 OUR DREAM: SEASONS OF LIFE

For years, we have carried a dream of creating a place where people can slow down, reconnect, and simply enjoy life together.

That dream is Seasons of Life Retreat.

We envision a peaceful destination surrounded by nature where families grow closer, friendships are formed, memories are made, animals are given second chances, and people from all walks of life feel welcome.

Someday, we hope Seasons of Life will be filled with gardens, trails, outdoor movie nights, bonfires, weekend markets, community gatherings, events, places to stay, and experiences that bring people together.

A place to Heal • Unite • Grow.

But big dreams have to begin somewhere.

OUR FIRST STEP: SEASONS OF LIFE INN

Before we build the full Seasons of Life Retreat, our plan is to begin with something smaller—and much more achievable.

We are searching for an affordable, character-filled building that we can purchase and slowly transform into Seasons of Life Inn.

The Inn will give us an opportunity to begin bringing the Seasons of Life vision to life now rather than waiting until we can purchase the larger retreat property.

We envision cozy guest rooms, beautiful gardens, gathering spaces, a game room filled with consoles for families to enjoy, a small shop, workshops, cooking nights, outdoor activities, seasonal events, bonfires, and other experiences designed to bring people together.

As the Inn grows, so will Seasons of Life.

Our hope is that the income, experience, community, and following created through Seasons of Life Inn will eventually help us take the next giant step—purchasing the land that will become Seasons of Life Retreat.

The Inn isn't replacing our dream, it is an extention of it. 

It's how we're beginning it.

FOLLOW THE JOURNEY FROM THE BEGINNING

We don't have the Inn yet.

We don't have the Retreat yet.

And that's exactly why we're inviting you along now.

Become a founder!! Join the journey, be part of a legacy in the making!!

You'll get to watch us search for the right building, save money, build our businesses, plan the Inn, hopefully purchase our first property, renovate it, plant the first gardens, welcome our first guests—and someday, take the journey from Seasons of Life Inn to Seasons of Life Retreat.

We want to document the whole story on our youtube: Seasons of life

The successes.

The mistakes.

The before-and-afters.

And all those little moments between...

"Wouldn't it be amazing if..."

and

"We actually did it."

Someday, when you're walking through the gardens at Seasons of Life, we hope some of you will be able to say:

"I've been watching this dream grow since the beginning."

And

"LOOK, there is my name! I was a founder of seasons of life Retreat and INN!"

No purchase is necessary. We simply want to share the dream.

If our vision speaks to you, we'd love for you to follow our journey, share it with someone who might love it too, visit our shop, watch our videos, or support the project as it grows.

Every view, share, purchase, donation, and word of encouragement helps us move another little step forward.

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

One building.

One garden.

One community.

One step at a time.

Do you have Family Meetings with your kids? Here is why you should!

Why Family Meetings Have Been a Lifesaver for Me and My Kids

I’ve learned over the years that one of the best ways to keep my family connected is by holding regular family meetings. Now, before you picture a big conference table and a long agenda, let me tell you—it’s nothing like that. For us, family meetings are usually just gathering in the living room or around the kitchen table.

I call a meeting when I know something big is coming up—like a move, a new job, or even something fun like a vacation. Sometimes it’s just because chores aren’t getting done and I’d rather talk about it all together instead of repeating myself ten times.

But honestly, I leaned on family meetings the most when I was going through my divorce. That was such a hard season for all of us. I didn’t want my kids to feel like they were in the dark or that their voices didn’t matter. So, we sat down together more often, and I made sure each of them got the chance to talk and share how they were feeling—with no judgment.

And you know what? Those meetings brought us closer.

What Happens in Our Family Meetings

Here’s how we usually do it:

• Everyone gets a turn to talk.

• No interrupting and no making fun of what someone shares.

• We try to end with a plan—or even better, something positive.

Sometimes the meetings are quick, and other times the conversations go deeper. But no matter what, my kids know it’s their safe space to be honest.

Why I Believe They Work

• They help my kids feel heard. Even if I don’t always agree, they know I’m listening.

• They build respect. We practice listening to each other without judgment.

• They keep us connected. Life can get so busy, but these meetings pull us back together.

• They provide stability. Especially during my divorce, my kids needed that regular check-in time to feel secure.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve never tried a family meeting, I encourage you to. It doesn’t have to be fancy—just pick a time, gather together, and let everyone share what’s on their hearts.

For us, these little meetings have become more than just “talking things out.” They’ve been a way to teach my kids that their voice matters, that we’re a team, and that no matter what life throws our way, we face it together.
