You Are Not Alone 🤍 ;

Sometimes healing doesn’t look like big moments…
sometimes it looks like this.

Two tiny lives, side by side —
leaning in, staying close, finding comfort in simply not being alone.

They don’t have to understand the world yet.
They just know they’re safer together.

On World Semicolon Day, we’re reminded that even when life feels overwhelming, even when your story feels heavy…

you don’t have to carry it by yourself.

There is always someone who will sit beside you.
Even in silence.
Even in the hardest moments.

Your story isn’t over… and you are never alone. 🤍 ;

There’s something really special about slowing down on the farm… 🌿

Out here, healing doesn’t always look like big moments — sometimes it’s as simple as standing in the quiet, feeling the ground beneath your feet, and taking a deep breath alongside an animal who expects nothing from you.

Affirmations might seem like small words, but they carry so much weight.
“I am safe. I am grounded. I am exactly where I’m meant to be.”

These are things so many people don’t always feel in their everyday lives — especially those navigating trauma, anxiety, or just the heaviness that life can bring.

At Arrow of Light, this is what we strive to offer:
✨ A space where you can exhale
✨ A space where you feel safe, without judgment
✨ A space where connection — to animals, nature, and yourself — comes naturally

Our animals have a way of reminding us of what truly matters. They don’t rush, they don’t overthink… they just are. And in their presence, we learn how to do the same.

Sometimes healing starts with something as simple as a moment… and a gentle reminder that you’re okay right here, right now. 🤍

These were the 2 animals that started our farm.

Miss Pig & Hope.

It's been quite a week ... but we'd proudly like to introduce our first two sanctuary animals.

Hope - is a Holstein x Angus meaning she is both a dairy & beef cow, she was rescued from a local dairy farm where they are sadly taken from thier moms at birth, weve been so busy nursing her back to health. Here at the farm, she will be strictly companion and used for self-directed therapeutic touch sessions. She is currently recovering from scours and the last week we've worked effortlessly alongside Wholesome Homestead to ensure she had the best chance at recovery. She is finally on the mend!

Miss Piggy - is our newest rescue who arrived yesterday just in time for our son's 5th birthday. She was living at another farm down the road and previous to them owning her she had a very heartbreaking history. We will be working with her regularly and hope to eventually be able to use her as well. Her and Hope have became the best of friends in less than 24 hours.

There’s something so special about the bond between a mother and her baby… 💕

Lottie has always been Amira’s shadow since the moment she was born — but since Amira’s enucleation surgery, they’ve become truly inseparable. It’s almost as if Lottie has taken on a new role, gently leading and guiding her mom through the world. 🐐

We’ve noticed Amira has been a bit more anxious since her surgery, and honestly… who wouldn’t be? Adjusting to life with one eye is a big change. But despite that, she continues to show us just how strong and resilient she is. She’s still thriving, still enjoying life, and we are always closely monitoring and supporting her every step of the way.

For those who may not know, Amira is one of our originals — the second goat ever born here on the farm. She’s been part of our story from the very beginning, and she holds such a special place in our hearts. 🤍

We love her more than words can express, and we’re hopeful that with time, patience, and love, she’ll continue to grow more comfortable in her new way of navigating the world.

For now, she has everything she needs — love, safety, and her sweet girl Lottie right by her side… helping her put one foot in front of the other. 💞

We hope everyone had a beautiful, restful Easter and a wonderful long weekend with loved ones! 🌷✨

The weather is finally warming up around here, and we’ve been using the sunshine as motivation to tackle some home repairs and projects we’ve procrastinated on for far too long. 🔨🏠 It feels good to keep our hands busy and focus on what we can control while things with the farm and the animals remain in a bit of a holding pattern.

The truth is, we are at a standstill until we can secure the funds needed for testing. Not knowing what the next steps are—or what the future holds—has been incredibly heavy on the heart and mind. Because of that, I’m spending as much time as possible just hanging out and working with the animals; they each have such a special place in my heart, and they are the best medicine for the "not-knowing."

It has been so difficult to explain the pause and turn away the many inquiries we’ve been getting lately. We are praying for the best possible news so we can get back to our normal routine and welcome you all back soon. ❤️

In the meantime, don’t forget about our giveaway! 🎁

We are officially less than 500 followers away from doing the big draw! If you haven't entered yet, now is the time. Please like, follow, and share our page to help us hit that milestone.

