Things we tried, noticed, learned, and decided to say out loud.
That time I brought my children to a horse barn and we did not get murdered.
Find out if we made it (we did) →Apparently I can camp with my kids alone. The first time I took my kids camping instead of believing the stories that I couldn't set up a tent or turn on the stove.
If you have ever doubted you can do things without your husband, read this →The time I traveled to Colorado and was blown away by how uncomfortable I was.
Read about how adaptation is not instantaneous →That time I chose to surf by myself in a place I had not surfed before, relying only on my bravery. Yes, I got injured. Yes, I went back to the same spot and surfed the next day.
Read about me trying something new and scary—I did it, and you can too →Stories, questions, things we’re practicing, places to wander, and a few things to take with you.
We're two women with ADHD who have spent a lot of time feeling a little lost.
Not lost in the sense that we have no idea who we are or where we're going. More like we've spent years trying to figure out how to live in a way that actually feels like ours.
We're still figuring it out.
Basecamp grew out of that.
It's a place for the things we're learning, noticing, questioning, trying, forgetting, and practicing again.
We're practicing paying attention.
We're practicing choosing what feels aligned instead of what we're supposed to want.
We're practicing making room for curiosity, rest, change, wonder, and the things that make us feel more alive.
And maybe most of all, we're practicing being here for our own lives while they're actually happening.
We didn't build Basecamp because we've figured out the way.
We built it because we're looking for one too.
And we thought it might be nice to have a place to gather along the way.

A little about who you are, what you're curious about, what brought you here, and what you're practicing in your own life.

Basecamp is what happened when our questions started becoming a place.
Notes to ourselves, mostly.
