I have a farm in my dreams. It’s been there for years, and I can describe to you every detail … walking from the house, through the garage, then the farm’s workshop, and on to the barn. Oh – that whole trip is all connected, by the way! I can go from “the house to the horses” without ever going outside! That’s awesome in the winter. Or when it’s raining. Or it’s dark out. It’s just cool. Period.
The landscape is gorgeous, over 100 acres – slightly rolling hills, woods, and a lovely lake. There are pastures for the horses, and fields that grow our hay. A third of the acreage, woven throughout the property, is working farmland maintained by a variety of farmer friends who are committed to a strong local food community.
Small wind turbines dot the farm and generate all the electricity that we need! The solar panels on the century barn help too. I’m delighted to be so sustainable and independent in the energy department!
Nature, my family, animals, and food are all huge parts of what makes Weatherwood Farm so special. Even the name is special because my dad – who was an artist – had a studio and gallery called “Weatherwood” and I loved it so much, that I adopted the name for the farm. I think Dad would be happy. There are 6 houses located in different areas of the property surrounding the farming acres, owned by families who love the lifestyle, green space, and volunteering with the farmers.
I work with rescue groups as a foster volunteer. Raising a litter or two each year is one of my most cherished projects. There are also some senior animals that retire to the farm with me. I have a special affinity for the seniors – cats, dogs, and horses. Although it’s difficult to say goodbye to them when it’s their time to leave – I absorb so much from their unique serenity and wisdom, that I am learning how to grow older with grace and dignity. What a peaceful partnership.
Now, I have to confess. Like I said at the beginning … Weatherwood Farm is in my dreams. That means my imagination is gloriously living on the land, in the house, helping with some of the farming, playing with the animals and my family – 24/7. It’s all in full, technicolor and rich detail. That’s key to know, because, I’m a firm believer that what I think about will manifest in physical reality. I’ve learned through years of study how to connect The Universe and Creative Mind with my subconscious to put all the players together to orchestrate the opportunities that bring my dreams to life. When it does, you’ll be the first one I invite over. Hope you’ll come!
What fantastic future exists in YOUR dreams? Can you picture it in detail? Are you open to creating YOUR own dream come true? It’s possible.
Enjoy your journey,
Deb
