Welcome to Cedar Brook Farm! It’s a rainy Sunday here and no one wanted to go out in the gloomy weather, but since I had to come out here to feed you, you have to come out to eat. Funny thing is, I’d feed them in the barn, but they can’t figure out how to eat in there. They are conditioned to hear the chain rattle when we open the gate, come out of the barn or wherever they may be grazing in a field, and go stand at their spot on the fence and wait for their food. Even in the worst weather conditions, even when alternative accommodations are offered, they go to their spot and wait to eat. Sometimes humans are just as set in our ways, even when it is to our own detriment. Breaking the cycle of a behavior can be hard, but it can also be necessary to obtain our goals and better our lives.

Since my last post, our lives have changed immeasurably. We inherited the family farm and the care of my late mother-in-law’s horses. We’ve been fixing up the farm property and envisioning what it could be in the future, and, of course, we’ve been adjusting to life with an extremely active little boy. So while this page started as a leaping point for my writing and life coaching, it is morphing into where we currently are in our lives to fit my needs and those of my family. I hope you’ll join us for this new journey that will more than likely still include a little of the old.
