Your yard reminds me of ours- Takes so much work, time and money- a slow process, but the vision is there. I have friends that live in the city and have gorgeous raised bed gardens- huh, easy for them to say they love to garden- they have no clue!!! Thanks for your honesty and sharing with us. I have a lot of catching up to do! Stumbled onto your blog today-through Pinterest- The Natural PLayscapes caught my eye.

Just what I was looking for. I had a look through the videos you refer to. Not the clearest. Did you sew your bag by hand? Thanks for this! Just what I was looking for.

I've only been able to go back and read a few of the most recent entries, but your voice (and tone and carefully chosen curse words:) sounded so perfect to speak to me. I'll try to get through a few more before you shut it down, but for however brief a time I've had 'with' you, I truly enjoyed your words. And I have been DYING for some pink hair for years and you may have helped me decide to go for it! In life and light and love and laughter, I wish you ALL the best. ~Stephanie *sniff* I just found you last week…:/

I loved reading your blog as so often you'd express what is in my mind and heart but I'm having trouble expressing it in words (and lack of time as well!). I do not have a Facebook account to keep in touch with you (I feel that Facebook would also be total waste of my precious time if I ever get an account so I'd rather not) but I'll look for your posts on the Get Born community. And feel free to email me any time, especially if you ever decide to visit my part of the world :) Thank you so much for your time and inspiration you have provided me these last couple of years. I learned a lot from you and your words would often comfort me when I needed support and felt lost. You're the best so I wish you only the best in your life; may you find the inner peace you're looking for... I’ll miss you lots Jen :(

I struggle with trying to decide what stays and what goes every day.You are doing what you feel is best for you, and that's what matters. Besides, if you find that you miss the creative outlet, then you can always add it back to your schedule and drop something else. It's all a matter of balance. Besides, I'm a gardening diva like you are, and this time of year, we KNOW where we will be spending alot of our time! Enjoy your time~ Blessings from South Dakota~ It is hard to fit everything in.

I am happy for you that you are taking care of yourself, and letting something go to make more space. I hope you find more and more space in your life, as you let more and more things go that don't feed your soul. I have loved reading your blog, and will miss it! Enjoy your time with your children, and in that garden. And please remember to keep being gentle with yourself! Much love to you from way out here on the Maine coast... Good for you Jen!
