“I would always rather be happy than dignified” – Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte

Why am I here?

• I've journaled in some fashion since I was 8. I thought it was time for a new format. Which brings us this blog. 
• My husband and I love being outdoors and finding new adventures and places to explore. I want somewhere to write and share these experiences. 
• My goal is to journey more and more into a self sustaining, natural healthy lifestyle. I see this blog as a way to document my progress into that and hopefully connect with others on the same journey. 
• I'm a very very amateur photographer and I want to have somewhere to share my photos, growth in my hobby and again, connect with others in the photography world. 
• I love all things creative. I love blank pages, canvases, empty film cartridges (or memory cards since we are in the 21st century). I love to collect these things and share these things. 

What's "need to know" about me?

• Social worker by trade but I fantasize about being a veterinarian. Or novel writer. Or horse trainer..
• I'm not entirely satisfied with my lifestyle and see potential for so much more. I want to build on my goals for health, happiness, sustainability, etc
• I love being outside and finding new experiences outdoors for all seasons be it canoeing, kayaking, cross country skiing, etc. 
• Recently married. We'll call him Bearded Man. I'm Resa by the way. 

What's "not need to know" about me?

• I love to read. Favorites include Wheel of Time, Harry Potter, Mistborn series (or really anything by Brandon Sanderson), anything by Margaret Atwood, and of course the classics..Wuthering Heights, Pride & Prejudice...  Ah, I could just go on and on
• I'm a lover of BBC Sherlock and Dr Who. Might sneak a few posts in here about those. Maybe. 
• Born in the 80's. Hell yes. 
• I collect quotes, phrases, lyrics, anything from songs, movies, books that strike me. 
• Some of my favorite things to do include horse back riding and photography
