Today is the first day of my blog! I am finally writing it all down...my thoughts and observations, joys and sorrows of living here on my small farm in East Texas. It is the kind of place where a person can hang their heart and strive for simple abundance.
It is the place where I have raised and buried llamas, dogs, cats and a bunny. I have planted flowers, trees, shrubs and vegetables here, and built fences, corrals and a barn with a llama weather vane on top. I have observed families of red foxes, Rocky the raccoon, a resident red-shouldered hawk, numerous armadillos, and a hog nosed snake named Larry, all in a part of the country that is not even close to where I would choose to be if I could choose. But it is the place that I am, and I have lived here longer by far than any other place in my entire life. I have made friends and connections here and found my way back to Me. There is a reason I am here and I decided years ago that I would bloom wherever I was planted.
So....why a blog? Well I love to write and I love to reach out and share. I love to ponder, observe, create, learn, document, and I love to read other people's blogs. Blogging seems to be a perfect match! Hopefully something I write will resonate with you, the reader, at some level. If so, let me know and both our lives will be enriched. You may not agree with everything here, nor should you have to, but hopefully what you find here will make you think, help you learn to observe and to appreciate your world from where you stand, and that you, too, are able to bloom where you are planted.
So hang around, sit a spell, visit often, pass the word.... Life is Good at HeartSong Farm!
Next post.....is there a baby llama on the way?!
