Well friends, the time has come to share the bittersweet news that I’ve made the decision to sell the land where Hudson’s Hill began. This decision came to me both abruptly and peacefully, like a clear voice of direction.
For Hudson and me, our home is North Carolina. This is where I call home and have grown to love it, differently, but equally in the nearly 9 years I’ve been here. But at the same time, a piece of my soul will always remain in the Blue Ridge Mountains — running through the valleys, resting on the mountaintops, and carried in the crisp mountain air that’s unlike anywhere else. That land will forever hold part of me because it embodied so much about what “home” means to me. This land represents the MOST transformative season of my life: becoming a mother, growing in faith, and learning what it means to step into obedience and surrender, which is why it means so much. I fiercely believed in it.
My prayer is that through this decision, I can build something that carries the vision of Hudson’s Hill forward — something even more beautiful, more creative, and more alive — something I can dedicate myself to like I wanted to here.
When I first bought the land in early 2022 — long before Hudson was even thought of — my vision was simple: a place to return to when visiting home, slowly transforming it into a personal sanctuary. But after Hudson was born, and once I returned to work, something began to stir in me. That’s when the vision of the greenhouse came alive and Hudson’s Hill became to namesake. I still have my very first, VERY unprofessional, unpolished draft of what it would look like — the humble beginnings of Hudson’s Hill. I am no architect, but you would’ve gotten the drift. 😂 I dove headfirst into that dream, even while making improvements to the land without fully knowing its “niche.”
From there, things grew quickly. By Christmas, we were hosting families for photos in the greenhouse, using much of my own décor to create a meaningful, beautiful space. The response was greater than I ever expected, and it showed me how much joy I find in sharing spaces, creating experiences, and helping others capture special moments. I know we had to have around 100 different families up there.
But over time, especially while living in North Carolina, I felt stretched in too many directions. I couldn’t give the land, or the greenhouse, the time and attention it truly deserved. Recently, I’ve felt a clear, firm nudge that it’s time to let go. As much as it is close to my heart, I believe the Lord is asking me to trust Him — to release this dream so He can make room for something even better.
As a mom, my goals are deeply tied to Hudson and our future. I poured my creativity, time, finances, and energy into this land. Part of me has wrestled with the thought that maybe I failed or let the dream die — but I know that isn’t true. The dream is still alive, just meant to live elsewhere.
Sometimes “more” looks like slowing down, choosing presence, and trusting that God’s redirection is just as sacred as His original calling.
So with that being said, friends, my hope and prayer is that whoever purchases this land will love it and grow it in a way that becomes just as meaningful to them and their family as it has been for me. It’s truly like owning your own mountain — the views are breathtaking (honestly, that’s the very reason I fell in love with it in the first place). The potential up there is endless, and the greenhouse already in place was built with so much love and the helping hands of many. It’s a space where creativity can run wild and new dreams can take shape.
And that’s something I want to pause and honor. To every single person who played a part in allowing my dream to come alive — thank you. Please know that I take that very seriously. Your love, support, and effort have given me a clear vision of who I am, what I can do when I put my mind to it, and even the direction I’m walking now.
Please know that the “Hudson’s Hill dream” doesn’t end here. Stay wild & keep dreaming, friends. 🦋🌿
