All Around Growth

“It was when I realized I needed to stop trying to be somebody else and be myself, I actually started to own, accept, and love what I had.”
That's a quote by Tracee Ellis Ross - Wikipedia

Hear me.

In order for you to own, accept, and love what you have...

...you need to stop trying to be somebody else – and be yourself!

That’s what we’re talking about today – being ourselves.

Not simply *being* ourselves...but owning, accepting, and *LOVING* ourselves.

Recent feedback from Ep. 104 – On Recovery really has me thinking...

...I’m going to share some of the questions that came to me as a result of that episode.

All these questions tie into the topic of the day...

• Be Yourself – Love Yourself

I share these with you because they are thought provoking questions that may serve you

While I won’t share the specific context in the way the question was framed...
...I’ll share the questions:

• Where are you getting challenged/fed/supported?
• Are you reading motivational books, listening to podcasts, and engaging in the community?

If you’re questioning something in your life...feeling uncertain

Ask yourself:

• What is it doing for you?
• What is it doing for others?
• What is your goal in doing it?

Furthermore...if you’re *EXTREMELY* uncertain of your path in life

I highly, highly encourage you to reach out and connect with someone...It may be a coach, a counselor, a mentor or a friend, but...sometimes we tend to do it all on our own, yet opening up a bit to have someone else help us potentially see our own blind spots can be a super awakening experience. - Ashley Logsdon - Mama Says Namaste, 48 Days Team

Once we begin to embrace who and what we are...we understand this:

• You are in the driver's seat.

Then...we can ask ourselves even bigger questions such as:

• Where do you want to drive next?

It’s hard to think about the big picture in life when we’re not happy with our life or ourselves.

Remember: It's not about the perfect map to forever.

Ask yourself:

“What is the next step?"

The next step can begin with something as simple as revisiting the questions outlined here.

Review them repeatedly

I assure you that if you put in the work, you will begin gaining some of the clarity that you seek

Faith enables us to know God as He knows Himself, although certainly not exhaustively. God knows Himself not only as the Creator, bur also as the Trinity and as the Author of grace; it is under these aspects that faith presents Him to us. By faith, we know creatures as He knows them, that is, in relation to Him and dependent upon Him. Our intellect can give us only natural light on God and creatures; faith, on the contrary, gives us the supernatural light that is a participation in the light of God, in the knowledge God has of Himself and of creatures.
- Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.
Join Rob as he discusses a topic that he's often been reluctant to discuss - his Christian faith.

Divine Intimacy - Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen OCD

This Book of Meditations is a classic and is steeped in Carmelite spirituality. For every day it offers two meditations, arranged according to the liturgical season (1962 Missal), that enable the soul to enter the conscious presence of God and to reflect on the theme of the day. These are followed by a Colloquy that helps the person at prayer to start a friendly conversation with God where acts of praise and love, petition and thanksgiving are made, together with good resolutions for the future. Here we are at the very heart of prayer, which is a heart-to-heart encounter in faith with the living God. Divine Intimacy is the highest state attainable on earth. In this union of love, the soul produces acts of love which have an immense apostolic influence on a multitude of souls. This knowledge of the ways that lead to God, according to the teaching of the renowned Spanish mystics, is distilled into the pages of this book.

In today’s episode of All Around Growth, we’re diving into the exciting details of our first property walk that took place last Friday, October 11, 2024. We’ll be receiving a full report soon and will use this data alongside consultations with other permaculture experts to shape the future of York Meadow Farm. For full access to the report and exclusive insights, Patreon subscribers will be the first to receive all the detailed information! Head over to Patreon to join.

Special shoutout to our amazing Patreon supporters—Sean, Rachel, Kyriaki, and Brian—your support means the world!

During the property walk, we learned about the three critical elements of property design: Water, Access, and Structures. In this episode, we discuss how these components will shape our homestead and how our original plans have shifted to focus on new priorities. From heavy equipment logistics to exciting new projects (starting as soon as this weekend!), we’ve got a lot to share about the next 18-24 months at the farm.

We’ll also touch on a heartwarming story from our local community: a convoy of over 50 trucks and trailers successfully delivered $150,000+ worth of hay, feed, and medical supplies to those in need in North Carolina, showcasing the power of God’s love and generous hearts in action.

It’s been a whirlwind, balancing our small business, homestead growth, and community involvement, but with faith and a solid mindset, anything is possible. Join us for this jam-packed episode, and thank you for being part of our journey!
