What is “Still Roost”?

What is “Still Roost”? — a place to be still and find rest when you need peace.

That’s what this blog is all about! Discovering my “happy place”. Finding that sanctuary that quiets the noise and brings calmness and peace to my life. Even when what’s happening outside of it’s safe wall’s is painful and destructive.

A little back story… a year ago I found myself walking down a road in my marriage I did not plan to take but God is faithful and with His help I am moving forward and vowing to make something beautiful out of the ashes. God gives us trials so we can grow so (with His grace) I wont let this trail go to waste! I’m finding my way through this valley as a stronger and more capable woman who leans on the Lord for her strength.

God knew I’d need a “Still Roost” this summer so in all His goodness and love for me he prepared it last spring in the form of starting a garden and these little fluff balls arrival (Silkies!). Learning about gardening, the addition of the new silkie chicks and the constant positive presence of the flock have helped me more than I can ever say. They have been a source of peace and calmness. When I feel this road is too much for me I go out to my chicken yard or garden and I simply be. And that’s all I need. My racing heart slows, my breathing steadies and my fears go.

So welcome to my Still Roost! I hope you enjoy walking though this journey of healing and hope with me. Along with sharing my story of growth and healing from pain, on this blog I’ll be sharing some information on how to care for your flock, my favorite chicken merchandise & products, and the everyday happenings of the chicken yard, It’s never a dull moment with this bunch, I can promise you that!
