Yesterday I posted some big news happening on my end. I shared the ‘trailer’ link in my last post to a documentary that I participated in for 2+ years in 2019 is debuting tomorrow night.. Friday Dec 5. 7pm.
Here is the link now to the live viewing where you can click the bell for notification- Nomad Solitude- https://youtu.be/fCxchXrqXzs
I would love for you to share with all your friends.. nomad or not. Who knows they just may be inspired- encouraged and empowered by this documentary. It will be YOU making a difference by sharing what someone else may need to see or hear. I will do a follow up video once I watch it (again) and will also share the link in the description of the video after the live is over tomorrow night.
Would love to hear if you watched and what your take away was! ❤️🙏🎄🤗

BIG News!
I just received confirmation that the documentary NOMAD SOLITUDE that I participated in (along with 2 other full time nomads) real time over the course of 2-3 years will be released this Friday Dec. 5 on You Tube!
The email from the producer:
Hello Linda,
I hope you’re doing well.
Just a quick message to let you know that our film will finally be available on Youtube starting Friday the 5th of December.
It will be available for free on DocRoom Youtube channel.
On that channel, a live premiere is being planned at 6PM (Arizona time) on Friday. The person responsible of the YouTube channel will send me the link tomorrow.
In between, you can already find the trailer available here. Don’t hesitate to share it around in your network.

Anyone here from Quartzsite to share the link with would be greatly appreciated.. where my peeps are! May this documentary be used all for God’s glory❤️🙏🎄👏🏻☀️🌵

Here’s the real deal! Simple, uncomplicated turkey dinner. Figured I’d take a photo cause “seeing is believing” LOL.. nothing ai e or fake going on here.. hours later.. dessert for dinner.. pumpkin, raisins and walnuts with chamomile tea. It’s been a serene day.😀
I posted a video in real time.. Thanksgiving eve and today. Holiday alone? Don’t fit in? Gratitude & wisdom. Estrangement. Emotions. Triggers. Holiday memories

I just received a couple comments on my channel “assuming” it was me slinging mud at a fellow You Tuber. Disappointed that they assumed it was me but at the same time made me look into what they were talking about. Looks like my channel has been hacked with my name and four numbers proceeding my name. I will not succumb to other peoples hate and trying to wreak havoc with my channel. I will not give it any mind. The devil wants to bring me down. Hurt people hurt people. Period.
Hopefully my fellow You Tuber will speak the truth and clear the air on her channel.
Thank you all who knew from the onset that it was not me. Thank you to those of you who posted the truth on the other YT channel. I appreciate your care and support.

Thank you everyone who has weighed in with your personal skin challenges, the suggestions but most of all your support, love and prayers. I have read every single comment and even did screen shots of some to make some notes.
I am not out of the woods per se though I am much better than what I expressed and showed you in this video. Health struggle. Self diagnosis. Stress related? Over the counter and natural remedies. Feeling 🤪
https://youtu.be/hAiqe2KX-Io
I’m feeling a difference now that the high temperatures have subsided. My stress barometer has dropped as well!
I am grateful for all your prayers as for me that is the most powerful medicine there is. Jesus is our ultimate healer- here or when He takes us home. I am not responding to the comments as I’m working a lot and it also can be very stressful to read some of them. I will update you on my healing journey in a future video. God bless all of you in your journey and healing. XOXO

I hope you are having blessed moments and a day full of joy in your heart. I swept my floors, mopped and dusted for my company today- Jesus! We spent time together in church and throughout the day as I “coped” in a healthy manner of these special holidays that we as Christians observe. It’s quiet. I do not focus on what I don’t have but what we all have been given- salvation and eternity in Heaven. It’s a gift freely given but you don’t have to accept it if you don’t want to. For me, I have no better way of coping than to be with Jesus. As the pastor said at the beginning of his sermon- It’s resurrection day every day.
I hope you will be blessed as I share with you in my upcoming Sit and Share Sunday (5pm EST) other ways I cope day by day in the world of low to no contact.. aka estrangement.
Thank you all for your love, support, sharing and caring. XOXO

Hey friends! Beautiful day in the neighborhood here. Hope you are experiencing the same. I have a new ‘Show and Tell’ coming out tomorrow at 5pm EST. This one is big! I can hardly believe I was given the opportunity to review this item. It’s something I never thought I’d own.
**UPDATE** I’ve decided that I am going to go back to publishing the ‘Sit and Share’ on Sundays. I have more very personal topics coming up over the next couple months.. maybe longer😊 My testimony from 2009 was just the beginning. I would really appreciate it if you would consider subscribing to my channel (if you aren’t already) so that together we can make a difference. In addition your comments and 👍🏻 really speak to the algorithm as an interesting topic to put in other’s feed.
I’m also going to move the ‘Show and Tell’ to Wednesday. I often add a bonus- ‘Wednesday Wisdom’ with each review. That way I’m reaching mid week viewers and then Sunday will be a great way to hopefully encourage you for the week ahead🤗🙏❤️

I am feeling so very grateful and a bit emotional today. Yesterday (Saturday) many of you know I published my testimony from 2009. It was a hard decision to share it with the world per se. Thank you all who have taken the time to not only listen to a 36 minute video but to take the time to comment as well. I am forever grateful to all of you who expressed your love, encouragement and kindness in sharing my testimony.
There has been only 2 comments out of 100’s that expressed judgement towards me. I recognize that the devil is always prowling around using people as his minions to bring us to a place of guilt and shame. I pray for these individuals.
At times it’s amazing to me that people do not realize when they are criticizing others that it truly a reflection of themselves. Of course I was in that place at one time till God woke me up and I looked at myself in the mirror.
I am still a work in progress till the day Jesus calls me home. Praising God for His unwavering love for us and that He will never waste a hurt if we let Him in.
Thank you all for being here. I appreciate you more than you will ever know🙏🤗❤️
Incase you missed it: My testimony. A dark past. Ugly truths. Addiction/Anger/Depression. Long road. Jesus saved my life.

I decided to not wait till Sunday to put out my next video. Until I get back to Cozy Nest Cottage I most likely will do 2 videos a week along with a couple “shorts” interspersed.
In the last couple days I’ve attended open houses of cars-SUVs and Minivans . Keeping it within RTR time frame, the first one has just posted. It’s been a busy time here—fun and productive. I’ve enjoyed the many people who have come up to me to introduce or in many cases- re-introduce themselves from years past. Thank you for taking the time! I greatly appreciate your love and care!
The Sell-a-Rama starts on the 17th and goes through the 26th. I am in Row X. My booth # is 19. I’m situated on a corner which is always awesome to have. Please come by and say hi if you are still around! I will do a video (or two) of the event -my booth and an overview of the show. I will also do a rap up to let you know how it goes. Be on the look out for the Open House of minivans also coming soon.
Hopefully these 2 photos of guys I met at the RTR will provide you a smile! They did me❤️🤗🙏
