A Brush with Disaster
Send us a textThis week, we’re diving into a tale of chaos, resilience, and gratitude. First, I’ll share a reading of my latest blog post, fresh from the pages of my life on the farm unravelling a dramatic scene I witnessed at my Amish neighbors’ place. A moment that could’ve ended in disaster, but instead revealed their unshakable strength. I’ll tie it to the life-changing wisdom of the book, The Gap and The Gain, sharing how that guide helped me transform my grief over the loss of my father to a new era of writing and joy.
