Brush Strokes ~

Life is my canvas and these are my brush strokes.

After a year long hiatus, I've decide to pick up my brush again. Over the past year, I have done much work organizing and prioritizing everything in my life. I've learned to love the sound of my feet walking away from things and people that no longer serve my higher good. Those people, places and things that still remain have been fiercely prioritized. There isn't much time left, ya know? I must get busy living. For me, that means focusing on people and things that make me happy, are life giving and were I find peace. 

I am a writer. I receive great healing from the brush strokes of Language Arts and will continue to paint them here. Ancient Path Homestead Blog was created two years ago. During it's inception, I was also authoring a book. I traveled down it's path for a year, even having it self published. My feet have walked away...…..I love that sound. <3

Self love has taught me that I can and should be choosy about what I pour my energies into. I'm the writer....the author of my own story. I choose to write about that which makes me happy and brings peace. I have taken a lot from the internet the past year, scouring blogs of beautiful people. As a blogger myself, I would often ask myself, "Why do we do it?" It wasn't until I could answer my own why, was I able to have peace picking up the brush again. 

I write here because I love writing. I'm a deep thinker....always have been.....and this is my space to fill the pages with my life. I am not writing here to become rich and famous. So, that should put your mind at ease. I am no threat to anyone else's success. lol. I hope there might be a few who get inspired by my writings, but it is not the intention. The intention is for me and my children.

The Intention for Ancient Path Homestead Blog

I have this nagging desire to document our lives. I'm not sure where this comes from, but deeply feel it should be done and I pay attention to nagging desires. 

We are in the dark, cold months of winter here. So, the first few months will mostly be about our homeschooling. I am homeschooling my twin six year old's using the Waldorf method. Please don't get hung up on methodology. I am a free spirit. I am guided by my intuition and never have a problem moving in and out of methods, institutions etc.   …...whatever we need to use to serve our higher selves is what we will always do. I am not attached to anything. 

We are new to homeschooling, but I have fallen in love with the Waldorf pedagogy. The twins are Kindergarteners this year and so far our experience has been ……. beautiful. (if I had to choose a word for it)

Becoming Human: June 17, 2019 Edit

What I love most about documenting our lives is the ability to go back and reread our story. In doing so the growth is clear. My favorite blog and life function is the little button with the words, "Edit". Because of my early life experiences, I have learned the power of change and will continue to harness that power by keeping our life with fluid like movements.

Over the last year, I have began my study of Anthroposophy. I am a highly intuitive person and this study feels like words begging put to things I instinctively already knew. Looking at the date of this original post, I can tell that my growth is very rapid now. I am becoming more focused and intentional about everything I do.

These are my brush strokes. I hope that you find Truth, beauty and peace in them. No feedback is necessary, because everyone is a critic. Creatives must be thick skinned. Luckily, I have such qualities. To the critics who can think of a "better way" … I challenge you to create your own.

With Abundance and Ease,

The Lord is my Shepard: July 10, 2026 Edit

Again, I love the, "edit," feature of blogging. Growth is tricky when you become an adult because it is on the inside where the growth happens. The only way others know you are growing is by the fruit your life is producing, not by physical appearance. 

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 KJV

[16] For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; [18] while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

But, I do love going back and reading the thoughts I was having because I am able to see the amount of growth in myself. & I can say that in 2026 the intention of this blog is still to track and document our growth, but most importantly to bring honor to our Lord Jesus Christ. ✝

In Christ, Daughter of the Most High,
