About Me
10 Aug 2010I’m Shanti, a Leo in born 1985 and raised in Seattle wearing tye-dye and a peace sign :P After a lifetime of adventures in the Northwest, in 2009 I made the decision to move to Orange County, CA, just to live the the sun for a change!
In California, I met my boyfriend, Cory. After a year and a half together, we moved to Texas to homestead! It was a dream come true for both of us. Unfortunately, the land deal fell through in July, 2011. It was heartbreaking. Now. we are looking for land to buy and will hopefully do so by summer 2012. It’s going to work out — I know it will :)
I run a small book-publishing and continuing-education business for my mom, and spend most of my time worrying about meeting my “completely insane Shanti-deadlines” that taunt me from the lines of my many to-do lists.
I have a long history of pouring myself into learning new things, enthusiastically employing all the stuff I learned in new projects, and then bailing when I’m done and finding a new thing to learn. It’s not that I have ADD – quite the opposite, really – it’s just that I learn quickly and am compelled by nearly everything :P (I’m an INTJ in every respect). As such, I have had a number of blogs over the years dedicated to different interests of mine, and with time I’ve come to see that that’s no longer the way for me to go about things. It is my hope that this blog can be the final resting place of all my various chronicles and musings.
I currently live in Huntsville, TX, with my boyfriend, Cory, and cat, Maddie. They are my favorite things :”>
You have inspired me to blog about my previous weight loss of 80 pounds and the healthy journey that I am trying to follow in order to lose the last 15. I will start vlogging soon. I am happy to see that you are back, healthy, and strong as ever. Please check out my blog (yourtruthdiet@wordpress.com) when you are able. I wish you the best of luck throughout your healthy journey. Thank you for being such an awesome, beautiful person!

Hey,
Thanks so much for putting up the website. I like that you are so confident and refreshing–I truly wish I was like this sometimes(make that most of the time) but I just don’t know how to get there! I watched some of your early videos and there is huge change in your confidence level as you started to lose weight(so kudos!). I am just starting my weightloss journey so I will keep you updated as it continues…
Cheers!

Hello Shanti! I am happy to see that you have a new blog! I am not surprised you are a Leo. My life is surrounded by many Leos (I am a Capricorn interestingly enough) and you Leos have the BEST personalities! You are an inspiration to me and many others! Thanks for sharing your life with us! :)
Hey Shanti, I am so happy you started this blog. I Love youuuuu…I watched your weight loss vidoes on your channel. You inspire me so much!
