Hi Sarah, I’ve been following your journey since day one and your most recent health issues have me thinking that I am paralleling you. Mind body spirit
Mine has been taking a beating this past year. Last Oct I had diverticulitis resulting in a colostomy. Reversal surgery that went sideways resulting in an ileostomy. I will soon have surgery to reverse that as well. In the meantime in Feb my daughter tried to harm herself after suffering for three years with a narcissist husband who filed for divorce while she was in a mental hospital. In April my brother died and then last month my father passed away. All while unable to fly (Dad lives in SC, daughter in CO and brother in KY) because of my health. The reason I am telling you all this is because I wish I had your strength to focus on me and have good nutrition and work to build strength back physically. I am struggling mightily and would love some tips maybe? On nutrition minerals supplements a way to build back mentally. Ugh it is so hard. I really admire your strength and courage and your willingness to share your struggles. I am so happy to read that you are feeling better. Good luck to you and I can’t wait to hear what your new project might be. Thank you for your inspiration.
Beverlee let's just call it like it is--this is A LOT. Firstly, I am so terribly sorry for your losses. You must be grieving them so badly. Your daughter is in my thoughts and I hope she's in a better place now than earlier this year. And as for your health...what a rollercoaster you've been on. Those are some big surgeries and I'm hoping this next one goes well for you. My email is bergsteinsarah@gmail.com and if you'd like to, reach out and we can talk and see if there's a way I might be able to assist/guide you through these next steps. Just like I believe in my body to heal, I believe the very same for you, and I do wish for you that things begin to look up. Sending you love and well wishes.
And I am looking forward to the ride! The way you can write your thoughts is a breath of fresh air. You sound so happy with life! As your doctor said, “keep doing what you’re doing”. 🫶🏼
Gosh, there's been a real shift this year in my soul and in my being. I'll talk more about it as I'm finding the words to even describe it. I just know now that things really can and do change for the better...that our mindset can and does change when we practice focusing on the good in our lives. I'll pull on this thread lots more in the weeks to come. As always, thanks for joining me, my friend!
Such a profound note this week, Sarah. I’m struck with your journey from “what should this farm be?” to reveling in the farm “simply being” beautiful and worthy and enough as is. Similar to your internal journey these past few months. Lovely post that truly resonates.
Ooo thank you for writing this...it gave me a little shift in perspective to read that back from you. It's interesting to me that you used "Simply being" as "Simply Being Present" is the title of David's book. His teachings and wisdom really stick with me and it definitely feels like they're sinking in.
I had a big exhale reading this post. When you shared last time about your full time work coming to an end, I thought “I hope she gives herself a break before launching into the next big thing!” I’m so glad that you heard the message of the farm that you can just *be* there and let the answers come to you instead of chasing after them. Enjoy this time of resetting. You earned it.

Such an eloquent, resonant post; such salient, perceptive comments. I can't think of a thing to add, so: "what you all said".
