Yo-ha! I'm Eliza, I was not creative with my username in anyway shape or form...I'm pretty sure I made it in a rush because I was low-key freaking out about my chameleon.....as I usually do.....
I work at a diagnostic and stabilization program for adults who have questions regarding their mental health (specifically what is occurring and why). We work with individuals who have been suffering with mental illnesses most of their lives and no longer have hope that they can live a meaningful, fulfilling life. This place has my heart. I am so honored to be able to be a part of their team and be able to watch these adults come in at the lowest points of their lives and walk out with so much light and excitement about the future. It very much is a reminder that there are still some good people out there in this crazy world.
If I'm not working or hanging out with all my chameleons or my chameleon peeps (ya I'm talking to you), I'm gardening in my yard, hanging out with my other animals and my family. I have two dogs named Yoda and Jyn. A hamster named Winter and a crested gecko named Hagrid, who is a rescue and has health problems, unfortunately. Besides my chameleon-babies, I probably enjoy keeping my hamster the most. He is in a large enclosure that allows him to engage in many behaviors that we would see in hamsters in the wild. I am working on getting to that point with my chameleons as well, however I still have a lot of growing to do to get to that point.
My family and I are always trying out new hobbies to see what interests us. We currently love rollerskating at one of those old-school skating places, going on nature walks and bee keeping. We plan on trying out stargazing and bird watching (thanks to
@Ghostbirb) while we camp this summer around various national parks. I also love painting murals on my walls and playing the piano.
I feel very lucky to be a part of this community, I love the friendship, kindness, and compassion that I have found here. It may surprise you to hear that my camera roll is all chameleons, my dogs and my child so here is an older pic with me and my bestie, I'm on the right and fun fact, we are married to twins and our kids look like siblings.
