I’m glad to know it was such a good gathering (I knew it would be) and if you’re ever toward the Eastern edges of Pennsylvania my(our) humble little old home is always open to you. My love built a simple wooden bed for our friends, next to the cellar where we keep our naturally fermenting, living wine (stomped with our own feet and no chemicals ever), and even though he’s not (physically) here I know he’d love to share with you these four walls, the wine, and the best food I can rustle up from neighboring farms.

I’m roughly an hour and a half’s drive east-southeast of Harrisburg, if that helps? Happy to give more specific coordinates in a private message!

I would have loved to be there. I am crossing my fingers and hoping that you and your travel trailer will make it all the way over to Alberta or even Saskatchewan...maaaybe Manitoba lol!

Your writing is fabulous, would love to meet you. I believe we would never run out of things to discuss :)

Thank you for your kind words, Terra. Oh, I bet we could chat for a good long time. In all the time I've been with my husband, I have never shown him where I grew up. I think a trip to Manitoba would be so wonderful. I hope we make it.

I get that! I wish it could be everyone and it could be something over a longer time. I just think so many people here have so much in common and it's fortifying to be around people of the same ilk. I was so glad I got to meet so many wonderful people. 🌞

Oh wow, what a special time. I bet everyone’s cup is filled to overflowing.

I hope North Texas is on the itinerary! It would be such joy to see you and Troy again. And introduce you to my daughters, especially Evelyn, who shares a birthday with Mila.

Ugh...how utterly marvellous. It brings a tear to my eye that you all had the opportunity to meet and see the souls in each other. What a wonderful, magical, heart lifting things. Well done all of you. More of that please!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, Kim! I feel the same way. More of this! An antidote to the screens and nuttiness of our time. I felt so encouraged and hopeful after meeting these lovely humans. ❤️

How lovely, Tara! Thank you for sharing this with us. It looks like a truly ~radiant~ gathering😍

I know at least a handful of people here in south Louisiana that would really delight in spending some time with you if you make it down on your tour😬

When you said a farm outside of Asheville, I just knew it would be the Rhodes! We are in the process of attempting to find a home and relocate across country otherwise nothing would have stopped me from being there! I’m so so soooo happy it was such a beautiful event and so happy for you and your book! I check Amazon daily to see when mine is arriving. Congrats, Tara. I wish and hope that we can attend something along the way! ✨💕🤞🏼🙏

You know how to sweeten the honeypot, Mycah. That’s the kind of lure I find hard to resist. 🌞💕
