It’s been a while folks. Oh where to begin…. I sit here before a quietly blinking cursor, and swear I will not curse, myself. Just breathe and begin, there is no wrong answer. My silence here is reflective of my process. I am nothing if not authentic, and I write from a heartfelt space. Some…

Let me pour you a cup of flowers. Yes, Please. What is it about a cup of flowers poured over with steaming hot water? How is it possible that the right combination can move you to tears? Offering an unconscious release, you never knew you needed. Until now. Let me pour you a…

Breathe in the cool sweetness of early morning air, as I am quietly coaching myself back to center, back to the breath, and back to home. Filling the handmade artisan mug for maybe the 20th time this morning, from a fresh pot of rich black coffee, I take to outside into the softness of…

The winds are changing a bit here on the homestead. Shifting from the North, beginning to gently whisper warmth from the South. Soon we will be planting. I have been preparing for this beautiful abundant new season for months. There is soil to tend to, and perhaps spring babes, if we are lucky. There are…

I believe in Miracles Miracles happen when we open to them. God wants us to be whole, holy. He calls us to him, he uplifts, he heals. He sends Angels to hold our hands to witness our becoming, to gently guide us into alignment. All of creation sings our birth song. Calling us to our…

The day broke strong and bright signaling the beginning of the weekend. Warm humidity of melting snow permeated the air, and stirrings within me suggested strongly the possibility of the maple trees awakening, sap running. Gathering my brace, hammer, and a few taps in my vest pocket, I stepped out into the melting snow, feeling the crystalline crunch…

Deep fall when leaves have left their precarious perches high above heads, making their journey back to the earth, after the color, the vibrancy, the autumnal glow is fading, is the time to gather wild rosehips. The hard frost has been upon the homestead steadily for over a week now. Breaking through ice that freezes thick on water troughs…

I have discovered my elusive homesteading unicorn–sourdough. Embarrassingly enough, I have thrown countless jars of sourdough starter to the chickens, and some that I didn’t even dare throw to them, went back to the earth in the compost pile. For years, quite literally, to my great distress, I have tried without success, for one reason…

There is a connection with how we choose to nourish our bodies to both our energy levels and vibrancy. When we eat beautiful whole foods, we have more energy to live and enjoy life and do the work we are called to do. We radiate health and wellbeing both inwardly and outwardly. In contrast when we…
