For some reason, the mantra "two steps forward, one step back" keeps coming to my mind. My life has been full of humbling myself to see the beginnings of personal success day after day. Part of this seems to be a constant reminder that two steps forward and one step back is still progress. Slow progress, but the humble beginnings of progress nonetheless.
The hubby and I have been married for almost two years now. We met during an internship and fell quickly and madly in love. Two years later we graduated college, got married, moved to an apartment, started full time jobs, bought a house and moved again, all within 5 months of each other. We move aggressively, wonderfully fast and are always seeking out the next challenge in life. Our homestead now consists of 26 acres that we have turned into a hobby farm. The current farm now houses 2 adults, 1 slobbery pooch, 4 ridiculously stupid goats, 27 meat chickens, 4 ducks, and 6 laying hens. We used to have 10 hens that provided oodles of eggs until a neighbor dog broke into the coop and decimated our progress- two steps forward, one step back...
My daily life falls somewhere in between managing the stress and expectations of a corporate world, to learning how to dive in and get my hands dirty (literally and figuratively) at home while taking care of myself and staying sane. The polar opposite nature of the two is thrilling and uses two completely separate parts of my brain, my passion, and my determination. I've started this blog to remind myself of what success looks like and how it evolves as I grow.
