Remember This...

Everything can change by the end of the day

Like I said...


Hi everyone ~

Like I said... you never know what will happen and where life will take you.  We left Taos.  We are drawn to Oregon.  I have been drawn there since I was young and always thought I would end up living there someday.  It might seem sudden to you since the last post said we loved Taos and we were planning on buying land to build an earthship of our own.  Well, like I said....

We woke up one day and listened to our intuition.  It's so difficult to listen to intuition, isn't it.  Most people completely disregard their own guidance.  Well, intuition to me is like talking to God.  It's our connection to the source and I've learned the hard way what can happen if you get messages loud and clear then ignore them or argue with them.  I won't be doing that again.  I will listen even if it doesn't make sense in the now because it will eventually.  We have to let go of our need for control and live life.  This way of living will receive criticism and judgement from your family and friends, which saddens me but I forgive them their ignorance and close-mindedness.  We live our lives the way we are guided to and I'm sorry if that offends anyone but I'm not sorry for being who we are.

I don't know why we are supposed to be in Oregon other than it's beautiful.  People resonate with their purpose even if they don't know what their purpose is here on Earth.  We will find out eventually though and whatever it is we can accomplish it just because that's what we're here to do.  I have faith in the universe and the source.  I have faith that everything is as it should be and all will be well.  We make our own destiny and we live the way we want to live, even if you tell yourself how much you hate it or love it.  We have the choices and we make the decisions (not always consciously)  "We are the music makers and we are the dreamer of dreams"  Your thoughts are very important in how you experience this world. I want my thoughts to be of love, peace, abundance and forgiveness.  Please let yours be the same for the sake of our world.


Love and Light,
Tiff and Family

Finally in Taos!

Hi everyone ~

Well we made it. It seems like it's been forever since my last post.  So here's what we've been doing....


These pics are stops along the way to Green River.  We stayed in a canyon just outside of the town for a week.  It sure was pretty.

























We went to Grand Junction, CO after that to visit one of Lakyns friends.  Then we headed to Moab.  We thought we would stay there for a while but we left that night.  Way too touristy for us.  We went back into Colorado and stopped at the Mesa Verde Ruins.  Verrrrrry Cool.  I had been reading some books, The First American Series, People of the Silence and People of the Moon which were based on archeological finds in these areas so it was interesting.
Of course I forgot to load the pics onto this computer.......  I will post them later.  I really want to get this out, it's been so long and we don't have internet where we are staying in the Greater World Community.

We stayed at an RV park after the ruins and ended up working there for a week.  It was very cool.  They had cabins and horses for trail rides and Lakyn got to go on one to help out Sara, the horse whisperer.  She was very cool.



These are the cabins Lakyn and I cleaned for there Memorial Day opening.



From there we headed to Taos and the Earthship internship.






The kids and Scott jumped off this bridge into the Rio Grande!


This is Scott


There's Lakyn

We missed Aaron, the battery died.

The skies are so pretty here!!!







We love it in Taos.  The people are very cool.  Alot of old hippies so we fit right in.  We are in the process of looking for land here to build an Earthship on.  Scott is extending his stay as an intern and hopefully will be hired on soon.  This where we are supposed to be for the moment.  Who knows what will happen and it is very exciting living life without expectations and assumptions.  Life is such an adventure and I wouldn't want mine any other way.



Love and Light, Tiff and Family

Beach to Snow to Desert!! Again!


Hi Everyone ~ 

We've seen a lot of different landscape during the last few weeks and all of it is picture perfect.  The picture above is us leaving California.  We took the road that took through Lake Tahoe and across Nevada, which is actually called the Loneliest Road in America.   Here's some pics from that stretch...


I got to see my waterfall after all...


and it sure was pretty!!




Scott loved this river!






Here we moved into snow




Made it to Lake Tahoe...





We didn't really get to enjoy the lake, I felt almost barred from it.  It's definitely not easily accessible.  We couldn't even get a picture of it.  Weird!!  From there we made it to Fallon.  We liked this little town.  Aaron loved the skatepark mainly because the kids were really nice.  We checked out the thrift stores where the ladies insisted on giving Lakyn a prom dress, and I mean insisted, even though we told them the kids were homeschooled and we were traveling.  So Lakyn tried them all on and picked a really pretty pale blue one.  Then they made her take shoes and accessories!!  Here's a pic...


Everything happens for a reason, maybe she'll need it on our way..  who knows?


This was an archaeology area with petroglyphs and caves and the lichen was so pretty!




This tree was out in the middle of nowhere with shoes hanging all over it!  Of course Aaron made a bee line for it with some old shoes of his!


We also found a hot spring in the middle of nowhere!  The main spring was 165 degrees!! 
But we weren't the only ones there... some naked people showed up!


This is another petroglyph area, Hickison campgrounds (which were free btw)  Really pretty!


If you look closely, you might be able to see Aaron..


We took the tour through Lehman Caves which was awesome.  The first two rooms we could feel a powerful energy!!  It wasn't until after the tour that we found out that there were a couple indians buried there.  I'm sure they must have been people who danced with power.  I made sure to ask for pardon due to ignorance and cleared our energies after the tour.  






Aaron acted as Ranger at this point



There was a cool shield formation at the end of the tour that looked like an angel wing but our batteries died in our camera, look for it if you go there!

We are now in Koosharem, Utah, about 30 minutes south of Richfield, visiting Scott's mom's cousins.  I will write about it in the next post.. they are very very nice!!!!  It's mother's day and I'm just relaxing.  

I set up an Amazon Store, which you can find the link or in the right column under my etsy store link.  I am posting recommendations in there, and if you end up buying it from my store, we get a percentage.  Anything helps on our journey.  I will be posting more things in there as I am able to. 

I've sold a couple more necklaces, which is cool!  I love it when someone actually pays for something I made!  It's definitely a confidence booster.  Keep checking out the etsy store as I try to display something new every so often.

Scott is excited about working on the Earthships.  We should be there soon.  I posted a banner link in the right column for you to check them out at their website in case you're interested to know what the heck I've been talking about.

Things are great with us.  Lakyn's turning into a reader and she is finding out who she really is, not being defined by her friends.  Aaron is turning into an artist, his work is really good.  I'll post some of it sometime in the future.  He also is beginning to write stories.  We are learning to trust our intuition and follow our hearts even when can't see around the corner.  Living authentically feels good and is food for the soul.  It allows inspiration to pour into you and all you have to do is follow your heart.



Love and Light,
Tiff and Family

The Kids

Hi everyone ~

We are just travelin' along, eager to experience the unknown and what the universe has in store for us.  The kids have been doing well.  They are finding interests they didn't know about before and they are finding talents they didn't know they had an one of them is photography.  Lakyn has found an interest in reading, which is interesting because she hated books when she was in school.  I guess we come to like things when we're not forced to do them.

Here's some photography the kids have done so far....



































Here's some pics of them....


This is the famous donkey that bit Lakyn...

















It's amazing how close we're becoming.  We are understanding each other and learning about each other.      I think it's the greatest gift, this opportunity has been a blessing in disguise.

Love and Light, Tiff and family
