Where is Spring?

I’m patiently waiting for the real spring to arrive. Honestly, I’m not that patient. I love the smell of the wet earth after a good soaking rain. I love the way the grass is turning greener every day. The buds are just popping on the trees here.

This year has also been a huge season of change for me. Almost a year ago I was in such a funk and my mental health had really started to plummet. I had finally decompressed from all the trauma I had been through and it had hit me in the face. I needed a break.

In a very uncharacteristic fashion, I gave my notice at a job that I was really starting to feel comfortable in, though I disliked working in an office. The closed in feeling was suffocating to this hick, farm girl. My daughters were worried that I had gone off the deep end and I probably did. I decided to take 2 months off before searching for a job. Time to heal, clean up the house of all the clutter left behind, and time to breathe peacefully. I’d look for a job when it was right for me. Was I worried about money? Not really. My bills had been paid 2 months in advance and I’ve always been careful with money. I also knew that God was holding me and creating these moments in my life to bring me out of such darkness.

My girls were worried enough that they were sending me all sorts of job listings. Daily. I finally had to ask them to stop. I told them that God was going to drop the perfect job for me right in my lap. It will be something I love to do and it will be just enough money to take care of my home. Wow, does God ever provide!

From starting a job that I absolutely love, to starting a small business that I can dream big with, my life has changed in a year. It feels different. Lighter and safer. Momma G’s helps give me a sense of purpose to help people and keeps me in the kitchen. I’m always creating new blends and trying new ideas of butters or salves. Even if they don’t work out, it’s ok.

I have quite a few vendor events this summer and love meeting new people. If you see my Momma G’s sign stop on by and say hi! Happy April and think spring!
