Working Through the New Family Farm in the New West Magazine

After much laboring and sweating, I wrote an essay for the premiere issue of The New West magazine about Jacob and I and farming and marriage and the fears I'm learning to bury.

It was a scary piece to write because it's so personal, but scary stuff can sometimes create the most meaningful epiphanies. In writing this, I came to a lot of new realizations and unearthed emotions, but also, a lot of hope.

And, by the way, one of Jacob's and my friends the other day said, "You going to have to stop writing about Jacob... isn't that kind of unjournalistic?"

I say, no way, when I see a great story, I write it, whether I'm marrying the main source or not. :)