Yesterday, we made a post in search of a woman who had been seen photographing and walking around different angles of our property line. While we wanted to be mindful of intentions, we were also genuinely curious — and honestly, a little flattered — that someone took the time to stop and see the beauty in our farm and animals 🐓💛

Well… today we found her!

Thanks to the power of community and everyone who helped share our post, we were able to connect. We truly appreciate everyone who took the time to help — it may not have been possible without you 🙏🏼

We’re so relieved and grateful to learn it was simply an innocent and kind gesture. It means so much to know our little slice of the world is being appreciated through someone else’s lens.

With her permission, we’re excited to share some of the beautiful photos she captured of our birds 📷🦆

A big thank you to Joanne Kandler for your kindness, your eye for beauty, and for taking the time to capture moments on our farm.

This was a wonderful reminder of how strong and supportive our community truly is 💫

Day 44 of Emu Egg Incubation 🥚✨

We are officially on day 44 and things are getting so exciting around here!

Both of our emu eggs (2/2) that are due to hatch soon are showing movement — the most beautiful and reassuring sign as we near hatch time. Watching these little lives grow and become stronger each day is nothing short of incredible.

We continue to pray for healthy development, safe hatching, and strong little chicks as the big moment approaches. Every wiggle reminds us just how fragile and miraculous this process is.
Take a moment to watch some movement from this little one… 💛

Tomorrow is a big step — we’ll be taking them off their “risers” and allowing the eggs to naturally roll into position for hatching, placing them directly on the base of the incubator. From there… the real wait begins.

If all continues to go well, next week we’re hoping to meet their little faces earth-side — and we truly can’t wait to share that moment with all of you.

Stay tuned… something very special is on the way 🐣✨

Today is 🌎 Autism Day 💙

Being a parent of a child on the spectrum, and having grown up with siblings on the spectrum, this life has never felt “different” to me — it’s just been my normal.

It wasn’t until I got older that I realized how different that normal looks from the outside. Not every home has lift systems or elevators. Not every family navigates mobility challenges alongside autism. And not every person on the spectrum has the same needs — because the truth is, autism is incredibly broad.

Some individuals may never use words, only sounds. Some are simply late talkers. Some need physical supports, while others don’t at all. There is no one-size-fits-all — and that’s something the world is still learning.

What I do know is this: They have brilliant minds.
They feel deeply.
They experience the world in ways that challenge us, teach us, and open our hearts in ways we never expected.

Being both a sister and a mother to someone with autism has shaped who I am. It has taught me patience, perspective, compassion — and most of all, how to truly see people for who they are, not what they can or cannot do.

Today isn’t just about awareness — it’s about understanding, acceptance, and celebrating every unique mind 💙🧩

Please excuse the messy yard… 😅

This winter dragged on far longer than we ever welcomed, and it definitely shows around here. But with the longer daylight and the snow finally behind us, things are starting to move again 🌱

Spring clean-up is always one of the biggest jobs of the year 😩 Right now, we’re looking for a local excavating company who may be able to help remove the built-up hay along a section in our upper paddock. It’s become enough of a buildup that it’s giving our animals the opportunity to get out — which we obviously want to avoid.

If anyone has recommendations for removal (including hauling it away), we would really appreciate the guidance!

In this photo is Faith, our young livestock guardian 🐾
With our fencing currently being a bit “low” (thanks to that hay buildup), she’s been spending her days in our new 6ft fenced area by the paddock — keeping watch for wildlife and alerting us to any potential predators. She’s already taking her job very seriously.

You might also notice she’s claimed something new… 😄

This elevated pet bed just arrived from our Amazon.ca Wishlist — technically meant for the pigs, but Faith seems to think otherwise!

A huge thank you to Lisia for your continued support of our farm. Along with the bed, we also received some beautiful grooming brushes for the ponies — we’re so grateful for your kindness.

If you’d like to contribute to our wishlist, there are items at all price points.
Please don’t ever feel pressured — your support, encouragement, and simply following along our journey means just as much, especially while our doors are temporarily closed 💛
