Oh boy, if there is one thing I have learned as we have expanded our lives, it's that the bigger the vision and more you expand, the more help you need. My husband and I are pretty capable people and if there is something we want to do, we can usually make it happen. We are willing to learn and maybe even more importantly, we are willing to try…and fail if need be.
These last 2&1/2 years have been seemingly the least "productive" years of my adult life…but in reality, they've been the most transformative. Unproductive in the sense that I didn't "do" much. At least not that I formerly had been known for or identified with. In the years prior to this season, I had lived a very full and seemingly abundant life.
I’m a wife and mother (among many other things) and I’ve done a variety of things in life that have led me to where I am now, which is our sweet little farmstead here in Northern California.
Goodness, today was just one of those days! I'm sure you know what I mean by that, right? It was a day when I had more problems than I had solutions for, more to do than hours in the day, more challenges than I had emotional bandwidth to deal with…one of those days.
