Getting to know me, la, la, la

Being from the Twin Cities you sort of assume you are kind of outdoorsy, since most people fear living there due to the temps and snow.  So while I did detour to Colorado for a while, I ended up in Iowa, (don't confuse with the potato state of Idaho), on a farm, with a cowboy, cows and two boys, for the last 21 years.  I did not have a clue what country life was really like.  I have learned a lot!  It has been a bumpy ride, so it is with this thing called life. 

My friends think of me as a sort of city, country, storytelling, stardusty, peace love mama, which I prefer to bat shit crazy ( I am not) but I do know plenty of them.   I do say shit, a great deal, and I write shit a great deal, so if that is a big icky word for you go elsewhere.  Also, I write the way I think, fair warning for you grammar nuts.

 I love MN and the trees and water in my youth.  I love Colorado and knowing which way is west all the time, and the smells in the beautiful mountains, in my wandering years.  I love Iowa for the bonfire burnings and growing up even more, with some wonderful humans in a small town. 

Being on the planet this long and experiencing the life I chose along with the aging process, gives me quite a bit to ponder...and share.  I hope you enjoy my journey's ramblings. 

It is all sparkles and stardust, peace and love to you in every way!  D


PS Thanks maxpixel for the great photo

You’re right, that pic is perfect! I need to think about the dust control too! Sigh. Why do we get 2 companies trying to get our $ every year?! I’m checking into it to see if one product is better than the other. I’ll let ya know!

I love this post and can’t wait to read more. Living in Idaho I get confused with an Iowan all the time. Happy to know this faux pas goes both ways! 😉
