Friday morning brought the first frost. The fields were shimmering; sunlight turning the cold into a blanket of tiny diamonds. Everything was touched by that silvery stillness… except for one small yellow flower.

She stood right by the door, bright and impossibly alive, as if she had held on through the night just to greet me. The way she caught the light, standing there alone in the chill, brought tears to my eyes. There was something so pure about her; resilient, vibrant, quietly defiant against the cold. A reminder that even in the midst of change, life insists on beauty.

The morning before, a coyote had appeared on the land, still and watchful. Both mornings felt like messages, gentle affirmations that we are walking in rhythm with something larger than ourselves.

That same day, the floors of our community healing space were being finished, and the doors and trim had already been ordered. For nearly three years, we’ve been building this with our hands and hearts; steady devotion and vision guiding each step.

We’ve spoken of this dream; a healing sanctuary on our 38-acre, fifth-generation family farmland. And it’s nearing time for this dream to be brought into the waking world. To share with you all. There’s still work ahead, but standing there with that little flower, I could feel it; what we’ve been working toward is already alive and growing.

🌼 More to come soon.

We’ve been reflecting lately on all the amazing things happening right here in Pomeroy — and one that truly deserves celebration is what’s happening at the Meigs County Health Department.

Many people don’t know this, but the Health Department received a Public Health Workforce Grant awarded by the Ohio Department of Health to support activities related to the recruitment, retention, and development of Ohio’s public health workforce — all in service of delivering quality public health services. One of the many allowable goals of this grant was to expand employee well-being programs to address burnout, work-life balance, and job satisfaction.

And here’s the part that makes us proud to call this home: the Meigs County Health Department chose to partner with The Nook to bring in mindfulness, somatic practices, sound healing, and therapeutic art twice a month — all to help their staff stay grounded, supported, and well as they continue their essential work.

It’s rare to see a health department use grant funding this way — intentionally investing in the inner health of their own people through holistic and integrative practices. That’s visionary leadership, and it’s one of those things that truly sets our county apart.

This is what Pomeroy looks like at its best — caring for the caretakers, leading with heart, and believing in community well-being from the inside out.

There’s something deeply healing about putting your hands in clay. About shaping, smoothing, collapsing, and beginning again.

For us, art isn’t separate from our work; it is the work. Engaging in craft keeps us rooted in the present moment, connected to our bodies, and attuned to the quiet rhythm that underlies all creation. It’s how we stay grounded, nourished, and resourced enough to hold space for others.

Making something with our hands reminds us that healing, like clay, takes form slowly; through touch, patience, and willingness to begin again.

Immerse yourself in a unique 60-minute sound healing experience that blends the soothing embrace of AIReal hammocks with the vibrational power of sound therapy. Suspended in a silk cocoon, you will feel weightless and supported as crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and drums create healing frequencies to restore balance in your body and mind. This combination of sound and suspension promotes deep relaxation, emotional release, and energetic alignment.
