Lola Brown

I live in Nova Scotia with my five children and Husband on a farm by the ocean. I share a bit of my life here mostly in the form of film photographs. I've been a birth doula for over a decade and I pretend to be a decent gardener. Please feel free to contact me by email. nearer.still@gmail.com http://vsco.co/lolabrown/

When the rocket launched today, Iver, overcome with awe and excitement, screamed “I’m going to be an astronaut!” And then when Mark said it was right over us, he ran outside to look 😂. #launchamerica #spacex #nasa

I’m nearing the three year anniversary of my mental health episode. I definitely don’t plan on doing that again 😬. Three years is long enough for a bit of wide angle perspective. Here are a few things I know to be true now. 1. Very few experiences in this life last forever. Good or bad. 2. Hormonal fluctuations (like weaning a baby and menopause) can effect mental health quite profoundly. Like, dude, be mindful. 3. I use humour as a coping mechanism and veil for all of my pain, fear, anxiety, struggles and trials and that sometimes impedes my recovery. (Thanks pa 😉). 4. No one is immune to mental illness. 5. Much of the deep joy in my life has been born from deep struggle. But I feel recovered. Like it was a small part of my story and not the defining part. One thing that I find tricky right now is sharing life’s normal stresses and emotions with my close friends. I worry it will invoke panic in them like “oh no! Not again! We can’t handle crazy Lola” because everyone who is reading this right now listen to me... I had a really difficult time going through a major depressive episode but my close friends and family also had a very difficult time going through my MDE. I don’t mean that they felt really sad and bad for me though I’m sure they did. I mean I was like a needy, irrational, newborn who could talk. Nonstop. And I didn’t practice self care at all so they had to make sure I stayed alive and didn’t smell and ate and went to the bathroom and didn’t rot in my dark room. For six weeks. 😬 I feel so bad. So I worry about saying things like “I didn’t sleep last night because I was jittery and had insomnia.” Or “I’m really sad for no reason today”. Cause if I were them I’d freak out! I’m so thankful that my bad days seem like normal and manageable bad days. Phew. #majordepressivedisorder #mentalillness

We bought Janet the cow as an 8 week old calf from a dairy down the road. They were getting rid of their Jerseys. We gifted her to my mom for her birthday the same month we moved onto our farm. It’s been seven years! For the last little while I’ve had five kids by myself while Mark has been stuck in BC working (and travel being very complicated) and my mom has been stuck in Arizona not able to come home when she typically would in the spring. All this to say, I just couldn’t keep milking a cow right now. So Janet is taking a lovely vacation at @turner.farm and it looks like she’s loving it. She’s a seasoned milker now who only occasionally steps in the bucket and whips you with her tail. From what I hear she is enjoying herself and they are enjoying her milk! #familycow #rawmilk
