This or something better
Of all the things that you’ve designed, I really love our life. The perfect dose of perfection. The slightest touch of chaos.
Thanks for listening ☝️👂🤞

Would you shoot me straight
If I ask you something personal
I promise it’s nothing heavy
Before I knew your name
I used try to guess it underneath
My breath when you’d be walking by
I never got it right
You said hi to me first call me
Carolina I’ve seen you here before
Thanks for opening the door
Fast forward two good years
Been the best that I’ve lived
Got a house got a dog and our very first kid
Back to the question
Did you think it would be this?
Or something better? I’ll admit
I’m not that clever no no no
Better than better than
Better than I could ever dream
If you could only see what I’ve seen
You’d know just what I mean
Better than better than
Better than I could ever dream
If you could only see what I’ve seen
You’d know just what I mean
Well I’m just here to give
No I don’t really need to take
I get enough from the love
That you radiate
It’s a gift that you bring
Of all the things
That you designed
I really love our life
The perfect dose of perfection
The slightest touch of chaos
The subtleties of subtle things
For hearing my soliloquies
I’ve written more than poetry
You are the muse of desire
Back to the question
Did you think it would be this?
Or something better? I’ll admit
I’m not that clever no no no
Better than better than
Better than I could ever dream
If you could only see what I’ve seen
You’d know just what I mean
Better than better than
Better than I could ever dream
If you could only see what I’ve seen
You’d know just what I mean
Finding a rhythm again here back on the farm. It’s raining every day which gives us a chance to slow down after what felt like a season stretching me to the max of busy- ness. My mind still wants to run.
Since starting the 75 hard challenge, I had to face how much I run to my phone for distractions. Sometimes in the name of productivity it’s listening to a podcast or audio book while I’m working or hiking, or watching YouTube videos as a “break.”
I’ve noticed a significant boost to my internal well being while taking this break from it.
Instead of filling my head with more content, my mind actually has time to think about what’s important, listen to the nature, be with the people around me. It’s nice and has also been a relief to anxiety.
Caro, Benjo and I have been doing our morning hikes and spending the afternoons together in the temple.. just playing, sometimes music, stretching, trying to put puzzles together while Benjo destroys them.
The 75 hard challenge kind of represents the way I just like to live my life. I’m grateful for my friends that created the group and invited me to join, it’s been wonderful to get back to the routines.
At the farm we’ve been adding compost to all of our trees and beds, topping them off with cacao shells that I’ve been saving over the last 4 years of making chocolate.
It turned out to be amazing idea, now anywhere on the farm you’ll catch a blast of chocolate with the breeze.
Life here can be pretty sweet.
A rainbow reminder is always such a delicious gift.
