Always love reading about your adventures at home that are so different than mine! ❤️ I started a book club and so far we’ve read Shark Heart and The Great Alone. Both very different fiction, but enjoyed them both! The Great Alone was tough but also hard to put down.
"It’s how we choose to see them." YES. Loved this piece, Stacy. How cool that you're putting together another conference. You have a lot of experience planning big events!
“An “adventure” on the farm could mean many things, but usually, it means he needs my help.” 100% true 😂
A wonderful piece. Looking forward to listening to your podcast interview. Also, there is something therapeutic about writing in a notebook…pages just begging to be filled. The joy of using a good pen or pencil to do it is underrated.
“Maybe that’s what marriage is—saying yes to adventures big and small, exciting and mundane.
It’s how we choose to see them.” Love this, so true!
I’m also a huge fan of starting my writing in my journal! I actually feel like I can’t start without it. The blank screen of the computer almost always feels too intimidating if I don’t have the idea of where I’m coming from, which I’ve worked out (at least a little) by hand. I use gel ink pens.
Also in a bit of reading slump era, and there doesn’t seem to be any balance between reading and trying to write, maybe it’s ok to have rhythm of one more than the other in seasons. I love writing on paper and doing more of that since my computer went down. Anything that makes it online is one finger tap at a time on my phone!🥴
My goodness. My brain exploded when you said that to get to town is a 13 hour walk. How long does it take to drive??
Writing by hand is so much better! There is too much pressure with a Google doc. But on the page words tumble out and it doesn't matter because no one will see them. I recently read I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy, Yellowface by Rebecca F Kuang, and Leaving Blackwood by Khaiah Thomson. I smashed through all of them in a day each after a looooong reading slump and getting bored of books halfway through (which never happens).

Beautiful! So enjoyed your perspectives on travel and adventure and marriage and just all of it. Also, I’m 100% here for all the calving content.

So many twins calves!! Wow. It makes me sad that the moms can’t feed both. Nature, man. It’s rough out there.
Have you read anything by Katherine Center? Her newest book Hello Stranger is my FAVE, but I also love The Bodyguard and Happiness for Beginners.
Love those last two lines of your essay 🥰✨ I'm loving the Thursday murder club series! So fun and so witty!
Such an enjoyable read!

“It’s how we choose to see them.” Love that 💛 and, yes to writing with mechanical pencils forever and always.

Fellow non-swiftie who also uses the term "eras". Please report back if this is a phrase we are not supposed to use, lol.
