Hello again Beauty-Fulls ~ Blissings & Blessings!
This afternoon I invite you to take a trip back in time with me...to the year 2014.
Alot had changed for me and my family that year. We finally achieved our dream of getting a humble little home and piece of land in Maine, which is no small triumph for us. It took many years and everything we had within ourselves and help from those closest to us in order to make it happen.
It may not seem like a big leap to many, but moving from Massachusetts to Maine is a big shift, I kid you not. It's not like we were moving closer to friends or family...we didn't know a Soul in the area. I personally had only visited the state a few times in my life prior to moving here. I had never set foot in Fryeburg or driven through the area for that matter (although I have spent quite a bit of time in New Hampshire over the years growing up, for whatever that's worth lol).

It didn't take long to realize just how much work I had in front of me...
but I accepted the challenge...all in, heart & soul.
Now that Fall was setting in I could really get going with my "pet project."
Each tiny bit I would accomplish was electrifying and propelled me to keep going...
I was yet to be made aware of just how much time, effort, blood, sweat & tears would be required to see this through. The challenges waiting in the wind in some instances would seem insurmountable.
Needless to say, I haven't always been able to maintain this smile in every moment during the journey...however, it always returns after whatever pain arises has been processed ;)
I will get more into that later today in part 2....
Thank you for passing through @thereikiforest, viewing my post & sharing some of your time with me
