•Meet me in the mountains•
I can honestly say I never thought I would live this life. Ask me two years ago and I probably would’ve laughed at you. Sure, I have always been a country girl. I loved spending my time outside, sitting by a bonfire or just paddiling my way around a lake. To live near and explore the mountains almost daily though? Never. Going through all my life experiences when I was younger taught me a lot. The power of no. Saying no only ever limited me to things I was too scared to do. You can’t fear something you don’t know. When I finally decided to take the leap and do things on my own that’s when I saw things change. I get it, I’m a single female taking on the mountains in my small little car with my two dogs. There is risks. I do my best to play it smart at all times. Thankfully I’m naturally born “street smart” and know a thing or two about the outdoors. That is where Project Wild comes in. I want to show you, anyone who is reading this; that you’re only limited to things you say no to. There’s nothing you can’t do if you ask the right questions and do your homework. With a little bit of dedication you can stop dreaming and start doing things you didn’t know were possible. Look at me: I was a married housewife with a crazy career in the car industry and a life most people dreamnt of and I still wasn’t happy. I needed more. I needed to stop dreaming and start doing. To anyone who feels limited, who feels like they can’t just go outside and enjoy the outdoors: this ones for you. I promise you it’s probably not going to be easy, but it’s going to be worth it. Take it from someone who felt trapped in a traditional life style and simply wanted more. I wanted to be Wild.
