What a trip these past two years have been.  Somehow I have ended up in an entirely new life;  happy, abundant, confident. This space has always been, above all else, a scrapbook for myself, and in that spirit it seems fitting that I give some sort of account of the time that's passed. Looking back just a few posts is a time warp to 2015, when I was living in a tiny apartment and getting married to my long time boyfriend. While I certainly don't wish to recount every detail of the transition, there are moments worth remembering.  my haven I will remember 2016 as the year I broke all the rules, consequences be damned. It wasn't easy. I made a lot of mistakes. Shed a lot of tears. But I learned about myself; who I really am, who I want to be, who I'm not, and who I don't want to be. That's a lot to learn. I walked away from my marriage, we had a lot of love for each other, but in our decade together we had grown into different people and had some i...

our castle Well... how did I get here? Over the past year my life has turned completely upside down. I finally gathered the strength to leave an unhealthy relationship after nine years. I moved four times. I lost jobs. I lost friends. I found myself in situations I never imagined could happen to me. I battled crippling anxiety and depression. I cried constantly. But life keeps moving forward, whether we realize it's happening or not, and I have to believe that universe is unfolding as it should. I started a job I actually enjoy, working outside. I made new friends. I found a new place to call home (we also call it #divorcefarm, but more about that later). I'm discovering who I really am and what I believe to be important in life. And I'm excited to share it with you. Stay tuned.

It's been a crazy amazing few months! I am thankful to tell you that Jonathan and I are settling into this new chapter of our lives very comfortably. Life gives us so many opportunities, it's scary to take them sometimes, but the risky ones are definitely worth it. We just got back online, so I will try to get back into the rhythm of things, slowly. I have to say it has felt a bit like vacation, not thinking about this space. Not taking pictures, writing, sharing. A part of me misses it, but a pretty big part also likes the feeling of invisibility.  Any-hoo, here's a few of the things you've been missing, which I will try to share in more detail soon; The Wedding: two of our best friends were married on Friday the 13th there was planning, decorating, and shopping trips bachelor and bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners and a bridal shower a whole array of last minute crises and disasters amazing times had by all, tons of photos, food, dancing, and...

the first storm of the season  I made a list full of changes to the blogs today. After a lot of consideration, I have imported all of the farm blogs into this one, and changed the name, domain, look and feel of this site to incorporate them both. The truth of the matter is, I can't keep them separate. The farm is our life. They are too connected. I am more drawn to the animals lately than ever before. Inspired by the blog and books of Jon Katz, I have been noticing more about their personalities and habits on a daily basis. Watching them more, paying attention.  I'm excited about this space. Until next time, Angela Kelly
