twenty-fourteen





Every year - we say it.... THIS YEAR WILL BE THE YEAR. This will be the year I get on that bike, the year I lose that weight, the year I find that gal/fella, the year I start LIVING. And every year, for most, we don't do anything. I mean, don't get me wrong. I am right there too. The first week (or two) are the determined, motivated and STRONG weeks. WE CAN DO THIS. And then the daily grind, the demands and the cold (especially) - takes hold and we go back. And by September, we say " Next year... next year I will live..."

THIS IS MY CHALLENGE. Make it. Make it more than those 2 weeks. Make it more - Make this a change for the better. For your LIFE. For the past couple of weeks, I have been seeing signs in my life that I need to make a change. I have lost the adventure - the chase of this life. I am living, but not as much as I can be. We got one life, and I don't want to look back and say... I saw a lot of great movies on Netflix, I had a really clean house, I learned to make soup?

COME ON. So my challenge for myself, and Join if you like, is to just LIVE BIGGER. As big as I can with the little money I have. Say YES and do things. 

So here I go. Day one. Let's see the life I can live.

things

"Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things."  - Elise Boulding

born to explore!

    I have always craved adventure. And I always was striving for the next one. When you begin to work every day, all day and only have a couple days off a week, you begin to need adventure. I NEED AN ADVENTRUE. I need to feel the trees, blowing in the wind, their sweet sweet smell of pine and maple. I need to feel uneven ground, get a little dirty, and feel the demand of my body to move forward. I need to feel the air outside… oh what a concept. Outside. I sit in a cubicle, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am blessed, like I say all the time... I have a big window. I’m blessed again, but I want more than to look outside while breathing inside air. I long to be out, in the warm, cold air. I guess when you are locked up for so long your body starts craving the outside.   So I decided to adventure, this Spring, Summer and Fall. I have a couple friends and my boyfriend who are in for the challenge. I’m going to push myself to backpack, hike, swim, climb, ca...

megan, hi thats me. the wanderer

  Hi. I am Megan. Photographer. Music junkie. Looking for the next adventure. Hiker. Animal lover. Hey! Just a little about me. Started a blog. YEAH. Like everyone else... NO. But hey!   One of my good friends told me blogging is very therapeutic, a hobby, something you can do to get it all out... reminds me of my childhood! When I was young, getting everything out was my motto. Nothing was secret, nothing wasn’t said. I said it ALL! I could remember filling journal after journal of notes, letters, poems, rants and so much LOVE. I would write and write, about crushes, getting out of town, breaking up, growing up, finding love (again and again… but never knowing the feeling), and looking for that true happiness. Man, if I could look back and read it all, I would laugh out loud and maybe cry at some parts. Man I was so young and NAIEVE! Have I grown so since those days. But looking back always is good- seeing the innocence in the days, nothing to do except ...
