Welcome 2 My 1st Post-R. Holbert-Jones Pg, Sunset SC #ravenblackheartllc
Hello and welcome. This is the first post on my new blog. I've had this blog for awhile and deleted all of the posts I had on it and created two brand new ones and as usual I thought I could keep up with two, well, actually three, because I have one on wordpress that is monetized and I have many more posts up on it but lately with work, litigation and taking care of my aunt I've had no time really to post. I have a ton of posts that are private and ready to be posted but I don't even log on that often because I'm so caught up with everything else.
This leads me to this blog. I've decided to combine the two blogs into one with the many other things I want to write about and try not to overlap with my wordpress blog.
I spent the better part of the last two hours trying to find a new background image and I finally found one.
I do more videos that anything else. And have been for the past two years. But writing is my first passion. But over the past couple of years creating videos has become a real passion for me.
With that, I will end this post. I've been waffling between depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety (real bad anxiety) over the past few months. I'm also facing full time homelessness, full time living in my car which I'm not facing with as much grace as I'd like. I've been age obsessing lately. Am I too old for this life, then I remember that I'm losing my house and there isn't anything I can do about it. I've wanted for awhile to find a van, preferably a custom, conversion van, but I may end up buying a van and modifying it myself. I'm not there yet. Oddly, a lot of people are now downsizing and getting away from vans and going with SUV's. I have to say I'm particularly fond of the Ford Edge. I don't know why but I really like it. But all of this is a long way away. I have a lot of saving to do before I can get a van or any kind of a different vehicle and right now I have no intention of getting rid of my car which I very much like. I love it. Probably even more than the Ford Focus that got totaled by a tractor trailor and the Chevy Impala I had and believe me an Impala is hard to beat when it comes to a good travel car. But I'm very happy with the car I have now.
I don't understand why people are moving away from van life. Some are moving into houses/apartments/tiny homes. In fact, several of the YouTubers I follow have moved into sticks and bricks as it's called and some have gotten rid of their van and have downsized to SUV's for weekend camping/travel use. I can understand that. If a person only goes out on the weekend, why have a big van especially since a big van is not a good around town vehicle. One YouTuber I follow spent six years on the road living in her campervan and finally got tired of living on the road and found a place in Texas to live. Her lease is about up, she;s selling her van, bought a brand new Subaru Outback (they are very nice, I've looked at them) and has decided to get an apartment in New Hampshire for a little while until she decides where she wants to live.
Way back when I first started watching these people I was on the road some of the time, a lot of the time and either at my seasonal house or on the boat I rent and go back to periodically. Unfortunately, due to litigation and it's high cost I fell behind on my lease for the boat and my landlord made it clear I had to get the rent current which I couldn't do with the attorney looming every heavily. We finally got rid of the attorney and are going pro se (representing ourselves, my soon to be ex husband and me) but there is still thousands in attorney fees owed. MY landlord and I come to an understanding, that when I get caught up which will be awhile, I can come back to the boat. I'm not going to push the issue and force him to evict me. That's ridiculous. Plus, I'm taking care of my aunt almost full time.
Now I'm going to end. It's getting late. I'm headed to Food Lion for some yogurt and my nightly granola that I've been eating then on to a friend's. I've been couch surfing between two friend's located in Canton and Waynesville until I have to head to Texas to oversee my uncle's ranch and back to West Virginia.
I'm definitely not going to stay much longer because I don't want to wear out my welcome. Goodnight and God Bless to all!
My name is Rachel Xie Qi Holbert-Jones Page aka Sassygrrl32 and soon I will be making my home in Iva, South Carolina(post office box) and Hartwell, Georgia(living on the boat of a friend on Lake Hartwell). In between these two places I will be getting my aunt situated and moved to Dead Women Crossing, Oklahoma from West Virginia, previous to that Memphis, Tennessee which I hope to get back to soon, as she has not sold her condo there. As you can see, I'm in a lot of places. In addition to these places, soon I will be headed to Texas then Wyoming to oversee two of uncle's ranches and his cattle. He generously titled a herd of Texas Longhorns he bought with my name on them too. So I have a big stake in the cattle and seeing they are properly cared for. In between work, my aunt, legal woes and whatever else comes my way, I still like to visit haunted places, take pictures and video, write, camp, road trip, boondock, go to classic car shows, boat shows, dance, live music and develop new interests.

