Birth of a Blog

It's hard to believe I've been blogging here for a year. 

It's one of those things where

it seems like it's always been part of your life,

but at the same time, it feels so new.

I can't say I'm much closer to achieving my idea

of a family homestead, but I have learned

a few things along the way.

When I look back at my intentions

for this venue, it truly was

just a place for me to clarify my thoughts

about what I wanted for our future.

I love writing and am grateful to have this creative outlet.

It has since evolved into a haven.

Whenever I log on and head to Maple Hill,
I feel like I'm turning for home.

God has connected me with so many

wonderful people who share my love

of simplicity, nature and the belief that

you pass on the good stuff...

It's been a year of growth and centering. 
A year where I've learned

that what I know can help someone else

do something in a different way or

find a new perspective in their life.

And I have been touched by so many

generous souls who feel the same need

to share what they know and

keep the good stuff moving...

Gratitude and many blessings

are sent your way today.

Thank you for being part of

my journey to becoming

all that God wants me to be.

Here's to the next year of learning,
sharing and growing...
