Love the Simple Life

Featured Post
Does anyone else feel like running away to a farm?
Times are crazy right now with Covid, wildfires, protests, murder hornets and more. Everytime I close my eyes I dream of being on a quiet, beautiful farm with fruit and veggies growing in my garden, billowing trees that dance in the wind and me in a white flowy bohemian but chic dress. Anyone else having that fantasy right now?? I want to run away from everything and go back to the simple life (I never had).
I live in the suburbs of Austin, with shared greenery, but wish for several acres of land to let small children and animals run free. My husband and I would raise chickens and maybe keep a goat or two for milk and soap while our lavender fields flourish (Sometimes I’m in Vermont or upstate NY and other times I’m in the South of France).
I am a former art teacher who is trying to figure out what to do next. How do I balance my sanity, finances, and creative spirit?

Water Water Everywhere

And not a drop to spare. That’s how the old saying goes, but in my case only the first part applies. As part of my health journey, I’ve been trying to drink more water. I think most people can agree that they probably do not imbibe the recommended amount. Although I love water and doContinue reading “Water Water Everywhere”