Until next time……...My story…………I’m Rachel Xie Qi Holbert-Jones and this is my story: living part time in Iva, South Carolina (Anderson County SC) and part time in Hartwell, Georgia on my boyfriend Malachi’s boat, a 1986 Chris-Craft Catalina 381, at the Hartwell Marina which technically doesn’t allow liveaboards so I can only stay there sometimes. He purchased a 1996 Holiday Mansion 39 Barracuda, a 1977 CHB Trawler 34 (I’m remodeling), a 1986 Marine Trader 54 Sunliner that I’m updating. Malachi and his brother purchased a 2018 Sunseeker Manhattan 52 and a 2001 Nordic Tug 37. I still have the 2001 Adventure-Craft 2800 in the Outer Banks that I’m currently not renting (but call home) because I’m behind on rent payments but I have the ability to go back to once I catch up (The landlord is a friend). *********************************************************************** I’m still taking care of my aunt in West Virginia but not as much anymore and hoping not to have to return to Memphis, Tennessee. We are scheduled to get my aunt moved to Dead Women Crossing, Oklahoma but it keeps getting moved farther out. I’m still traveling and road tripping for work and have been to my Uncle’s ranch in Alpine, Texas to oversee it and the cattle he titled in my name, Texas Longhorns, Scottish Highlands, Brangus and show horses. He’s also added some Bison and Beefalo to his ranch in addition to his other livestock. I still have a lot of familiarizing to do and I’m very happy to learn about the cattle, horses and the ranch. ************************************************************************* For my work travels my uncle purchased a beautiful blue 1995 Ford E-150 Econoline GT Starquest Campervan. I wasn’t sure at first about him purchasing an older van like this but the man that owned it previously had completely converted it with solar power and electrical and while it was priced higher than he wanted it was a great deal for all of the work the owner had done. It only has 112k miles and since I haven’t driven it much and it was purchased it in January 2024, it still has the same mileage. It only has a sealed portable toilet but that is okay because I prefer a public toilet and only use a camper toilet if I’m dispersed camping or at a Walmart and have no choice. I prefer rest areas and truck stops and only stay at a Walmart or Cracker Barrel if I must. For short trips, I drive a car or SUV my Uncle gives me. ************************************************************************* I have an avid love for photography and capturing the essence of old, abandoned properties, allegedly haunted places, classic, antique vehicles, lakes, rivers, nature and historical places. I’m not a ghosthunter or paranormal investigator although I’ve had people request me to lead their groups, I’m a legend Hunter which means I love to chase the legends. I love scary podcasts and spend more time on YouTube or Audible than Peacock or Tubi. I used to watch TV or movies when I stopped for the night but now I usually go right to sleep when I stop and prefer the podcasts of Darkness Prevails, What Lurks Beneath or Swamp Dweller. I like to listen to scary trucker stories too, occasionally Carmen Carrion or grizzly/polar bear attacks. On Audible I like books but have only finished one or two so it doesn’t really pay for itself. I do like the Dateline Podcasts. I’ve recently developed an interest in the law and like google scholar and casetext for research, medium, wordpress and blogger for writing, YouTube, listening to van lifers and people living in their cars, SUV’s and RV’s. I like Facebook groups geared toward van life, camping and road tripping, unsplash, pexels and pixabay for public domain photos, pinterest, instagram, reading, greek mythology, the metaphysical, ebay, shadowlands (for places that are supposedly haunted) and the internet. ***********************I like creating videos, photography, blogging and going to car shows when I’m not working which consists of scouting for investment properties and rehabbing/remodeling those properties after my Uncle and his business partners purchase the houses. We also remodel old boats and restore classic cars. When not working, I like camping, photography, museums, historical places, art galleries, antique shops, anything old and driving deserted back roads. I’m also into fitness, weightlifting (although I haven’t been doing much of it this