I believe that each best choice that I make will add up to the best life that I can live. ~ Esther Emery
Esther is an off-grid homestead wife, mama, and author. She lives with her husband and three children in a yurt (!!) in the forest (!!!) where they maintain a blog and YouTube channel about the simple life.
They raise goats, and bake bread, among many other amazing things. She just released her first book, What Falls From the Sky: How I Disconnected from the Internet and Reconnected with the God Who Made the Clouds, in December.
I love talking with Esther because she makes me think big about God and people and change.

God is so much more creative than we give Him credit for in communicating with us. ~ Susie Davis
My daughters will go through their own process. And I trust God with them. I trust God to help them write their stories. ~ Esther Emery
