54 yo Wonder Woman looking for like-minded weirdo

I am a woman who wonders at all the wonders. I strive to have childlike wonder in every moment.

I live on 10 acres in the woods in Oregon off grid in a hobbit-like house that I built. I share custody of my 23-year-old son who is severely disabled, but happy all the time in a constant state of childlike wonder. He brings joy to all he meets. I bike as much as I can and only drive my truck when I need to.

I am a Jill of all trades, and I have been a farrier, archaeologist, occupational therapist, rustic furniture, builder, and now a homesteader. I love life with the ups AND downs. I live simply with some dogs, cats, chickens.

Here is what I value:

DAILY WORK, PLAY, AND REST: I schedule hammock time into each day but I love hard work too.

SIMPLE LIVING: I can live on less than $500 per month.

LIVING IN THE CYCLE OF NATURE: I live without electricity (minimal solar for charging phone) and I eat, sleep and exercise with the seasons. I compost toilet and collect rainwater.

SPIRITUALITY AND GROWING: I love earth school and learning to let go of my ego. I like to go deep.  

HEALTH OF MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT: I eat whole food and plant-based and I cook the rainbow. I believe in the body’s ability to heal and natural remedies. I like to be fit but I don’t worry about it; it happens from the way I live life as a natural human.

SOBRIETY: I have done enough drugs and alcohol and been with enough alcoholics to know that I like myself and those around me better sober. I’ve never been accused of having inhibitions anyway.

UNITY NOT SEPARATION: my religion and politics can be summed up in two words: understanding and compassion. I believe in changing myself, not trying to change others.

FREEDOM: to make our own paths. I see through the bullshit of media, politics, Western medicine, and education. I let others find their own path too.

OLD CULTURE WAYS: sustainable ways with low tec but with some modern discoveries. I’m not a fan of AI.

ENJOYING LIFE: not taking anything too seriously.

Some of my favorite words:  simple, play, books, respect, honesty, silence, intimacy, passion, kindness, inconvenience

If you made it this far and share my values, let’s talk!

wish you was closer by.

Hello Liz, I'm on the wrong side of the continent to become acquainted with you, and if I'm honest I would not be prepared for your level of off-grid living, though I admire it.  Just wanted to let you know that here's one man duly impressed by your post.  Best of luck in life and love!

This is a fun post to read and contemplate, filled with positive energy. Alas, like the gents above, I'm across the continent rooted in western North Carolina. Bravo and best of luck!
