Welcome to Purpose. Joy. Journey.
Let me kick this off by telling you a little bit about who I am and why I started this site.
First and foremost, I am a Christ follower. God is the center of everything in my life, and I give Him all the praise! I wouldn’t be where I am today without Him! More on that later.
I am a 40-something-year-old wife to my favorite man (who suffers from severe injuries) and mom to four amazing kiddos! One of those four would be classified as neurodivergent, possibly falling into the labels of ADHD and High-Functioning Autism. As a homeschool mom trying to figure out how to help both my son and my husband, my research turned me from scrunchy (slightly crunchy) to full-fledged crunchy!
My education and previous work experience was the base I needed to understand the many studies I read and come to conclusions far different from what western medicine practitioners were telling me. It led me to professionals who use different approaches, and my interest in all things natural health exploded!
This created a desire in me to homestead. While we are currently what we call micro-homesteading, we are searching for our future home where we can establish a full homestead.
We’ve spent the past six years changing almost everything about our lives to improve our health. It has made a drastic difference! Friends kept encouraging me to share what I’ve learned with others, so I finally decided to jump in with both feet!
My goal of this blog is to focus on all things holistic health, from food to medicine to fitness to tools and more. I will also discuss homeschooling, family, and marriage topics, as well as sprinkling in homesteading from time to time. As is my life, everything in this blog will be rooted in Christ.
Basically this is me wrapped up into one site (minus my travel side, but we have a different website for that).
I hope to connect with many of you who are like-minded as well as those who are just starting to explore the world of holistic health. I pray we can grow together in our health as we also grow our faith in God!
Thank you for joining me on this journey!
