Some stories are about beautiful places. Others are about the hearts, the people, and the journeys that give those places meaning. This one is about both. ❤️
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Taryn King, Special Publications Editor for Coastal Point, for the beautiful feature on Hobbs & Rose Cottage in the October 2nd edition of Coastal Home & Garden.
Taryn, thank you for the kindness, compassion, and genuine care you brought to our time together. You didn’t simply interview me about a cottage or the gardens that surround it. You took the time to listen to my heart, to understand the journey, and to recognize that Hobbs & Rose has always been about something much deeper than a beautiful place to stay.
It’s about connection. It’s about creating space for people to feel welcomed, loved, and restored. And it’s about finding purpose and beauty even in the midst of life’s deepest sorrows.
What makes this publication especially meaningful to me is something I don’t believe was a coincidence.
The magazine was released on October 2nd, my beautiful daughter Abigail’s birthday.
Of all the days this story could have been shared, it was shared on hers.
I believe God has a way of reminding us that love doesn’t end, that our stories continue, and that even through unimaginable loss, something beautiful can still grow.
Abigail is woven into the heart of Hobbs & Rose. Her life, her memory, and the love I will forever carry for her are part of the reason I continue creating spaces where people can gather, connect, and simply be.
I honor her. I celebrate her. And I will always speak her name.
Thank you, Taryn, for telling our story with such tenderness and for giving others a glimpse into the heart behind Hobbs & Rose Cottage.
I hope you’ll take a few moments to read it. Our story begins on page 4 and continues on pages 6, 8, 10, and 62.
