It seems really dramatic to say, that the dawn of leaving darkness behind is upon me.
I wish I could get my thoughts out of my mind, and not sound like a complete maniac in the process.
Instead, you’ll just have to scratch your head over the person on the other side of the screen! haha. I’m right there with you. 🙂
I always said, if I do another business or blog again I am going to aim to be 100% real. But with maturity, comes the wisdom not to overshare. (hello! what a long and drawn out process!)
Besides all of that, life is taking a different turn. Not in any dramatic ways but maybe actually in bigger ways than I can see and understand at the moment (and isn’t life often like that!)
This winter we went absolutely ham on our house. Someday I will try to write some kind of essay on what that whole process was like, that can be extremely carthartic, and I feel it can be helpful for others who feel kind of paralyzed or stuck. Ok, that is sounding super, duper more insightful then it’d probably be. I blame all of my needing to “rush on to the next thing” and be “production, production, production” on my eldest child status. Yes, victimizing again. Wait, we were getting back to maturity?! How quickly I forget! hehe
This blog post is a really weird and random way to annouce that we are officially starting a small scale flower farm. I have a dream to be able to offer small bouquets at our super small country store (aka, glorified farm stand!) And maybe even the occasional custom bouquet for that special someone or event. (wit-WEW!) IF I could ever get good enough at growing a few crops we may consider doing a bit of wholesale. I’m not the professional, polished, person who pretends to know what I’m doing. I’ve never been the one who believes in “fake it to make it”. For me it’s more like, “who cares if you fail, do it anyways”. For me when I’m crafting, growing, raising babies, homeschooling, or whatever I’m putting my heart and mind to it’s about the PROCESS. “Am I throwing myself completely at this process, regardless of what the outcome will be?” AND, “Am I loving the process, because if not, then I need to get my head and heart in the Bible and in prayer and ask God to give me an ATTITUDE adjustment!” (no appointment necessary, no cost, free gifts offered 24/7! Hello, sign me up!!)
I want to live every day of my life like it’s an amazing gift from God, because it is! What does he want me to spend my time on today? Is something I try to ask myself each and every morning.
For now my bouquets are available at Grace and Gather in Houghton, MI each Tuesday.
I’m so inspired by God’s goodness and how much he loves us! I hope when you see and smell one of my arrangements, you are reminded of that truth also!
You can find Grace and Gather on Instagram HERE. There is also another incredibly talented grower in our area, Huron Floral, who also sells her bouquets there. So definitely support and reserve her bouquets for yourself also! If you want to call and reserve for either of ours, call Grace and Gather. their phone # is (906) 523-5777
Thanks for reading my ramblings.
So much love from me,
Heather
