Carrie Reimer

I think everyone at one time or another thinks, "If I only knew then what I know now." I share my life experiences in hopes a few less people have to look back and want a "do over". Through my Lady Witha Truck blog I have spent over 10 years sharing my experiences while being in an abusive relationship with a man I consider to be a narcissist/psychopath and through my other blog, Reimer Reason I share lessons learned throughout the 60+ years of my life. No experience is a waste as long as you learn from it. If I can save someone else from making the same mistakes I made, then it makes it all worth while. I am an expert on my life, not yours, my opinions are my own, not yours, and I enjoy open respectful communication on most topics. If I don't have an answer I will research it until I do. I rescued a brindle beauty, I named Shai. She is the most fearful dog I have ever met. I was told she was a lost cause and I was crazy. My last dog, Stella, helped me find my brave. Now, I am helping Shai find her brave. I am artistic, enjoy bringing new life to antiques, gardening, refurbishing and repurposing other people's "garbage", reading, writing and being outside in nature. I have a 40 year old son who I am extremely proud of and a 14 yr old granddaughter I don't see near enough. I have worked in banking, office management, hauled scrap steel, been on welfare and now am head gardener for a golf course. 6 years ago I was given 6 months to live without a heart transplant. I still have my heart, and I'm still alive. I have gone from being a homeowner and landlord to being homeless and living in my car and now live in a 34' 5th wheel RV trailer that I am fixing up. I live my life, doing the "right" thing, regardless of what other people think. I believe life would be far less stressful, and drama filled if we all just lived honest to our core self and listened to our gut. I have found inner peace, something I didn't think truly existed. It isn't what most people think it is.
