artist, cook and baker. I, on the other hand, have never been. Truthfully, until she passed Iāve never had any desire to do any of the above.
šSHE is my daily inspiration and the reason I get out of bed every single day, continue to stay fit and healthy, and to learn new mediums. To do my best to live the life she wants me to have.
āØI will be getting back to what she and I loved and shared in common.
šMy CA Country Home, Lake Tahoe & UK inspired finds, Decor Ideas, Cozy fashion, achievable Healthy Recipes & Juicing, and of course the occasional Travel Adventure - because we all need a little escape sometimes.
āØThank you for your kindness and support; it means the world. Hereās to turning a new page together, with her spirit and strength guiding me.
