What to expect with seasonallymack

Before diving into what to expect here you might want to first understand where here is. My about me gives a quick overview of how my life has arrived at this moment in time and I recommend starting there.

When seasonallymack was just an idea I found myself doubting what I would share and who would read it. I began to draft a list of ideas and was surprised when they flowed onto the paper like water. It was clear seasonallymack would not focus on one specific topic, as a saw the many ideas falling into a few overlying themes.

FAITH.

God has changed my life in the most amazing and unexpected way possible. To know Him is to love Him and if I can share just a small piece of that with one person through the life he has given me than I will count it as a victory.

FITNESS.

My faith led me directly into a gym that surrounded me with a community who challenged and encouraged me. Through that place I began to understand the value in challenging myself and stepping outside of my comfort zone and see my body as the blessing it really is.

FOOD.

Then that gym took me down a path that opened my eyes to nutrition. Chains of bad habits were broken and I found freedom in kitchen creativity; creativity that led to recipes loaded with nourishment that I can’t wait to share with you.

FARM.

I use the term farming loosely here because 3 chickens and a family sized garden might be questionable under the term farm but, a girl can dream, right? The blessing of a home fell into our lap in 2018 and through many trials and errors I created a garden that has since blessed us with many meals.

Sharing these experiences in the most limited sense has opened my eyes up to the number of people who share these passions but do not know where to start. I pray that my words create an opening where a toe can be dipped, a heart can be encouraged, and an idea can be shaped into a lifestyle.
