This week we are highlighting and celebrating the courageous Heather Carr and her beautiful family as she shares how their entire life took a turn and literally changed overnight. We are so excited to share Heather's story of strength, hope and light with all of you! Heather is a police and army wife to her amazing husband of 11 years, raising their three adorable kiddos.

To say Heather's family has lived a lot of life in a few years would be just the beginning. Raising a young family while her husband served his military duties and safely returning the couple decided to begin renovating their home and working on their small hobby farm in Washington state on their beautiful riverside property.

Heather openly shares what it was like one night in December when the family went to bed after decorating their Christmas tree to waking up the next day and discovering that they were going to lose their home to the Nisqually river in 2015. In one night, Heather, her husband and their one & three year old daughters were homeless.

The river overflowed her banks, changing her course, undercutting the Carr home causing the county to condemn and demolish their beautiful home to keep it from falling into the river. To hear Heather tell her story from the moment they realized they could be in danger to being told they had to evacuate immediately to packing an Adidas backpack with diapers, onesies and a few personal items is heartbreaking...but it wasn't permanent.

Heather takes us along her journey from the uncertain moments to the tough times, Heather shares some of the most important decisions that her and her husband chose to make. Literally re - building a strong foundation from the the ground up and how following an instinctive nudge to start making soy candles was exactly the healing process her family needed to move forward.

Sweet & Wild Farms was born out of hope to move on and keep growing. It is a tangible way Heather and her family share hope with the world even when it seems like all is lost. It is all about the dream and turned out to be the pathway of love the Carr's traveled to get there.

Tune in with us tonight -- we promise you will find some inspiration in Heather's resilient story of grit, faith and immense gratitude for everyone that helped to lift her & her family up in love & light.

For that, Heather is forever changed and giving back every chance she gets, "My hope for this company is more than to sell candles, it's to be a light in the darkness through love and hope that things will get better," Heather said. We will see you there!

Thank you for being here and sharing / tagging someone who could really use Heather's story in their life right now.

We appreciate you so much!
