The Journey
After a decade of living in Central Texas, in 2018, I was blessed to have the opportunity to return to my native east Texas and reside again on my maternal family’s 100+ year old farm in Nacogdoches.
It was in disrepair, but salvageable. It reminds me of so many lives I encounter, including myself.
I’ve been on a journey to restore it...and rediscover my roots along the way, feel free to join me.
Nothing fancy. Nothing scripted.
Just real life, real memories, and real roots...a homeplace and a life restored.
One day, one moment at a time.
