Stay In-the-Know

Instagram

  • Life is happening all around us, and we miss out on so much when our faces our in our phones! Take time today to be fully present with the people you love, with nature, and with God. It will bring you far more peace than social media will, I can pretty much guarantee it.
  • This week’s garden bouquet: variety of zinnias, thai basil, oregano As the old zinnias are seeding, new ones are coming up in different colors. I’m excited for new variety! I just planted my fall vegetables garden and need to add more flowers because of the sheer joy they bring.
  • The Haitian kids that I get the honor of knowing are amazing, resilient, and are more appreciative of their education than you know. We invest in their education because we believe they are the future of Haiti. This little girl belongs to a friend of mine. She stays excited about life through all the challenges her family faces ... she makes Haiti’s future brighter!
  • We got the honor of visiting the farms of the @harvest107 Kenscoff co-op ladies today. We hiked, fell in the mud, laughed, and talked. Gracie and I brought along friends from Oshkosh who got a taste of the ups and downs of life in Haiti. I have so many moments that stood out today and I’ll share more later, but for now I wanted to share this photo of everyone going back down the hill from one of the last farms because I thought it was so beautiful and represented the idea that blue skies are ahead!
  • Happy 18th Birthday Gracie! What an honor it has been to be your mama! I love you and am proud of you and so damn happy to be your friend too! 😘💗
  • During these days of sadness and divisiveness in our country, I have decided that keeping a tiny bouquet in the house at all times is a good way to bring forth gratitude and a smile.
  • She convinced me to go to a hot power yoga class with her today. I haven’t taken a class in about 2 years (damn I shouldn’t have let so long go between!). I nearly died - ok, not really, but I was pushed and loved it (even when I hated it). I also legit CRIED during class. There was this section in which we alternated between a hip opener and child’s pose and I bawled during child’s pose every. single. time. I cried for our nation. I cried for the divisiveness. I cried for the shooting victims and their families. I cried for injustice in the world. I cried for Haiti. I cried for myself and my family. Sometimes you need to let it all out. It’s ok! Even if it’s in a room of strangers, or during a yoga class while getting your butt kicked.
  • America, it’s time to call it what it is.
  • It is almost time again for the @PfamilyMission #EducationInitiative. There have been lines outside The Farm House almost every day of families hoping to get their children sponsored for school this coming year. Let me know ASAP if you’re interested in sponsoring because you have no idea how hard it is to turn away kids who really want to learn!
