It’s been a while since last I wrote… A lot has happened since then. There has been debilitating heartache and excruciating pain. There were hard decisions that had to be made. Trials and tribulations that I thought would never end, but also victories and revelations and self-care and growth. It’s in these moments that we realize what we’re made of and who we truly are. I have grown on so many levels. Perhaps even in ways I haven’t noticed yet. Self-inflection is important to growth. You must look deeply within yourself and be brutally honest in order to truly grow. If you honestly want to change, you have to be brutally honest with yourself and then you have to commit on the deepest level to do the work that needs to be done.
For a brief moment in time, I walked away from my dreams. They seemed unobtainable. I felt unworthy… I convinced myself it wasn’t for me and that I was destined to be just another cog in the machine… God had other plans. At the time, I was delivering water for a filtered water company, cleaning office buildings and driving cars for a rental car company. It was enough to just barely get by. I was looking for another side gig and found more than I was expecting. I am now the publisher/editor of a high end community magazine for my small town. As exciting as this is, it is only a stepping stone. I have longed and yearned for the ability to by land and start a farmstead for the last twenty years. I have chipped away at this dream but always felt like I was running uphill in sand. Getting nowhere fast….
I have gotten my passion back. There will be more content on this blog soon, and by April 2024, there is a very real possibility that I will be packing up and leaving Colorado for the heartland. Stay tuned.
