Hi. Just a brief pop-in. I've been delightfully busy and have much to write about. I've been full of hope and joy and gratitude.

Julia is partially responsible for my newfound peace. I love working for her. We work hard, but it's good hard.

Many of my updates have to do with her kitchen, the cooking, and the serving. I swear I never in a million years thought I'd be serving at catered events and l-o-v-I-n-g it. I guess because I enjoy entertaining, graciousness, and civility in my own home, I extend those gifts at events hosted by others. I'm a natural.

Below are a few pics of my workplace - I will take more. It's simply heavenly. Julia lives on The Farm in Sewanee, the town adjacent to Monteagle where I live. It's not a commune, but is a small community with freestanding homes and a communal mindset: Gardens and sheep (probably other livestock) and solar power and shared appliances (washer/dryer). The people are amazing. I consider them flower children that grew into amazing flower adults. The energy is intoxicating. It's a gentle destination with gentle people. I'm so very lucky. So very lucky. I have finallyfinallyfinally found my bliss.
