A little bit about us......
we are outside more than in
we are outside more than in
we take risks.....and are always searching new ways to enjoy our farm
we name all our pets, and they own this farm, not us.........
like Fred and Redfoot here (whom we miss terribly)
we climb our own mountains and rejoice when we get to the top.......
we take care of our animals like people, and show them off like fine china at a dinner party.......
we love each other........(even when your better half does some funky things with his beard)
we respect EVERY human life......no matter how small.......
we believe in God and all his miracles from within......
whether you can see them or not
stand tall and speak out - don't rely on others to do it -
are YOU brave enough to really be what you believe?

ReplyDeleteHi Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are up and running again in blogland. I was going through withdrawls here:( A lovely post as always and always one of inspiration.

ReplyDelete~~HUGS~~
Hi Anne Marie.
ReplyDeleteI hope this comment finds you well...I so missed your inspirational posts during your computer malfunction!!!
A few years ago, I embraced this very concept you speak of...to truly BE what I BELIEVE. It involved me taking a leap of faith, quitting my "professional" career, and embracing what I knew I was always meant to be a, a wife and mother...FIRST!!!
This 2nd year in my new profession as stay-at-home mom has been the best in my life. And guess what, apparently, I'm doing so good at my job that God has granted me an extension...baby #3 is due in late July/early August and our little family of 4 couldn't be happier. Just made the blog announcement today as I hit the 2nd trimester mark...wooo whooo!!!
Blessings to you ,
Valerie
