## Resource

From Desperation to Thanksgiving: All That Talk of Harvests Isn’t Just Poetry In this week’s episode, Kim reflects on what it means to move from desperation into gratitude—through fence lines, fallen seasons, and the lessons of the herd. From the haunted stillness of a fallow field to the calm after a lost horse is found, this piece traces how forwardness doesn’t come from pushing harder, but from learning when to pause and listen. Recorded from Bramblewood Stables at Lavender Hill, From Desperation to Thanksgiving weaves together themes of lineage, land, and the long work of repair—reminding us that the harvest we speak of every autumn is not a metaphor, but a daily act of faith. If you’d like to help Kim and the Bramblewood herd through the coming winter as they mend fences and continue rebuilding their new home, you can lend a hand at Save Bramblewood . — Written and read by Kim Carter, founder of Bramblewood Stables and author of Stable Roots .
