I have an inner critic. It tells me sometimes, I am not good enough to be a writer. That it is unlikely my book will ever be complete. It tells me to be careful who I talk to about my novel. I can't imagine writing full time is ever going to sound as impressive as whatever 'they' are doing. I can't imagine it is not going to sound contrite even 35ooo words in. It doesn't remind me about the people who love to talk about writing, who are interested in what my novel is about and who love the idea of me finally doing something I wanted to do since, forever. It doesn't remind me that I have to pinch myself some days that life feels peaceful and simple, that I have never been so interested in the landscape and the details big or small. It forgets to remind me, I feel more at home and content on the farm than ever before and yet connected to others who also love writing, that I have found a group of friends who also love to write and how they feel like soul mates.

This blog began in 2013 as a farmers wife wanting to know more about running the farm. It quickly evolved into an online journal, a place to share all aspects of my life and my passion for rural wellness. I am a mother, writer, Dru meditation and yoga therapist and an Ayurveda Health Coach. In 2023 I began a novel about rural life which has been both challenging and deeply satisfying.
