And just like that it's spring! 🏵️
I don't know if an apology or an explanation is in order for my hiatus from social media- nobody asked but here it is anyway 😜
These last couple of months have been a difficult season of transition, growth, and trying to go with the flow. In February I went back to work off the farm. A wonderful work from home job with excellent benefits, lovely people and well- adequate pay. That being said, while I am grateful for this new opportunity I never wanted it. In a perfect world the farm would be enough to sustain us but we all know the world is far from perfect- especially in this time and place in American history. It's more like a dumpster fire that we are all doing our best to survive. And if we can enjoy the little things along the way- home cooked meals, conversations with friends and a little league game twice a week. 👩🏼💻
It's hard not to compare yourself to social media success stories. While in my head I know that they have their struggles too, and social media most always highlights the success and hides the failures it's hard on my heart and I find myself asking- what are they doing that we're not, how are they making it look so easy, and ultimately what are we doing wrong to constantly be stressed about money, time, the future and everything else that plagues my brain. ❤️
I don't know the answer to these things and I probably never will and that's ok. Everyday we work hard to grow and learn as people and a farm business, to show others, and the much more difficult task, ourselves grace and at the end of the day be proud of what we're doing on and off the farm to support our family, friends and community. Life never looks the way you thought it would and I'm learning to let go and accept the reality of the here and now. 🌊
All that to say- life got crazy, adjusting to a new work life balance took time, and social media isn't always the healthiest place for me to be so I took a break. I'm back now and look forward to sharing our journey - the good, the bad and the million things in between. ✨
Stay wild out there! 🌼
