Summary
When do you finally get to call yourself a homesteader, quilter, baker, or anything else you're working to become? After looking back through eight weeks of my Transformation Journal, I realized I had a whole lot of evidence that my life is changing. I've harvested and preserved food and herbs, finished my first quilt top, cooked more from scratch, milked a friend's goats, navigated some stressful real estate closings, watched my daughter reach some pretty exciting milestones, and learned a whole lot about myself along the way. In this episode, I'm sharing the little wins, tender mercies, hard moments, and ordinary experiences that reminded me of something important: transformation is easy to miss when you're busy living it.
