Mystikal Musings

Reflections as I travel in my journey in life. In 49 yrs I have lived a lot, yet not lived at all. I feel my life began at 40 then after my 44th Birthday I had an awakening that continued into 2020, the Year of the Pause. Things have become clear to me in this shift that I feel the need to share to help others. My blog is for these musings so my IG & FB can be used to help others with my services & not posts with words that may not resonate with others.

    RV Life…Are you homeless?

    “Why are you purposely making yourself homeless?” is a question MANY are having to deal with when choosing this lifestyle. As one who definitely DOES NOT consider herself “homeless” I decided it was time to offer some advice in my own special way on this topic! Enjoy!
