What a fantastic way for me to end my day! Reading about your experience transports me to your farm and to your labors while asking me to be more present as well. So proud of you and how you capture this journey!

Absolutely loving these updates, and really appreciate you giving a full view of what you're experiencing - the ups of the new and exciting experiences and the downs of missing certain aspects of being home. I've been feeling very overwhelmed by the policy changes affecting my environmental work in the states and feel a lot of comfort reading this and remembering there are some very basic spiritual and land-based principles I and we as a culture need to reconnect to. Thanks for this!

Oooooh thank you for this kind note! It can all feel quite overwhelming, which to me only reiterates the importance of reclaiming a sense of connection with the earth that influences how we treat it, and each other (one and the same!). We have so many blueprints for planetary mindfulness and connection in all of our family lineages, it's just a matter of dusting them off and creating new norms for how we engage with them. Appreciate you reading along and sharing! :)

Hi Sheila, your dad kindly sent me this link to your adventures. Being part of a place is the best way to experience it. Sounds like it's hard work, but also giving you time and space to reflect. Looking forward to reading your next post! XO, Laura
