Beautiful post! What a great find. I collect all the glass that emerges in my garden, too along with an old tax token, glass button and hand-blown marble. Our foot prints are always on top of someone else's. You and your kids might like to share the story of your house in this project: http://www.thatsmyoldhouse.com/.
The memories of strangers.
I'm not sure when our house was built, but I know it's over 100 years old. The Danielsons raised five kids here during the Great Depression. Five kids. In 1000 square feet. There were two other owners between then and now, but to all the old-timers around here it'll always be the Dan...
Rachel, I'm truly grateful for the space you've created for the cultivation of gratitude and for all the others, especially writers, who join in!

Cultivating gratitude.
I know. I know. I'm stepping back. I really am. But first... I believe that cultivating gratitude can transform not only how we view our (beautiful yet deeply imperfect) lives, but transforms our lives themselves. Each week I will share with you seven things that I am thankful for. I'd love ...
And, #8, I am grateful for this post that gave me inspiration for my own today! http://elmirapond.blogspot.com/2013/09/digging-into-gratitude.html

Farming can feel like truth-sowing. Hands in the dirt, you get to know better who you and your family members are. While I have not yet branched out into my own chickens or bacon or beef, I come from the western ranching culture and remember what it was like to push cattle to and fro summer pastures and know--truly know--my food. It is an intimacy that may puzzle vegetarians, but truth is the best way I can think to describe it. And I want my food to align with the truth of who I am. Love your thoughtfulness, as always! And thanks for the book suggestions (Shannon Hayes).
On the farm.
Two thougths before I begin: 1. Talking about meat (and bees and keeping animals) has the potential to be a sensitive subject. Everything said below is based on my own truth. I urge each of you to seek out your own truth as well. Ask questions. Sit wi...
Have a wonderful day! You gotta know when to write, and when to just look at cranes.
{This moment}
I had every intention of posting today (or yesterday, or... well, you get the idea) but life and Lyme got in the way. So instead I'm taking my kids on a field trip to this amazing place (where I used to work) and calling the weekend out early. Sending blessings to each of you today. Love, Rac...
Ah, what an uplifting, refreshing blog post! As good as that dip in the creek looks!
Expect miracles.
Today. Go slow. Live now. Laugh deep. And love. Relax your hold on yesterday and tomorrow. They do not exist today. Instead, be here. Because nothing else is real. Today. Love everything. Hate nothing. Let go of fear. And expect miracles. Release perfection. And judgement. Emb...
