In this week\u2019s episode, I\u2019m sharing some stories from the early days of our homestead, the hard lessons, the high hopes, and the deep love that has grown in the soil of our farm over the years. This episode was recorded in a season of low battery mode for me, a time when I was physically and emotionally drained, but still showing up to care for my animals and tend to the life we\u2019ve built. In the quiet of these days, I find myself remembering. From the goats that first stole my heart to the steep learning curves of loss and perseverance, this is a reflection on how far we\u2019ve come and how familiar this once-dreamed-of life has become. I talk about the value of seasoned love; in marriage, in farming, and in the calling to steward well. This isn\u2019t about the novelty of a new adventure, but the deep roots of a life lived slowly and intentionally. Thank you for spending time with me today.

As always\u2014I bless you, until next time.   ","author_name":"Roots and Refuge Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/rootsandrefuge.com\/podcast-page\/","html":"
