In the fall of 2011, I was given the chance to write for the local publication The Bizbull.  This has proved to be a tremendous opportunity for me.  Not only has it given me the impetous to practise, and thereby hone my writing skills, it has also given me a soapbox, so to speak, to shout my message from.    An incedental benefit that I didn't anticipate was the overwhelmingly positive feedback I have received from locals since beginning my column.  So many times now I have met someone new and, without introducing myself, they know all about me!  They recognize me from my picture, and they know all about my life from following my articles.  It is amazing to me how many people have expressed support, and some even longing for our lifestyle.  And here I thought shunning social norms would make us unpopular!  Some of our friends who are not in the Bizbull distribution area have expressed interest in reading my articles, so I have elected to post them here.  I hope you enjoy them.
