Country living can be quite isolating at times, with the vast areas of no one but cows in sight or the already made cliques that are hard to infiltrate and even the harsh conditions.
Michelle Holiday recognised this when she moved to the region many years ago, so she decided to create an organisation called Blossom.
“Blossom aims to connect women from various backgrounds and churches, fostering friendships and support networks,” Michelle said.
The women plan to organise monthly catch-ups and social outings such as visiting the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers and the Christmas tree farm in Stanthorpe.
“Now that I have stepped out of my comfort zone and am connecting everyone together I, myself feel connected.
“I feel like I am part of a family, part of a community and we hope to bring this feeling with Blossom to Warwick,” Michelle said.
Saturday 9 September saw women and children gather at Michelle’s farm to enjoy each other’s company, share the array of food on offer and support the small businesses that were selling little items.
With music and laughter, the day was filled with positivity. Positivity Michelle hopes to bring to all of the region and help the women blossom into their best selves.
