January the 6th Zoom Meeting: The Real Life of a Trailblazer!

 

As I began to think of the impact that Leanne's presentation made on me, the phrase, "God made dirt and dirt don't hurt!" came to mind. She totally embraces the mess, getting dirty, and remembering that a little soil never truly harms you.

 

It's part of living boldly!

 

Leanne is a testament to that quote as she heads off the pavement into the high desert in her selling area in a 4-wheel drive vehicle equipped with a reliable GPS. A set of tires every year, proves her worth in leaving rubber in her wake!

 

That shows a true commitment to the dirt life!

 

Here are 30 things that can be done with dirt, from the everyday to adventurous activities:

1. Build a dream house on a dirt lot.

2. Plant a garden and grow your own veggies.

3. Build a simple sand/dirt castle or mound.

4. Go off-roading in a 4x4 like Leanne does.

5. Make mud pies, a classic kid dessert.

6. Dig up worms for fishing bait.

7. Create a dirt bike or ATV trail.

8. Pot flowering plants in fresh soil.

9. Play tug-of-war in a muddy field.

10. Build a dirt ramp for bikes or skateboards.

11. Start seeds indoors or sow into the ground.

12. Make a mud facial - natural spa treatment.

13. Buy a horse and ride the natural terrain.

14. Create pottery from clay-rich dirt.

15. Go mudding in trucks or Jeeps.

16. Mix dirt with water for finger painting.

17. Build an anthill observation mound.

18. Play baseball or soccer on a dirt field.

19. Compost food scraps into rich soil.

20. Dig a fire pit when camping.

21. Draw dirt art with sticks.

22. Plant trees to prevent erosion.

23. Have a mud run or obstacle course race.

24. Build a dirt track for toy cars.

25. Use dirt to level uneven ground.

26. Create a natural path or walkway.

27. Mix with water for a slip-n-slide.

28. Grow wildflowers in a dirt patch.

29. Make adobe bricks for small projects.

30. Roll around in it and laugh because dirt don't hurt!

 

This is the result of my Ah-Ha moments for the zoom meeting on January 6th, 2026. Presentation by Leanne Smith. Hope you enjoyed the post!

I get near dirt a lot when hitting the links and so appreciate it when my ball doesn't end up in those special dirt boxes.

Funny, I just finished the book 'Dirt Rich' about creating passive income without renters, renovations, and rehabs.  Has anyone read it yet?  Pretty intriguing.  I may have to post about it!

We lived on a dirt road until it was finally paved a couple of years ago, Nina Hollander, Broker. Vegas is only 90 minutes away if I want to experience concrete for miles!

That's sand, Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 and I am very familiar with bunkers as well. Almost built a sand castle in one because it was near impossible to get out!

That's alot of driving, George Souto! I tend to cover a lot of ground as well but specialize in residential properties for the most part but have sold a fair share of land, improved or not!

That's a good list for dirt, haha.  I remember falling down as a kid and someone telling me to just rub some dirt on it, haha.