winter because it’s cold and I like to exercise outside), nutrition, healthy eating, gua sha, face rollers, beauty, fashion and recently tai chi and yoga. ***************************************Visit my blogs at https://rachelholbertjonespage.com, https://sassygrrl32x.blogspot.com and https://youtube.com/sassygrrl32 *****************************************By Rachel Xie Qi Holbert-Jones Page AKA sassygrrl32 & Haunted Legendhunter & Bourbon Street Blogger *******************************************For my name change: First, it is part of my rebranding and second I wanted to take my great-grandmother’s maiden name and incorporate it into my name for heritage sake. Xie means “thank” in mandarin, it dates to the Nanyang in the Henan province, annexed around the Western Zhou dynasty (1076-771 BC). In ancient chinese it meant “acrobat skills” and “flying upward” as in a bird. The Xie family name was found in the USA in 1920 in Wisconsin. Da Xie means to “express one’s thanks” and Xie Mei is “harmonious and graceful.” ************************************************************************ Qi (Che, Chi, pronounced chee) means “the circulating life force whose existence and properties are the basis of much chinese philosophy and medicine”; “the energy in everything”; “vital life force.”; “flowing vital energy.” **************************************************************** In traditional chinese philosophy and medicine, qi is an unseen energy that flows through everything, binding all things together within the micro and macro elements of the universe. And one more interesting tidbit: Low Bow (bowing as low as you can) is reserved for people of much higher stature than yourself and indicates deep respect. ***********************************************#rachelholbertjones #rachelxieqiholbertjones #sassygrrl32 #sassygrrl32x #Iva #SouthCarolina #Hartwell #Georgia #andersoncounty #livinginacar #vanlife #nomadlifestyle #carcamping #roadtripping #boondocking #carlife #livingoffgrid #vandwelling #vanliving #personalblogpage #legendhunter #haunted #abandoned #rhjonespage #rxqhjp #rxqhjonespage #rxqhjpage rxieqiholbertjones #rachelxieqi #rachelxieqiholbertjonespage #xieqiholbertjones #xieqiholbert #xieqi #sassyaftersixty #deadwomencrossing #oklahoma #westvirginia #memphis #tennessee #sassyaftersixty #bourbonstreetblogger #bepositive #prayer #GodBless #vitallifeforce #flowingvitalenergy #unseenenergy #taichi *****************************************As a side note: To explain my homeless/houseless situation, my ex boyfriend sold my house without my permission by signing the purchase agreement online and not talking to the buyer. The buyer was a wholesale agent in Florida, the house is in North Carolina, so there was never any meetings. The wholesaler sold the contract (reassignment) to someone else. My ex BF took the money. Unfortunately, we had joint accounts. We are now in litigation (with the buyer) and are currently in an appeal and I have several motions set for a few months from now. There were a lot of discrepancies in the contracts as well as a number of errors the trial court made. In one contract I was listed as my father’s wife, my address was wrong, there were many mistakes. The whole thing (closing) took place out of state. I’m looking for my ex BF so I can take a lawsuit on him but he lives full time in his RV so I have no idea where he is currently. He has a post office box and several certified letters have been sent but went undelivered and I’ve certainly not told him I’m trying to serve him with a lawsuit. The last known address I have for him is in Arkansas and he uses his brother’s address in Tennessee (summons has been sent there too and went unserved by the sheriff). ****************************************************I just wanted to share, a lot of people on my YouTube channel wanted to know the story and many don’t understand how someone else can sell your property out from under you but it happens. It happened to me. It was inherited property and many of my friends believe I was targeted. This isn’t something I can really talk about in my videos. I have a little but I have to be very discerning on what I say and technically I’m probably not supposed to be talking about considering I’m seeking to sue my ex boyfriend for his part. I’ve tried going to the police but they couldn’t help me. They said it was civil matter. So there you have it.
