These blog entries portray the breath of life for me. Places where I have felt dead and then restored. I am a simple complex human, mama of deep child lovin’, people serving creature.

Testimonies
“There are not enough words to describe the unique and extraordinary experience we had at Heartrock! Kim and Greg are two of the finest humans you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Their perfectly cultivated venue is as lovely as the spectacular flowers they lovingly grow on site. To say they care about the people who trust them with their special event is an understatement! They walk with you every step of the way. Every detail, from the house to the Gathering Room, to the Guest House, to the catering kitchen, and especially the BEAUTIFUL property, is everything you could want for your special day or gathering. We have been in the wedding industry for over 25 years, and couldn’t have asked for a better day. You will feel loved, cared for, pampered, and appreciated. You’ll feel like family, and a little sad when it’s time to go, because you’ve felt what it’s like to belong there, all thanks to the sweet family who will take you in and make their property yours, even if just for a little while. We will never forget this day, or you, Kim and Greg!
