The husband and i both tried to be grown ups we thought we had to be.<br /><br />Now I've embraced the steampunk house style I have, the odd art work, the teal hair, the need to bake elaborate things, the constant rearranging. It makes me happier!Amanda @geekdetailshttp://www.geekdetails.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822567602957274526.post-31460600464383218752010-09-08T09:12:13.453-04:002010-09-08T09:12:13.453-04:00Kalee, you are so wise to listen to your authentic...Kalee, you are so wise to listen to your authentic voice. I've gone from the city to farm life and there are lots of things about it that I'm rethinking. I've stopped doing a lot of the work as my husband enjoys it (it's really his hobby; he doesn't make a living doing it). I do enjoy having the fresh produce in the summer and a freezer full of good, healthy food for the winter. However, I've decided that I would be just as happy if we purchased from a farmers' market. <br /><br />Finding authenticity is a journey and you often hear and follow voices not your own. Keep evaluating what works for you and don't worry about what others think.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661705838389866476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822567602957274526.post-49230947449349476692010-09-08T07:25:57.563-04:002010-09-08T07:25:57.563-04:00Thank you for this very honest post.

It's always been there but covered up under a lot of outside influences. When the layers come off, there you are.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289348366926684135noreply@blogger.com
