📌 Funny how life circles back when you stop forcing it.
🚛 Sitting in my truck today, studying my EAL curriculum while hauling a group of Amish men to an auction, I had to laugh a little.
When I bought this truck two years ago, it was a leap of faith. I was nervous — but all the signs pointed to saying yes.
It felt like an upgraded version of my original Blueberry — the ’96 Dodge Ram 1500, bench seat, 2-wheel drive, straight-piped high school ride. 😎
And the way this truck came to me?
My good friend Sue told me about it — her brother was selling it right as I was looking for something new. I didn’t want another vehicle loan, but it was too aligned to pass up.✨️
💭I half-joked that I’d haul Amish to justify the purchase — let it pay for itself somehow.
And now two years later, it’s doing just that.
But if I’m honest, the dream underneath that was bigger.
Hauling wasn’t just about supporting the truck.
It was about not working for other people forever.
About schedule freedom for Jamie.
About building a life that could actually flex around the family I have — and the one I’m still building.
About building a career for myself, for and with my horses — even though I never knew it would look like this.🤩
I never pictured myself studying EAL materials in this seat.
I just knew I wanted a way out — and a way forward.⏭️
It’s not glamorous on a -18° Saturday, but I’m warm in my truck, heated seats on, watching and talking horses, learning, and moving closer to work that actually fits my life.
✨️What a win for a side gig.😍
This is what alignment looks like for me.
Not loud. Not rushed.
Just steady choices stacking up into freedom.🙌
If you’re building something that doesn’t look impressive yet — keep going.
Sometimes it’s working long before it looks like it is. 🤎🐴
