The countdown is on to the big five-oh. So naturally, I’m spending most of my time reflecting on the decade past and envisioning the life I want to have in the decade(s) to come. In many ways, my 40’s were awesome. But in so many other ways, they were absolutely hellacious— and in all honesty, the most difficult time in my life— especially this past year.

All in all, things are going really well. I am enjoying building out my bus and making it my home. My injuries are slowly healing and my mental and physical stamina are improving, though I can only work a few hours at a time and my disability was denied. My chiropractic practice is slowly recovering from the pandemic quarantine time and my subsequent medical leave— though it’s still awfully slow, and my ability to treat patients is limited. I’ve picked up a lot of side hustles: art, jewelry, photography, coaching, and general household help for friends. My expenses are a lot lower since giving up my apartment, but I’m still barely able to make ends meet.

In order to build the life I want to have, I need quite a few things: some new chiro equipment for my office, more art and jewelry supplies, updates for my websites, and all the things to make the bus functional: solar panels, electrical wiring, plumbing, water pump, water heater, new batteries, etc. I’ve been building it on a shoe string budget, and almost everything was free or cheap from the salvage stores— but the above things need to be quality, and aren’t cheap. I also have debts to pay to the people that helped me survive this past year, along with some medical bills, and would love the funds to get more holistic treatments not covered by insurance.

Sooooo… I want need to manifest $50K in the next… well… as quickly as possible. And I don’t want to ask for any more loans, donations, or gifts. I want to earn every penny, and know that I can. It’s a lot of $$ by some standards, but not to live on in Portland for a year, especially when you are a partially disabled, self-employed, single parent with two kids in college, one in high school, and no partner or parents to lean on. But it’s more than I’ve made in the last three years combined (yes, you read that right). And, I have a plan.

I have a multitude of skills, and offerings. Worth $50 or more a piece. All I need is 1,000 people to spend that much (or 50 people to spend $1000 😉 Between all my FB friends and family, and if each of them shares my post with just five friends, I know I can make it happen. So here’s what I have to offer. These prices are only good for the *first fifty* people to sign up.

Please take a look at what I have to offer and share with your friends. Here’s to abundance and prosperity for all!

Here’s a link to a bulleted list, and it is broken down with examples in the photos below:
