I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.....
that (obviously) we are not in control.......
to an extent we are, but really, what it means is letting yourself go, giving your all to others, and in return, you will (somehow) enjoy life.........living an organic lifestyle has opened my eyes to such a greater appreciation for hard work, and how in order to achieve anything worthy in this life, you must work hard........
which could mean a drastic change in your diet..........or maybe in your prayer life/meditation.......
for me, on the farm...........well..........right now...........I want a sense of purity........of clarity........and this is becoming a process of both interior re-decorating both of home and soul.............
All these posts I'm showing you all, have everything to do with this clarity........and if I was to really delve into it here on my online journal, truly, with all my heart pouring out, it would sound a bit like Keats, or a Romanticist who's totally lost her God lovin' mind......
which I haven't.........at least........I don't believe so.........
*don't let anyone leave you without knowing they are loved*
running out the door ...just know you are loved and missed
ReplyDeleteI like that Anne Marie, a sense of purity...of clarity! It sounds very calming and peaceful - I could use some of that! Enjoy your weekend...
ReplyDelete:) T
You are a very calming soul, Anne Marie. You have a special gift, I think. I always feel really calm after visiting your blog...there is no materialistic nonsense, no pretenciousness and you can be so profound.
ReplyDeleteI, on the other hand, am full of nonsense and do posts on fairies !!!! XXXX
so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI am going to look for these kind of posts, Anne Marie. In many ways I am looking for the same sort of things.
ReplyDeleteYou are loved!!

My life has a calmness, peacefulness and serenity I never found in the city or 'burbs. While it's true my dearest friends live six, or more, hours away, it's also true our friendship is all the more special when we do get together.
ReplyDeleteI love being able to walk in my pastures at 3 a.m. with no fear. I love being able to see the Milky Way stretched out in the heavens. At some point in time, I may have to leave this farm but, in the meantime, I love every moment, every second, living here.
Hi Anne Marie
ReplyDeleteLife can be quite interesting [polite words haha].. but I think when we look for clarity.. we have to unload all the dross that has been accumulating in whichever form we can.
Just like your precious organic garden.. sometimes we need to uncover and dig up the toxins to allow the goodness to grow.
I'm sure some ppl think I am a little batty but there's a lot of toxins in my garden. Luckily I have ppl like you who help with the weeding!
Have a great unburdened weekend. xx Julie
I am so encouraged by these posts - this fall food puttin' up and working for hubby has got me frazzled and with very little time for pondering...I am burning out.
ReplyDeleteAnd If I start pondering with the stove on something gets burned!
Looking forward to seeing how this comes out in your decorating - as for your person, I can't imagine you projecting any more clarity.
I wish I had your solid commitment to an organic lifestyle - I think I must be more on an 80/20 girl...as I sit here eating a TWIZZLER?!!
I know, I can't hardly believe it either. Must be the hormones.
I love that last little phrase that you asteriked (sp.?), anyway, the one where you said not to let anyone leave without knowing they are loved. These are very important words. I would definitely say you have clarity!
ReplyDeleteI'm coming for my caramel corn!!!!
ReplyDeleteI do LOVE this blog and I have to now follow! Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteMy life could use some purity and clarity right now!
ReplyDeleteLove the blog header. It's such a great photo of you. Purity and clarity are something to strive for. I think you do it well. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteLiving in nature DEFINITELY slows us down!
