Hello, all!
I figured this might be a good place to tuck in this little seed of a dream ~
someday I think it would be nice to create a peaceful space to offer to others to freely enjoy for a season of rest. Maybe missionaries needing respite, or others who we might hear through the grapevine could use a little time away but might not be able to finance it for themselves.
This is still the tiniest seed as I’m a single 36 yr old gal still paying off my student loan and not particularly geared toward or motivated by anything entrepreneurial. I’m unsure where the place would be or how I’d eventually find myself there, but in the meantime figure it’d be nice to learn some things about operating a little guest house and/or raising sheep (mostly for my own education and relational growth with the Lord as I learn more about His being our Good Shepherd - but I have a hard time with the thought of raising them for meat // think I might get attached, so learning wool processes seems like a practical undertaking if I’m going to enjoy their company). I’d also love a life situation with at least one resident donkey.
Curious if anyone knows of places like this which could use the help in their day-to-day, from whom I could learn by participation? I currently work full time coordinating volunteers and hospitality for a nonprofit group in SW Florida, but am happy to be anywhere and to pursue a transition as the wind might blow.
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider this, and best as you continue in all your efforts toward making your corners of the earth the kind of places you’d like to see in this world.
Gratefully,
Ashley
By the way!
I also interned for a year in tropical agricultural development (primarily for small scale farmers) and worked for a year in the propagation department of the ag nonprofit which I currently support. I also have a deep interest in other cultures and well-developed cultural sensitivity and lots of administrative experience. I love office work
. And gardening and the thought of growing all my own beans 🫘! Thanks again for coming this way and I hope many blessings to all of you 🙏🌸!
