Thank you so much! That honestly means the world to someone like me who is quick to doubt and self-sabotage.

I appreciate your kindness, my friend.

I loved reading this and also enjoyed the drawing and picture. Being from a farm family, I understand the connection to the land, and the way the farm shapes us and remains a huge part of the people we become.

Thank you so much, Susan. I was hesitant to release it, but it feels good to get it out there. I wish I had more exposure to farm living—something I hope to gain more of in the coming years!

I appreciate your sensitivity, Devon. Dad died quite a few years back, but I still miss him sometimes.
