AHHH BEAUTY. I love you so fucking much. Not only a poignant reflection on the tender human condition (❤️🩹😭💦) this essay is also an important archive of an inflection point in history. thank you 🙏🏻
So moving, so powerful. The storms inside and outside, the home-work challenges, the catastrophes piling up, you wrote us into your heartbreaking season with eloquence and it means so much to read this. I am so grateful to read this hard story, told with truth and beauty.
Beautiful and heart-wrenching words, friend. I am so sorry you have been in survival mode for so long. This is such an important essay for so many reasons. Honored you shared this with us. Love you.
Holy shit, Keia! First, I'm so sorry lasy year was so tough and congrats on getting through it This is exactly the kind of writing we need right now. I know I need it. This is actual front line reporting from real life, and beautifully done. Thank you!
I remember seeing you in late June—navigating the juggle and the struggle. I love how, despite our vastly different daily lives, your words resonate so deeply with the human experience. The realness you bring to life and relationships is powerful, Keia. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing so openly and honestly.
Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing this recap. I resonate deeply with working very hard and making very little money. I do the “6 week” thing all the time. Like, I just gotta get through this super busy time to make it to the next one. Your reflections will help more of us to consider what’s important I’m certain. I think a lot part of owning a small business that you’re passionate about it constantly checking in with yourself, your limitations and your goals. I hope 2025 provides a little more ease for ya’ll.
Thanks, Melissa. I know you are more than familiar with the hustle of farm and food businesses. Still evolving, changing, shifting and rooting for the little guys!
