In some ways, it feels like we’ve always been here…and in others, it feels like we’ve lived a lifetime in just twelve months. When we first arrived, everything was new. Unfamiliar. Unsettled in its own way. We knew we were being led here, but we didn’t fully understand why.

For a long time, my spirit has been quietly reaching toward a different way of existing, a return to the grounding weight of primitive homesteading and traditional herbalism. This little corner is my scrap of shadow and stillness—a slow, sacred place to gather the small photographs, honest words, and fleeting...]]></description><link>https://www.sablewoodcottage.com/post/creating-a-quite-life</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68e553345410b45ad9a9ba7a</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Oct 2025 18:02:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ef121d_64b82d3578ee4dfa9042e5c550a0a346~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>KERI PIKE</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[SETTLING IN ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Our little Family recently Moved from one side of my little hometown to the other. We have spent the last  7 years of our life,  in our little off cabin on some land we own &#38; we made a simple life of homesteading and spent alot of time learning how to be close to nature, the Father, and the simplicities of living life without modern comforts.

A holy beginning. A Sabbath Prayer Tonight we will sleep in a new home. Not just into a house—but into a holy new season. A home that comes after a long season of wandering—of sorrow, of waiting, of pressing through when the days were heavy and the light felt distant. Seven years.
