I loved getting to know you better through this post! Thank you for your depth and honesty, Bailey. I also read your other post about not having children and the desire to reproduce the gospel in your own life. I appreciated that one also - being a woman who has never desired motherhood but became one unexpectedly. Appreciate you opening the dialogue for the "road less travelled".

Thank you so much for this, Heidi! It means a lot. I hope these pieces help women of all kinds see and understand one another better. 💛

What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. I live near Folsom Lake and I had no idea there was a lupine super bloom! I’ll have to check it out!

Oh nice! It’s a small world, isn’t it? And yes, keep an eye on the weather patterns this spring. The super blooms totally depend on how much water we get leading up to spring. I hope you get to see the magic ☺️

this is beautifully encouraging, Bailey! i so often appreciate the way you write about simple experiences as a means to be more embodied, perhaps especially in times of loneliness or struggle. sharing in your joys today, and hoping for the kindest and softest landing spaces as you carry forward! the drift of lupine is absolutely stunning!
