About
My name is Esta.
I’m clumsy mostly. Long, gangly actions and words that always seem to jut out in places they don’t belong. I get scared of people. I write words on paper because in real life, my mouth stumbles often.
I am still trying to figure out why I even have a blog. I mean, really?
I’m a Canadian. A newly graduated nursing student in her early 20s. A wilderness lover living in a city of 5 million. A wilderness lover living her dream in the northern bush. A mission minded, hippy converted, lover of all things earthy.
I treasure velvet nights out on the water. Canoes. And sapphire stars. Shattered dreams in hearts of courage .
Babies with kissable dimples. Whispers in the twilight and the sound of a whippoorwill back in the pines. White birches and old musty books. Broken chains and freedom. Goblets and laughter. Yes, lots of laughter. And red kitchens. Joy in the morning, after the weeping. Scarves. Lily of the valley in old blue pottery.
Bare feet dancing. Lilting music and old love songs. Words and writing. And gummy bears.
My feet like bare earth and I can never stop moving.
I tend to feel too much. I doubt a lot.
But I am loved by the Lover with the nail scared hands and hold to hope because of it.
I can be reached by email at estafaye@gmail.com . I would absolutely love to hear your story.
So ya.

Hi
(awkward wave)
I have stumbled upon your blog, and have greatly enjoyed the fact that you are not normal. Don’t be.
Your post “A crack in the perfect, singing” resonated with me in particular. A little slice of my own experience as the odd one out: http://silverwarethief.com/blog/2011/04/05/endearing-weirdness/ There could be a lot more stories where that came from.
Unrelated, but your post about your struggle with depression reminded me strongly of this series of posts about a struggle with depression (written by Shaun Groves). I think you will find it interesting to read what he shared from his experience. I think it is a nine part series. I stumbled upon his blog too. http://shaungroves.com/series/beggars-fortune/page/2/
Hopefully those links won’t get me sent to the spam pile.

Esta, seriously.
If you ever go normal I’m going to cry. Probably for a whole day. Please stay peculiar forever and ever so that I may bask in the wonder of your being from afar.
I can’t help but love you. I really can’t. (:

Esta,
I love you “About me” section. It is so real and transparent. Awesome!
I found your blog through a link on Dorcas Smucker’s blog and have really enjoyed reading through various posts.
I am a blogger too! I write at http://www.projectpaperie.blogspot.com. I would be honored if you would stop by and say hello!
Thanks and God Bless,
Gabrielle

I don’t know you and you don’t know me, and the way I found your blog is slightly untraceable; however we bo0th belong to God and therefore we are sisters.
I really appreciate the way you write, I wish I was comfortable sharing all that God is teaching me at this time. I wish that I would even just take the time to examine my heart and really see all that He is doing in it. You have challenged me and I pray that I would take that challenge and go with it! May the Lord continue to bless you greatly! You can find me at “Gillian’s Jottings”, I would also recommend a new site called “Brag on God [.com]” (without the spaces, caps, and brackets) In Christ’s love, Gillian
