Your reasons for moving resonate with me. In the last few years I've seen my wee town in Scotland expand at a frightening rate. New houses, chain supermarkets and a certain tax-avoiding coffee company (will let you guess which) built on wild land...it's no longer the quiet, Scottish town I grew up in :(
Humanity has lost all sanity in the continual need to consume and destroy without end. The earth is to be honored and nurtured just as it nurtures us. Oh The Way of the Rose is a book I have read and reread! The rosary and devotion to our great mother is what has saved my own sanity and has gotten me through the hard times. It is the best meditation method for me and never fails to calm my racing mind. Good luck on your move, Daisy Anne! I look forward to the bits you share with us about your new adventures in Maine!
I’m so excited to hear you’ve read it too! I plan on buying my own rosary soon and joining in. I’m sure prayer will help my anxiety a lot. Thank you Patricia -- I’ll be sure to share things about my new home! And I have no doubt that I will find the scenery inspiring for my stories too 😄
Many cars and trucks heading east on the HWY, from western states...in speaking to one man he stated exactly the same reasons why he was moving from Colorado. I will miss Colorado, but the green and clean of Maine makes me feel peaceful.
Love this! I'm currently in a move right now too! It's hard to write during this time, so I applaud your efforts on keeping up your newsletter. My fiancé and I are moving out of Nevada for the exact same reasons. There's too many people in this once green valley that's been taxed to barrenness by overpopulation, not to mention the very air feels poisonous with the pollution and cell phone towers. We're moving out to Arkansas to raise our children and practice regenerative farming.
It’s awful what’s being done to the American West. Pretty soon, people won’t even be able to live here anymore with all the droughts and wildfires. And then where will they go? It’s good we are getting out before that happens. Regenerative farming sounds great! I want to grow my own food as well. Best of luck with your move, Jennie! Blessings to you and your family 💗

I’m so sorry to hear that Kate 😔 Scotland is such a wild, beautiful country, and it’s upsetting that construction has infiltrated there as well.

I wouldn’t be surprised if over the next 5 years, more and more people start leaving Colorado. It’s really sad it’s come to this.
What a wonderful sentiment! Thanks for sharing the recommendations. FernGully was always one of my favourites as a kid. Good luck with your move!
Yay, another FernGully fan!! Thank you, Katie 💛 and I hope you enjoy the reading recs too!
