It’s not your work to make anything happen. It’s your work to dream it and let it happen. Law of Attraction will make it happen. In your joy, you create something, and then you maintain your vibrational harmony with it, and the Universe must find a way to bring it about. That’s the promise of Law of Attraction.

Beautiful Sunset of Sayulita, Mexico

I’m so glad this fluffy baby is right here with us. 💛🐾

My cute Canadian free-Vicious in Mexico. 🐾 we couldn’t hold her in. She figured it all out.

Kitties are doing well in Mexico. 😅

Beautiful San Miguel, Mexico

Sunshine feels nice in February. Sending everybody back home much love and warmth from here.

We finally arrived to warmth today.

Traveling as a vegan in Mexico is not a sacrifice nor difficult. Mexican Vegan food has been very satisfying, affordable and extremely delicious. Wherever we go, we Google vegan restaurants in the area and find at least few options to choose from. They’re also generally located in nicer and more alternative neighbourhoods. 😉 so it makes our traveling a bit more interesting.

Going vegan has never been easier!!! It’s better for you, better for the planet and better for animals.

A day in Monterrey, Mexico. We hiked up to an amazing cave with my Mexican family. ☺️

Quick trip around Austin and San Antonio, Texas

Road trip across the USA is going well. The weather is getting warmer and the cats have been adjusting well.

We’re going on a road trip across US to Mexico with our two cats. 🐾 with all the limitations life presented to us, this was the funnest idea we came up with. And finally we’re on our way. 💃🏻

Thank you for welcoming us at your home. ✌🏻

Carpe-ntry-diem Spring of 2021 — Selfbuild & Sustainable On April 15, 2021, after 3 months of quarantine lifestyle in Ottawa, we returned back to our land in Bancroft, just in-time for the celebration of my birthday with a litter of kittens and a new 2010 Tacoma 4x4 truck. I still remember my wishes on that birthday very clearly: to find good homes for th

Merry Christmas from our trailer home and fur-babies to yours. ♥️ may the love be with you! 🎄⛄️♾💕

Snowy snowy winter ⛄️

This is where we stop for the season. We finished the insulation of the roof and the windows. We’re hoping that the tarps will prevent the water damage over the winter. We will pick it up from here next spring.

We will be still be here for the next two months and do some more work around the property. Then we’ll be off for a little vacation 😎

Blog posts are coming soon.

I guess I’m not working on my laptop today 😂 Happy Saturday

Today I’d like to celebrate my trailer life here in Bancroft while we’re in process of building our home.

I feel it is as important to love the bad and the ugly as much as the good and the beautiful. Our life is certainly very simple and difficult, yet abundant and joyful here.

Here are some of the things we deal with on daily bases:

- We need to bring the water to the trailer every few days from the well with a big barrel on he backhoe that hates to work on cold weather.

- We have issues with hot water so we can only shower once a week if we’re lucky.

- We use an outhouse. 🤭

- We have a broken window and a tarp on the roof to prevent leaks. 😅

- We often use the oven to stay warm.

- We get visits from mice regularly 😝

- We don’t know where the money is coming from for the solar panels, batteries and other expenses.

You may think Woww. These things suck!!! But don’t be so quick to judge 😉🙌🏻⭐️🍾

Here are all the things we HAVE:

1. 💕each other: We’re sharing this beautiful experience together and having fun designing our life. Not following any trends nor fulfilling any cultural expectations.

2. Our health: we eat naturally and so healthy. We love our plant based lifestyle. We bake our own bread, make our own cheese and eat well.

3. Love and support of friends and family. No one seem to be bothered by what we cannot offer, but love what we get to share with them.

4. We have the sweetest cats. They keep the mice in control and filling our hearts with love.

4. We live in a real forest with real wildlife.

5. We have no depths. And have very little expenses other than the building materials.

6. We work less but money is still flowing for all our needs.

7. We have great neighbours.

8. Pandemic or political unrest doesn’t influence us.

I share this because people often FEAR DISCOMFORT and as a result stay in toxic relationships, work that they hate , lifestyle they cannot afford nor bring them joy.

Living in alignment is so much better than living in comfort.

You have no idea what life will bring if you take a leap of faith.

Omg it is so wonderful to get a visit from my girlfriends today. .fit is such a powerhouse. I loved every moment I spent with her and her beautiful daughter. Her strength and attitude was so refreshing and helpful. I am super grateful to her. ♥️ And she even convinced to come for a visit with .channel and another friend. I feel so blessed. 😃😃😃 thank you guys for visiting 🙏🏼♥️🍃 love you so much!!! xoxo

We feel so intimately connected to this house at this point. It has become a big part of our lives for the last 3 years. I’ve never felt this way towards a built space before.

Part of the magic is the delayed gratification we’re experiencing and the physical / creative energy we pour into it.

Ivan is so in the flow with this process that it’s adorable to witness. I, on the other hand, looking forward to the finishing touches and creating the most wonderful experiences for our visitors.

I have a bag of 12” screws and I’m ready to go up on the roof. It’s just so nice to be up there on such a nice day. ☺️
