Merry Christmas!



Luke 2:11 (NKJV)

For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord

I have so much to be thankful for this year.  I give all of my love and glory to Jesus every day but especially today, on His birthday!  He poured His blessings over me this year, He was true and faithful and never abandoned me.  I was shown first hand that all of God’s promises truly are “Yes” and “Amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20)

At the start of this year I was just finishing up the first 90 days of my holistic healing program.  I was determined to beat the cancer and I had it set in my heart to do it holistically.  With God’s strength and His grace I was motivated and determined to stay on course.  I was thankful to be over that first 90 day hurdle but I was still facing so much uncertainty. I kept myself centered and focused on the goal….I kept my mind on Christ and He showed me the way!  Every decision or change I made was done so with prayer and with confidence.  I surrendered and let Him lead the way, I was simply being obedient and following His way.


He sent my Christmas gift early….May 20th to be exact!  NO! EVIDENCE! OF! DISEASE!  I did it!  I beat cancer!!  Stage 3b cancer didn’t stand a chance against me and the greatest physician of all time, God almighty, ourJehovah Rapha!


My complete healing and our full surrender to God’s will for our lives led Keith and I to our current and newest adventure.  If you’re reading this then you likely know that we bought a new truck, a travel trailer and we sold our house.  We are wrapping up the sale of the business and we officially have a departure date…March 11, 2025.  We’ll be pulling out of Las Vegas and we’re heading off to the CA/AZ border for a 2 week vacation on the Colorado River.  At the end of those two weeks we’ll start making our way to the Jackson Hole WY area where we’ll be parked and workamping for 6 months.  We’ll be documenting our journey and adventures on the “Grateful Nomads” YouTube channel/FB and IG pages (links below if you’d like to join in)


Although cancer has been defeated I still have work to do; mind, body and spirit.  Throughout my journey I’ve learned to honor myself with more “time off” and time for self care, I realize I’m far more effective, present, and powerful when I give myself these simple gifts. This holiday season I hope all of you take time to nourish your soul, rest your body and mind, take time to feel and process emotions, do things that make you smile and bring you joy, decompress, rejuvenate, and enjoy this gift of life….because it truly is a gift!


Life ... the eternal adventure and greatest gift!

In closing, I pray you all have a beautiful holiday season and remember to nurture the light that lives within you. When we shine our light we bring hope and beauty where there’s been difficulty and darkness. Let’s finish this year by shining brightly and spreading love abundantly!

Merry Christmas, as you continue to celebrate with your friends and family please remember the reason for the season 🕊️✝️🙏🏼.


Luke 2:10 (NKJV)

Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.

Until next time….keep joy in your mind and in your heart!

Much love and many blessings,

Ali

Ain’t Life Grand….living life on the right side of cancer 💕

Greetings from beautiful Wyoming! Hidden Falls - Jenny Lake / Grand Teton National Park  A quick update before I get into it - I moved all my blogs to a new platform and it’s so much better now (at least for me).  Please let me know your thoughts, I appreciate your feedback 🩷.  Ok, here we go!!  Some of you may be following along on our journey via facebook but for those of you who aren’t, here’s a quick update.   We kicked off our nomadic journey on March 11, 2025 (after living full-time in the RV since September 2024) and this has quite literally been the best thing we have ever done.    Keith and I keep asking each other why we didn’t do this sooner.    It all comes back to - it just wasn’t our time yet.    But here we are now and we are absolutely living our best life!  Workamping is a real thing - real companies do in fact hire people who live full-time in their RV for seasonal work.    We landed an awesome job ...

One year ago today I started the life saving journey that I never imagined I would be going on.  I made what some might consider crazy radical changes, but I did it because I wanted to live.  Now here we are, one year later, making more radical life changes.  Sometimes life brings in twists and turns that take us in a completely different direction.  It happened to Keith and I last year (with my cancer diagnosis) and it’s happening again with our latest adventures.  If you haven’t heard yet, we sold our house and basically everything in it.  We bought a new truck and a RV and we’re hitting the road, living full time in the RV.  We went from a 1600 sq ft house to a 32 ft travel trailer…talk about radical changes 😳🤣 2024 Grand Design Imagine - Our new home! Here are a few things I’ve learned so far over the past year and especially these past few months.  We don’t always see these twists and turns coming but they always cause us to leave behind on...
