It was another busy, busy week, and I didn’t have a lot of time to think about what I wanted to write about. I was pretty close to saying “screw it, I’ll take another week off,” but I really didn’t want to do that. While I was brainstorming ideas, I sometimes google blog topic ideas […]

For the first time in almost three months, neither Dan nor I have to go to the farm AND we have zero plans. Don’t get me wrong, I love the farm, and I love how much Dan loves the farm. But this time of year starts getting crazy with planting, picking rock, miscellaneous projects of

This week, I want to share something I read in the book Iron Hope by James Lawrence. For a bit of background, James Lawrence was the keynote speaker at our NATE UNITE show this last February. He’s an endurance athlete who is known as the “Iron Cowboy” because he has broken the world record for

I want to give a little shout out to Dan this week. We’ve been through a lot over the last couple of months and there’s been a lot of grief. I’ve probably been a little difficult to be around sometimes as I try to manage my emotions, but he hasn’t left my side once. If

It has been an emotionally tolling week – we’ve all been there. One thing that did lift my spirits was that this time last year Dan and I were on our honeymoon in Belize, and all the photos have been popping up in my memories this week. I’m choosing to focus on the sunny beach
Has anyone else noticed that after a very stressful event, your body just kind of gives out on you!? It’s like it knows you finally have time to relax, so obviously you have time to be sick too, right? That’s what happened here. I got back from Vegas on Friday, and by Monday, I had

Earlier this week, I was talking with a few of my coworkers and the subject of working out came up. One of them mentioned they couldn’t imagine working out with people – she wanted to be left alone! But it got me thinking about how much I’m the opposite: I LOVE having someone to share
Honestly, I’m at a loss this week. I’ve written up several different versions of this post trying to accurately put into words what I’m thinking and feeling, but it’s all ended up going down a rabbit hole of anger and frustration, so I’m not going to get into all of that here. One thing I

Have yall seen those posts on social media that basically say something like “POV, you’re in your 30’s and you get sorted into one of the four houses: marathons, books, plants, or sourdough.” It made me laugh so hard because I feel like I’m working my way down the list! I’ve run marathons before, I’m
