A good friend said to me before this undertaking “You will wake in the morning, work hard & farm, bake, eat, breathe, and no one will be judging you. You don’t need to impress, you will be treated like everyone else there who will be new to it. Breathe every hour, talk soft, relax your mind and enjoy the gift you are giving yourself.” I stood in the peach orchard, half listening to the buzz of the farm, half listening to my own heartbeat. I have not even begun to fully absorb what I have learned, but recognizing I am changed seems to be a sufficient start.
