My Story...

Hi, I'm Velvet- a registered nuse of 20 years, full-time RVer, Disney adult, and proud chronic illness warrior living with lupus.

For years, I searched for what life could look like beyond limits. Illness, work, and everyday challenges didn't stop me- instead, they pushed me to create a life that feels meaningful, adventurous, and mine.

That's how Finding Ever After was born.

Here, you'll find:

  • Travel Nursing & Healthcare Life- tips from two decades on the floor and on the road.

  • RV Living & Travel- what it's really like to call a 42 foot fifth wheel home.

  • Chronic Illness & Wellness- honest stories and spoonie-friendly strategies.

  • Disney & Fun- because magic and joy are part of living fully

  • Creativity & Lifestyle- books, photos, and little sparks of inspiration.

This isn't about pretending life is perfect. It's about finding freedom, meaning, and even magic in the middle of hard things. It's about writing your own Ever After- whatever that looks like for you.

So whether you're a nurse, a traveler, a fellow spoonie, or just someone searching for a life beyond limits... welcome. You belong here.

A group of people sit around a wooden table engaged in a discussion, with sheets of paper in front of them marked with diagrams and the words 'Diabetes Advocacy'. There is a bright, natural light coming from a nearby window, and everyone appears focused on sharing ideas, as some take notes with colored markers.

This blog offers practical advice and emotional support that truly resonates with my experiences.
