Just found the site and love it..it's a real breath of fresh air. There are alot of ultra conservatives in Az so I feel kind of stifled sometimes. But you have to go where the love is and my love is here..He is a redneck ex-biker turned white collar dude but the love is real and it is good. Have always called myself a hippie..I truely believe in the concept that love conquers all wether it is inside or out. That we are the makers of our destiny and good begats good. It's not your job to change folks..but folks can change the world. I wish I had spent time in a commune and worked more on my music with like minded folks. On the other hand I could never go vegan or quit smoking but I do recycle. I have raised my children to have compassion and to believe in self. I fondly remember the $10 dollar lid and took many journeys to the inside on window pane and purple haze, I enjoyed every trip! As a parent tho I discourage drug use because the times are different..the people are different..that makes me sad sometimes. But my kids are encouraged and hopeful so I am too..and I listen to their music and it's not all bad..lol. All in all I am really blessed. I look forward to my time here. Anyone else in Arizona?
Awe, I am so glad you're enjoying this site, as well as i am. I actually take a few trips to Arizona a few times a year, because my bestfriend had moved there about 5 years ago. In the Phoenix area.
Tonopah is about 50 miles west of Phoenix proper..so the commute to work and school is long but I don't mind the drive..I have NPR and books on tape. What I really do mind is that I have to travel so far for the fun stuff..But I have my animals and the land so it keeps me pretty busy..I would really like to try living off the grid and totally getting into nature. I know it is no walk in the park..but I could do it with someone with the right attitude.
I am already having a blast doin all this posting and stuff..I never could get intersted in forums enough to even read them..but this place is so full of like minded folks I just can't help but talk!!!! I am something of a radical here what with all this universal love and being a free spirit...letting go of your hurts and loving your enemy. "sigh" Don't get me wrong...I am happy where I am in my life..I know who the "enlightened "one in the family is..and I just keep plugging away at that hard exterior..I finally got him to kiss me in public!!! He thinks I am cute and that I look thru rose colored glasses...no I just try to always see the good..Mother Teresa said something like.."If you are so busy judging people when do you have time to love them"
