My name is Grace. I live in Asheville, North Carolina. I have two daughters. I'm passionate about so many things. I mostly involve myself with gardening and farming, yoga, ancient wisdom traditions, connecting with new and old friends, traveling to new places, reading, and seeing live music (I love the band Phish). I'm currently starting a new chapter in life. A marriage of 17 years ended. I'm building a school that focuses on farming and regenerative agriculture. Nature is our teacher, I'm simply the guide. I see food as medicine. I view soil as a way we can heal the Earth. Children need to learn and know these messages. I do not subscribe to the mainstream American programming. I know what works for me, my body, and my family. I always return to the Earth for answers I'm seeking. Thanks for starting this "get to know you" conversation. I love what you are doing on Substack. Excited to follow you along your journey.
Hi Grace! Wow, thanks for the wonderful comment and for sharing a bit about you.
It’s super interesting to hear your approach to gardening as a source of connection, understanding and healing. After one season with my own small garden, I can definitely relate. (Making compost for the first time this year has been a fascinating experience in ways I had never thought much about before; I think I’ll write about that soon). I love that you’re setting up a school to teach others about regenerative agriculture. Do you have any info about this online yet? I’d love to read more about it.
It’s wonderful to have you here Grace, and I’m looking forward to cheering you on in this new chapter in your life.
Reading your introduction, it is really refreshing to know that some people are out there trying different things, on a true endeavor towards happiness and not comfort. I too struggle with the sense of career and purpose in life and also with the overall meaning of true financial independence associated to what we end up pursuing. A great couple of questions that I ask myself are: if money didn't exist, would my job exist? If money wasn't a necessity, would I be doing this job?
My name is Miguel, I'm from Portugal and I'm passionate about life and its immense array of possibilities.
Miguel, thanks so much for sharing! And for your kind words.
The questions of what you would choose do to if money wasn’t an issue are definitely interesting. If I were to ask you that question now, would you have an answer?
I'm still trying to figure that out to be honest with you, but for the first time in my life I'm doing a conscious effort about it. I'm creating and dedicating time to projects on the sideline, not just aimlessly cruising through work on a daily basis, which was slowly "killing me".

Once I have my website up and running, I'll share it:) School is scheduled to open in August 2024.

That’s awesome Miguel, so good to hear that you’ve recognized that and are exploring. I’m super curious to hear where your journey will take you.
