He is one of the incredible humans that Sandy and I have been blessed to meet while we’ve been volunteering at the Dream Center.
The people here are all living examples of God’s grace and redemption. Each of them is at a different stage of their recovery journey. They are all strengthening their faith in God and understanding that their recovery is only possible with God and surrounding themselves with a strong support system.

We met Juan and Mary while working on the A Year to Volunteer project at Picacho Peak State Park. They are fellow full-time RVers who also have a spirit of giving back and helping others. We had an immediate connection with them and wanted to help tell the story of what led them to their full-time journey.

Alex is the son of my good friend, and fellow full-time RVer, April Crossley. We met back in September at Henrys Lake State Park in Idaho. We were able to stay a few days in the same campground as April and her husband, Justin, and Alex and his girlfriend came out to visit them during that same timeframe as well.
During the podcast, Alex and I exchange stories of what it was like when our mothers told us that they were going to be embarking on these crazy journeys. I was much younger when my mom decided to travel around the country in an old 1967 Plymouth Valiant, but it was interesting to get the perspective of what someone else’s reaction was like when they received the news as well.

Pulling Each Other Along is more than just a feel-good book, it is a movement where not only our own personal achievements are recognized, but also take the opportunity to pay it forward and to recognize the person, people, or beliefs that pulled each of us along to our own relative greatness. Without this driving energy during our moments of trepidation, we would have been unlikely to achieve success.
It is too easy to let a sense of self-doubt, fear, and lack of confidence take over, and having the person or team in your corner to pull, push, get out of the way, or even drag you through those moments is absolutely invaluable.

Phil and Shar are our dear friends and the founders of A Year to Volunteer. Sandy joins me as my co-host on this episode as we talk about the benefits of connecting with like-minded people and RVing with a purpose, or as Phil and Shar put it, R-Volunteering.
I first spoke with Phil and Shar back in April and was able to introduce Y2V to my listeners. Since then, Sandy and I have now volunteered on two Y2V projects. The first at The Raptor Education Group (REGI) in Antigo, Wisconsin and the second at Picacho Peak State Park in Picacho, Arizona.
