Another week has passed since my post about experiencing our first snow(fall) on our land. It almost seemed it would snow again. It sure was cloudy, humid, rainy and cold enough

What a turnaround! 3 months ago, we acquired our 1.1 hectare plot of (wild) land with a house like building on it that was far from ready to move in(to). Since then, @clareartista and I have been going

I really seem to be drawn to the more deep questions that life presents to us, in whatever form they take. Today it's a question that @galenkp has asked, as part of his Weekend Engagement initiative. When

It's been raining a lot lately, such sweet blessings for the earth. In the 10 years that I have been here, this is the most rain that I have seen fall. Everywhere is so fresh and green, everything feels

I slept much better last night. After sharing on here, I felt some of the heaviness fall away from me and my body felt softer, allowing me to drift off. I slept for at at least 10 hours, which my body

I'm aware that sometimes, people find me to be a bit confronting. Not from my words, but by my actions. By how I live. I'm personally trying to be more accepting of others, continuing to tell myself, that

I write a lot about my way of life and the reasons why I choose to live as I do. From a very young age, I think I had a good idea of what was important in making me happy. As all of us do, we want to feel

I love to celebrate life and I always try and celebrate my birthday. If you ask me, we don't celebrate life enough. And it's important that we learn to celebrate ourselves. I always organise a party for
