Well, the blog has been neglected for some time. This was a place that began from a desire to document pieces of our life. Once I realized as a young mom how fast the time goes, I knew I surely wouldn't remember many of the moments I wanted to memorize in my heart. Our life led us on a little adventure in the next few years but I didn't post too much after our move to Cherry Valley! I really do love the process of writing and I hold a desire to do it, even if it's just for myself. But how does one make the time for thus blogging between all the meals, dishes, refereeing boys, homeschooling, gardening, preserving food, daydreaming (ha), showers, church and that thing called sleep? I obviously haven't figured it out yet but I'm challenging myself to commit more of me to this space here. We realistically only have so much time in a day but the beauty is we can choose where we want to place our time. This usually means saying "no" to some thing in order to have space to say "yes" to the thing we want to do. For me it would be saying no to the amount of time spent browsing through social media. It really boggles my brain to see how easily distracted I get "checking one more thing" to find myself down a whole other rabbit hole. Distractions are an evil thing when you've got life to live! So here I am being intentional and saying out loud in internet space that I choose to be present here more often.
That is all I have for now. My hopes in the next post is to share more about our homesteading journey after we moved from Palm Springs and how it has led to where we are now. Stay tuned and feel free to bug me if I'm taking too long- I might just need a little friendly pressure aka accountability.
