Say Yes to Carolyn’s Gypsy Living
My dear friend Carolyn is a gypsy.
She writes,
“When I first started this blog I had some people raise the question as to whether or not I wanted to identify myself as a gypsy. Apparently there are some negative thoughts wrapped around the word Gypsy. I guess historically there has been some rather ‘sketchy’ activities. Webster defines a gypsy ‘as someone living an unconventional life’. Uh, Yeah, that would be ME. I had some unfortunate financial disasters (due to an accident), and I’ve chosen to embrace this gypsy journey.”
I will admit to having an EXTREMELY romanticized idea of the gypsy culture. A vagabond lifestyle with myth and magic completely intertwined. The character of Willa on FOX-TV’s “The Finder” is doing nothing to create a more realistic picture for me. At the same time I know I could never be a gypsy – I’ve never even been ‘real’ camping 🙂
But Carolyn is the real thing. I’m inspired by her and her journey. Her story is remarkable. You can find her via her blog at Carolyn’s Gypsy Living. I encourage you to read and subscribe.
