Hi, I'm Shelby!

I've always had a natural affinity for the slow life. From a young age, I could always be found out in nature with a book in my hand, dog by my side, and face turned to the sky. Even now, there is something I find so magical about taking my journal out lay on the grass and watch the clouds float by. It feels freeing. But that was not the feeling I have always used to describe my life.

Let me start by saying I love my job as a teacher, but when my Dad died and I moved back home to take care of my mother and a house, I was forced to come up with a better plan than a 9 - 5. I needed and wanted the time freedom to get everything I needed done, but enough income to still do the things I loved. I knew that I needed to rewrite my money beliefs and find ways to passively earn income.

Once you start being intentional with the way you make money, it starts to catch on in all areas of your life. These days, I'm always looking for joy in the simple things in life. This includes picking low-tox and environmentally friendly cleaning and beauty products, and organic foods from farmers markets. I also opt for fashion, furniture and gifts that come from sustainability focused brands and natural materials. My new favourite past time is visiting off-grid adventure spots that connect me back to nature and allow me to experience a simpler way of living. If travel content is your thing, stay tuned as I buy my first 4WD and prepare for the off grid adventures in the coming months!

But on a serious note, having the time to look for options that align with the life I am consciously creating, is a luxury my old life didn't afford me. I hope you find inspiration here to go after what it is you really want out of life and enjoy watching me work it out as I go.
