Hi from Austin

Come on in and say hello.

Hi from Austin

Postby trinaperkins » Fri Sep 13, 2013 10:19 pm

Hello .. my name is Dena. I am an Energy Healing Therapist AND a jazz vocalist.

I'm really excited about finding this forum! I have a 2008 Coachmen Concord .. smallish at 28 ft but perfect my my roadies: Natasha (my 14 yrs old lady dog), Spencer (my 3 yr old Pomeranian) and Penelope (my 1 1/2 Xoloitcuintles X). I had to give up my bumper tow last year. My back exploded last year and had major surgery. Was finally off the walker and onto the cane and thinking that not only had I conquered my cancer BUT the back injury too .. and then .. a woman texting made an illegal uturn in front of me and I t-boned her. Well .. that damaged my shoulder and the other side of my back so away had to go the tow along.

The universe has an interesting way of moving you around and .. now I am the proud owner of the Coachmen. I am hoping that it will allow me back out into the world inspite of my limitations. I've been going insane waiting for the weather to start dropping below 100 so that I can take the new kid out and get to know her (she's quite clear that she's a feminine spirit)!! And to simply get back out into nature where I center and heal and look anxiously for lightnin' bugs in the twilight!

Just as soon as I can find out how to attach a photo to my profile and then photo in my posts .. I'll share my gang with everyone! I'm hoping that the weather will stay under 100 next week .. uh .. really got my fingers crossed for under 90 .. and then I'm going to head over to McKinney Falls for the first official shakedown voyage (and to find out everything I have forgotten to load!) :mrgreen:

Welcome to the forum. Your journey definitely has taken some detours from what I bet your original road map planned for. Keep adjusting where you must and dreaming always.
