I am no farmer, but I needed words on hope today, and your courageous and vulnerable piece to share where you are vs where you thought you’d be, it so helpful, thank you! I loved each scripture you shared, and how it’s time to look through a new lens on some different topics for you. Me too.
RUTH! This is so good. I related so deeply to the uncertainty of the future. My husband’s business really struggled the last few years and we’re not out of the woods yet. Your wild hope is contagious. Thank you for sharing it.
“But I trust the dreaming was worth it. However this ends, we will make something of it.” Cheers to making something of it. Loved all these words. Thank you for sharing so honestly ❤️
"Wild, contagious hope." Yes. Thank you so much for sharing this part of your story, Ruth. And those metallic zinnias!!! I've never heard of such a thing but wow.
Friend, wow, this was beautiful and honest and the kind of writing that just gets to the real stuff. Thank you for sharing this. The sunset zinnias... gosh, what an image to finish on.
Thank you for sharing these poignant words on what hope means to you. I got chills reading the transition between 5 and 6. Hope IS transformative.
(It's also my oldest daughter's middle name, after the town my husband and I got married in ❤️.)
Thanks so much for reading! I love your connection to the word! ❤️ Hope is such a great middle name 😉

I no longer expect we’ll reach the vision those renderings promise.
But I trust the dreaming was worth it. However this ends, we will make something of it.
Hope is generative.
Love these words, friend! This is relatable to many things in my life, too, even if the circumstances are different.
This is so beautiful, Ruth. Thank you for sharing your heart with such courageous vulnerability♥️
