If you’ve had your eye on one of Gadanke’s inspiring She journals, today is your day for love. These two writing prompt journals just received fresh, new color palates.

When the Christmas season came to an end and Martin and I returned to the tire house, we were ready to move. The little flame that has been burning inside us burst into something so large, something so uncontainable. All of our being is pouring into the creation of our home. We’re addicted to the idea of a warm space of our own. In fact, it’s so consuming that I almost forget to pause and write to you about the decisions that we are making (or anything else, for that matter!).

My jumbo project this week? Grant writing.
As it turns out, writing grant applications (for the geothermal heating system at the hangar) is not nearly so fun as journal prompt writing. Drats.

Hello friend!
I have a new friend to introduce you to. Kelley is the former editor of the Hungry Horse News – a newspaper near Glacier National Park. She’s here to talk about eating local food, and it’s really awesome to hear her story because DANG! She lives in Montana (northern United States in the Rocky Mountains). It can snow during the 4th of July there, so there’s not exactly much of a growing season. But she’s figured out how to eat locally anyway; it’s a huge inspiration for what we can all be doing. This fall, she’ll be at Montana State University to study sustainable crop production.
