My Word of the Year for 2017

January 10, 2017 By Haley 36 Comments

My One Word for 2017

I really love the practice of picking a "one word" for each year. Some prefer choosing a word to making new year's resolutions. I like to do both because I usually lose steam with my resolutions (around March) and having a "one word" helps me re-focus on my goals. In 2015 when Daniel left his job in Florida and we were selling our house there to live at the farm in Texas for his livestock … [Read more...]

The Feast of St. Patrick

March 17, 2012 By Haley 1 Comment

I hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day today! It is spring in North Florida and the outdoors are green in honor of one of my favorite saints. The dogwoods, azaleas, and wisteria are in bloom and the scent of flowers is downright intoxicating.
