I've dreamed of living in a Tiny House since I first stumbled upon Jay's Tumbleweed Tiny House designs back in 2007. I was living alone in my first apartment with only an hour a day of direct sunlight on my balcony, but I was having a renaissance in my life. I was devouring every book, blog, and video about living green, living tiny, and living sustainably. I wanted to grow my own food, preserve it, and cook from scratch; I wanted to make anything & everything so I could be independent of the grocery store. I wanted to have a home that I didn't have to pay utilities or a monthly rent /mortgage on.

To "live for free" without the need for an active income stream, began as a young dream and has continued to be a driving force in my adult life, whether on the front or back burner.

This morning I found this in my inbox and my passion is once again stirred up.
