Namaste

From humble beginnings, we’ve walked a path shaped by resilience, creativity, and a desire to serve. Raising a family while navigating physical limitations and challenges like low vision, anxiety, depression, and military-related PTSD taught us the strength of compassion, patience, and persistence. For many years, the hardest part of being “different” wasn’t just living with those challenges, but facing a world that often lacked understanding or acceptance.

 

As our children grew and left home, new space opened in our lives — space to reconnect with ourselves, with each other, and with the deeper callings of our spirit. In that process, we discovered something powerful: that true wealth isn’t measured by income, but by purpose, joy, and the ability to give back. We chose to earn less if it meant doing what we love — creating, teaching, and building communities rooted in authenticity and love.

 

This website is the heart of that vision: a place where our stories, recipes, writings, and spiritual practices come together. It’s a living archive of the lessons we’ve learned, the wisdom we’ve gathered, and the joy we find in blending flavor, spirit, and creativity.

​

Looking ahead, our dream is to one day create a wellness retreat center and farm — a space for healing, growth, and connection with the land. We envision it as a co-operative effort, where others who share this vision can join in community, learning, and service. Until then, this site is where the seeds are planted, growing into something larger with each step.

Our hope is simple: that the work you find here nourishes you — body, mind, and soul — and inspires you to embrace your own journey fully.
