Come Join Me!


Welcome to my second blog!!  I’ve been blessed to both give and receive inspiration in my daily life and in my online social networking and felt called to start The Bottomless Heart as a way of sharing with you.

I am always looking for ways to enrich my life and my days and this blog is my invitation to you journey with me as I learn how to live a better, more abundant life in a world that is constantly challenging and changing me!

This is a blog encouraging quality of life, no matter the circumstances you find yourself in.  From the practical to the more ephemeral, you’ll be able to find ideas for stretching your dollars, feeding body and soul, nurturing yourself, finding strength and resources to move ahead and encourage creativity of ALL kinds.


It is also a blog about living with crises – from financial hardship, to emotional challenges, to chronic illness and disabilities.  It is about thinking ‘outside the box”; finding ways to transform and heal our life experiences in ways that can reconnect us with our bottomless hearts.


The things I hope to write about will include
Saving $
Food & nutrition
Feeding your soul and finding inspiration
Creativity for both yourself and your family/children
Finding resources in your community
Navigating the systems that can help – or hinder - you
Alternate incomes
Recycling/Repurposing
Advocacy and volunteering
Support networks
Roadmaps & Inspiration boards
Reading/books

Eventually, I hope to bring you guest posts from people who will add even more inspiration to our lives and I'll occasionally offer free printables on various topics.  If you have something that you'd like to see covered here, let me know and I'll see what I can do.  I will always be open to your input and ideas!

It’s going to be a wonderful journey!  I hope that you’ll share it with me.

    1. Hello Andrea! I love these long distance hellos, lol. Just did a card exchange with a friend in Australia...
      In the US, 99'er is a term used for people who are long-term unemployed and whose unemployment benefits and extensions have ended completely after 99 weeks. A person who doesn't have dependents under the age of 18 doesn't qualify for cash assistance from the government. In effect, a 99'er is also someone who has little to no income.

  11. Hi looks like you had the same idea as me. I live a pretty good life with fms over at least 10 years. I've had fulltime work with part time uni up until recently and have a good handle on my symptoms and want to share my coping mechanisms and things i've learnt over the years aswell. All the best much love.
