In the Eyes of a Child

8/4/2012

Looking into the eyes of a child refreshes my soul. As I allow Lil’ L’s beautiful Light to shine on me, a space of love is created that enables me to quiet my mind. This changes the way I look at myself --- the sadness, the judgment, the guilt, the anger --- all the fears are swept away and only my true self remains. I feel so much better when I like myself. Seems so simple, but one of the biggest revelations I have had here healing on The Farm.

Support The Sanctuary

Fairchild

In the fall of 2011, Mike and I moved to a small farm in Central Illinois where we immediately found ourselves rescuing horses. The rescue was not part of our original plan, but we felt the calling while doing a search for a pair of ponies we did plan on caring for on the farm. Since childhood, my entire extended family and I have been horse owners. Mike and I wanted to continue this tradition. Upon searching the internet for a pair of ponies, we were overwhelmed with the number of horses that needed a rescue and/or a home.

So, enter Princess and Geronimo, the first two rescues. They were both severely malnourished and uncared for. Mike and Nicole adopted them both. To this day, we are still helping them open to all of their best possibilities.

After Princess and Geronimo arrived, a third horse, Hero, came to the farm. At this point we reached capacity on our small farmette, but we knew we weren’t done.

The Farm Way Sanctuary became a non profit Corporation in April of 2014.

It has taken us four years, the birth of our beautiful, horse-ready son, a barn fire, getting outbid on another farm, regrouping our entire family at Maytown Farm, a rockin’ farmraiser, an incredible angel family, Grandma Nancy, and being homeless like little tiny baby Jesus on Christmas Eve to bring us here, to our forever farm in Whiteside County, IL. in the winter of 2016.

This farm is our ideal space to provide sanctuary for horses and other animals in need. As well as, allow The Farm Way Sanctuary to build the facilities needed for programs and programming that educate and minister the spirit and warmth of the horses, mother earth and one another to children, their families, individuals and groups.
