Are we crazy?

I think most people who meet us believe we are crazy. But - to us, we’ve never felt more sane.

Jay and I have been in the corporate world. We drank - a lot. Like a lot, a lot. I was up to four bottles of wine by myself per night. I had no idea where my money was going. I was sick all the time - I was miserable and didn’t care if I died. I knew, underneath it all that was where I was headed. I was masking and hiding from myself.

I was in sales, a manager. My teammembers told me I was a pretty good manager. I adored my team - they are all amazing humans. I learned a lot about being a good manager versus a not great one. I was a great sales rep. I still am in sales to help keep our farm running and bills paid. Selling tinctures doesn’t pay our electric bill. I sell expo booths for a national hiking show if anyone is interested. www.hikeexpocolorado.com

I was lost - one day, there was a moment when Jay said he needed to stop drinking. That was my catalyst to examine where I was headed, and if I wanted to continue down the road of doom that I was on.

The answer was thankfully, that I wanted to live. And I discovered that I not only wanted to live - but that I wanted to be full of joy while doing it. For our children, for Jay, but mostly for me. Because I am worth it.

While we figured out who we were while not consuming alcohol, we looked around our property and realized that our home was our Heaven, and that she was meant to be a homestead. The transformation into Heaven began.

We’ll post more blogs in the future. This one’s pretty good as a start.
