I can’t say I had ever felt a “calling” before, something I didn’t just want to do, but something I had to do. I had heard people talk about it but never experienced it myself.

But that’s exactly what happened in 2021, when my husband and I walked through a slice of woods deep in the woods of Northern Wisconsin.

I had never been to a place that felt so alive, and I knew with every fiber of my being that this piece of land was the next step for my growing family- even if the logical reasons to wait outweighed the ones to go – and I knew it was more than simply a place to buy or a place to live.

What I didn’t know was that this land would ask me to fully embrace a side of me that was still so deeply walled off I couldn’t access it, to work through layers of fear I didn’t know were still there. I had no idea I would be asked to share this journey, to share this place, to publicly step into a role I never believed was for me.

So here I am. Walking farther down the path I started years ago, through the layers of social and religious conditioning, through the fear, and towards my authentic self – and this website is the beginning.
