Welcome Home: Happy Seed Home

So it begins. Since embarking on this journey, I have gotten many questions about moving/relocation, homeschooling, homestead exploration and more that I figured it would do me just as good to house all of the thoughts, stories, musings and comments in one central location. So, with that, welcome to Happy Seed Home: the blog that focuses on all things home and heart. I'm so glad you're here!

To begin, I wanted to share a bit more with you about myself. I'm a newly initiated homeschooling mama of two energetic boys. I strive to incorporate more yoga into my life through movement, or if only by taking deeper breaths throughout the day (because yoga is breath and breath is yoga, so that's something!) I'm also inquisitively open to exploring the world of homesteading, little by little. I consider myself a "life enthusiast" who loves all things simple and true. I possess an expansive passion to intimately share life with others, always with a deep sense of intention and purpose.

Simply put, this propels me forward. And honestly, this is why this blog was born.

Through this space of sharing, I hope to expose the many joys, struggles, challenges, and triumphs that I encounter along the way. I hope to grow closer to you - and myself - through it all. Because I believe that our biggest teachers in life are those we least expect to learn from - including ourselves. I hope you draw from both my mishaps and successes just as I have similarly drawn from others. And finally, I hope this blog makes you laugh, cry and everything in between. I hope it makes you reflect on the things that matter most on your own unique path of life.

In fact, that's exactly how this blog got it's name - Happy Seed Home. The idea behind Happy Seed is that, if we create enough space in our lives and listen intently enough to the voice within, we realize the many "happy seeds" of intention, love and grace that have been planted in our days. Sometimes by ourselves, sometimes by others - without us even realizing it. These "happy seeds" simply need a bit of attention and love to grow and flourish. This requires a bit of "slowing down". It requires the bravery of getting off the "fast track" of today's world - a world where we value that which is "busy" and produces quick, if not immediate, results - to take it One. Single. Step. At. A. Time.

That's what we'll be diving into my friends. That's what we'll be exploring. How to slow down. How to listen better and love deeper. Together.

I don't claim to have answers. I'm slowly but surely trying to find my way just like the rest of us. But I DO claim to try and give it my best. I'll do this through the practice of being raw, honest and bold. I'll do this through taking risks and exploring outside my comfort zone. I'll do this by telling it like it is - especially on the not-so-good days - so as to not lead you astray to what my experiences are truly like. And as always, I'll do this by promising to myself and to you the gift of living fully.

I hope you'll come along with me for the ride! Because, you know, we always have our Happy Seed Home to come back to. A "home" that lives within our hearts and our minds eye; a home that is our truth. Remember, your instinctual truth can never be taken away from you. So, especially for you homebodies out there, why not come along for the ride when you always have "home" right in your heart? What have you got to lose?

Let's go!
