Riverside Homestead Journal

Journal Entry

Hi, I’m Jasmine — the one behind the screen, quietly shaping this space with love, patience, and a lot of late nights.

This blog is my mom’s voice, her growth, her becoming, and I just get the honor of helping carry it gently into the world.

I’ve watched her learn how to soften without breaking, how to grow without losing herself, and how to find balance in a life that doesn’t always make it easy. I’ve seen her unlearn, relearn, and choose herself again and again, and being close to that kind of growth changes you. It teaches you that healing is not loud or perfect, but slow, human, and deeply brave.

This space isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about tending to yourself like a garden, letting seasons pass through you, trusting that growth happens even when you can’t see it yet. It’s about choosing balance instead of burning out, and honoring the quiet work of becoming who you are.

I don’t write the stories here, but I believe in them. I believe in gentle strength, in rooted hearts, in learning to trust your own timing. If you’re here, I hope you feel welcome, held, and reminded that you don’t have to rush your healing to deserve it.

I’m just the girl behind the website, but I’m really glad you found your way here.

With love,
Jasmine
