Not A Destination –Happiness Comes With Progress
We talked about doing a Corn Maze. We drew it out, put it on vision boards, did the time machine activity (an activity that is done in my life coaching curriculum), meditated on it, and described it in detail to each other many times. You could say we had the intention of doing a corn…

WHEN WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DREAM
There’s just something about the turning of a new year that reminds us time is slipping away — another year gone; but still a new year awaits. We usually have something poking at us to set new goals, whether we choose to listen to it or not. Sometimes it feels easier to just say, “I’m…

How Do I…?
Where there’s a will there’s a way, so it’s been said. Is that always true? Yes, but our will must be strong enough, (or have enough energy), to get us past patterns and paradigms that stand in the way of our goals. It is important to not only know what you want, but to know…

Break Free and Love Your Life
Have you ever felt like giving up? Have you ever felt like you are fed up with this life and that if you were gone, it wouldn’t matter anyways — that people would probably be better off without you here? Well, that’s a lie. We don’t usually like to admit it, but a lot of…

I’m Okay With Being Me
They say religion divides people. If it was religion, then we could say ethnicity, political preference, gender, career – i.e. being an athlete, a writer, a grocery store clerk…a “whatever your identity“…divides people. I know there are some religions that speak out against other religions. I’ve never been a fan of that. You can say…

Life On The Farm – How Did I Get So Lucky?
We are here. I am in our little camper sitting on the farm and living the dream. Nothing glamorous. The steps we take on our journey to our “big dreams” rarely are very glamorous. They are simply steps. But let me tell you, I am really enjoying this non-glamorous adventure. Some days I wonder how…

Trust vs Faith – Sure Could Use a Little Good News Today
A little good news would be nice. We have been hearing the bad news. Even if we don’t watch the news, pretty much everywhere we turn we hear something bad is happening. In times like this, faith or trust is required to have peace and happiness. Faith or Trust in something–some leader, some turn of…

You Want To Be Happy Again?
We all get in ruts. Life happens. Sometimes we even pitch a tent there for far too long. There are times we feel like the world is closing in and that we are very limited. Other times we might feel like we could conquer the world. When we find ourselves in a rut, how do…

Testing Our Dream of a Corn Maze – Our Crossroad
They say it’s the journey, not the destination, that really counts. I agree, but there is also some satisfaction in actually arriving at your destination, right? We’ve been dreaming of having a corn maze (or some type of business on the farm where people can come enjoy it) for many years. We started adding it…

Difficult Days Can Make Us Stronger
Do you sometimes feel lost with no ambition? Some days we look at the condition of the world, or challenging circumstances surrounding us, and we feel small and defeated. In the book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell explains that our lives are similar to many popular old stories. In order to become…
