Visions of a brighter future are worth pursuing. The path you plot to make that happen will always be filled with obstacles and turns that aren’t expected. It’s important to never give up, use obstacles as steppingstones, and turn as a new path forward.
A year ago, Phillip and I agreed to try and find a way to have a larger influence on our children’s future here in Maine and the United States. We want to live in a state and country that is abundant in opportunity. A place where they can find a high valued living, where communities thrive on their own. That is why Phillip attempted to run for U.S. Senate.
The path we chose a year ago has taken a turn. It’s become clear to us that the masses hyper fixate on whatever is entertaining and divisive. Not many do research or try to see all sides. Feeling very discouraged by politics, society, and just how corrupt and money driven it is.
For now, we’ll be focused on the farm, the astronomical observatory, and our nearby communities. There are a lot of wonderful people that we’ve gained through this journey. People that want what we do. Looking forward to continuing with these connections and seeing what doors they open. I still have faith in building something beautiful for my children and our future generations.
I’ll be developing a survey of event ideas at the farm this summer and when the best times are. Thinking of gatherings around astronomy, food, Yoga, and a silent book club. Open to ideas if you have any.
