Calling on the wisdom of our community… 🌾

Many of you know we’ve been working on building the 605 Roots Bunkhouse — a place where kids, families, and retreat guests can come experience growth, healing, and connection through horses and the western way of life.

Watching this project slowly come together has been incredible. Every step seems to involve someone in the community stepping forward with their time, skills, or encouragement.

This week we even picked out the windows and doors, which made the whole vision feel a lot more real.

But here’s something we’re still learning about…

Grants and funding opportunities.

We’ve submitted a few applications, but this world of foundations, corporate giving, and employee matching programs is pretty new territory for us.

So I thought I’d ask the people who always seem to have the best ideas…

Our community.

👇 I’d love your input:

• Do you know of any grants that support youth development, community projects, or rural initiatives?
• Does your workplace offer donation matching or employee giving programs?
• Do you know of foundations, businesses, or organizations that love supporting projects like this?

Sometimes the best opportunities come from someone simply saying,
“Hey… you should talk to this person.”

If anything comes to mind, drop it in the comments or send me a message. Your ideas and connections could make a big difference.

True North Veterinary Health, PLLC There’s something really special about a vet who doesn’t just treat the horse… but teaches along the way.

We’re so thankful for a vet who takes the time to explain what she’s doing, why she’s doing it, and what options we have for the best possible outcome for these horses. That kind of care matters.

Even more special is watching her invest in the next generation — bringing students along, teaching them hands-on, and passing down knowledge that keeps this way of life strong.

At 605 Roots, that same heartbeat is something we deeply value. We love connecting with individuals and businesses who care about mentorship, education, and helping the next generation learn the why behind what they’re doing.

Grateful for people who care deeply about both the animals and the people learning to care for them. 🐎
The future of good horsemanship and veterinary care is in good hands.

🐑 Meet Baxter!

Thank you everyone for all the fun name suggestions for our newest little lamb. We loved seeing you jump in and be part of what’s happening behind the scenes here at 605 Roots.

After lots of laughs and a few family debates… this little guy is officially Baxter.

There’s something special about slowing down long enough to notice the small moments — a new lamb in the barn, kids checking on him, horses quietly watching nearby. These little moments are often the ones that fill our hearts the most.

Welcome to the farm, Baby Baxter. We’re glad you’re here. 🐑🌾☀️

Do you guys have a barnyard bully?

We do.

Her name is Chicken Duck. 🐓🦆

Chicken Duck tried to live with the chickens… but she’s kind of a bully. The other chickens finally decided they weren’t putting up with it anymore. So now she lives with the ducks, because she can still push her weight around over there.

And watching her got me thinking about I can share with you guys what we teach out individuals.

Our brains are wired to keep us safe and comfortable, not necessarily to help us grow.

When we want something — attention, control, getting our way — it can actually feel easier for our brain to conform, manipulate, or push our way through instead of doing the harder work of changing ourselves.

Why?

Because change requires the brain to build new pathways, and that takes energy.
The brain often says:
“Let’s just do what’s familiar. Let’s stay in the pattern that works.”

Even if that pattern isn’t healthy.

So sometimes we become a little like Chicken Duck —
Instead of growing, we just move environments where our old behaviors still work and we feel  accepted, even if it’s not real friendships.

But real growth looks different.

Growth is when we pause and ask:
✨ What is my brain trying to protect right now?
✨ Is there a better way to respond?
✨ What would the person I want to become do here?

The brain may resist change at first because it thinks familiar equals safe.

 (this is why I tell you you’re not broken. Your brain is doing everything it’s supposed to you just have to change the neural pathways.)

But the amazing thing is —
when we practice new thoughts, new behaviors, and healthier responses, the brain actually rewires itself.

And over time, what once felt hard becomes natural.

So the question isn’t:
“Where can I go where my behavior still works?”

The better question is:
“Who am I becoming?”

🌿 Animals Have a Way of Teaching Us 🌿

This little guy has already been reminding us of something we talk about a lot around here —
animals naturally invite us to slow down.

They don’t rush. (you can’t make him drink any faster than they are.)
They don’t perform.(  when they’re done with you, you know it.)
They simply are.(beautiful reminder to be in the moment.)

And when we’re with them, we’re reminded to breathe a little deeper, notice a little more, and be present in a way that’s hard to find in the busyness of life. 🤎

As we continue getting to know him, we’re choosing his name — and we’d love your help!

Right now it’s a toss-up between:
✨ Baxter
✨ Champ
✨ David

Drop your vote below 👇

And we’d love to hear too —
What’s something that helps YOU slow down?

Your answers always remind us how many beautiful ways there are to find peace in the middle of real life.

Thanks for being part of the 605 Roots family Alissa Voyles we’re so grateful for this opportunity to learn more about lambs.

These moments remind me how much life is found in the simple, everyday rhythms.
Showing up. Being present. Caring well for what’s been entrusted to us.

Joy doesn’t always come in big moments…
sometimes it looks like chickens running to greet you. 🤍
