    One quote I read that has stuck with me is “ this life ask of us so much patience, sometimes it seems too much patience.” As a fifty five year old man who lost my wife eleven years ago to a brain tumor, a daughter who was born with a syndrome which has caused her to attempt suicide I must admit I struggle to make sense of this life. Depression is a horrible sickness, one it seems that lends itself to traveling it alone, I tend to tell everyone things are great even when I crave feeling nothing.

      I’ve worn a mask my whole life. Since the spouse passed, the kids left, the pets went to the pet park in three sky (and lockdown) the mask slips. A lot. Lots of crying in the shower. BUT I’m finally getting it out. Going out on the road had helped tremendously. Still lonely but this Country is beautiful. I’ve cried on mountains, the desert & the ocean! When I’m healthier I will adopt a Senior dog or two. I see the forest through the trees-it’s just a little misty. Depression took my Grandma, my Aunts & my Mother. I don’t want that to be my daughters, granddaughters legacy.

      Lifelong suicide ideation but no attempts. At almost 68 and retired I can reflect on what is most spiritually important and that is FORGIVENESS of others and yourself. I worked away my depression by working hard but now retirement forces you to face your fears. The good news is that WE HAVE the power to banish the demons around us. I call on Jesus and he has lessened my burden, though I am a sinner. Our spiritual journey is eternal in this life and the next. Peace out, Nikki

    She is my inspiration personally with fighting depression myself from similar situations. I am joining her channel in a moment also and with the depression going on I thought a long the same path and purchased my first motorhome to be doing the same except though I am still young myself I do have my own source of income including 1800 watts of solar , regular generator as back up. Stove sleeping area for up to 6 people though I am the only one, shower and bathroom and bedroom. Pretty traditional overall but great way to escape from depression. I will be adding things of course. Prior to this I to had a travel trailer that was unfortunately destroyed by a relative whom never repaired it that I loved so much. Currently with my depression I live as a minimalist also so the new mobile home would actually be an big improvement with space. Which I really do not need except for I feel I at least need a shower to utilize. I thank her for being my inspiration for sure after coming back from dangerous situations overseas.

    Yeah an rv is a pain and a lot to manage as its always something to fix. I found my 19' Escape not very durable on bumpy roads. Now in Nicaragua, on way with dog to Argentina. Began in SF Bay Area. Hang in there re people leaving us. Stay on whats in front and less rear view mirror. Nice looking Jeep. I am Toyota Land Cruiser sort. Enjoy!

    Good message Bob, there is always hope. I wish these people struggling knew there are many people that care about their fellow humans. I pray these people find people that care about their well being and find inspiration to carry on.

    First time meeting (hearing of) Sarah. So nice to see her thriving. If you can pull off living in a Wrangler, there really is nothing better, especially if you pair it with an Ursa Minor pop-up camper.

    I like when I hear others, that are vehicle dwellers, say they are rather ... *HOUSELESS ... 'not' homeless*

    She is such an encouragement to all of us. Thank you for sharing her journey of healing with us. There is an answer for everyone but sometimes it’s difficult to discover it even when it’s right in front of you. Don’t give up looking cause the answer is there. 💕
