One of the reasons people come visit StarHill Farms is to get back in touch with nature. Being only an hour and a half from Houston makes this an easy destination to do just that. But, what is a good way to connect once you’re here?

Take a walk in the garden. The farm has several places to stop and take in nature. One of my favorites is the garden. This post walks you through touring the garden and inspires you to plant one of your own.

Rejuvenate

Remember what rejuvenation feels like.

It's funny how our problems shout at us. Struggle! Pain! Complications! Taxes! Work!

Underneath that shouting is a much softer voice. One that's much more important. It's our truth, resting softly inside, reminding us that we are bigger than our problems. Encouraging us like an infinite blank page. A place where we can write and rewrite the script of our internal being.
