I got some messages recently from a few people who saw me working on the farm — no makeup, sun on my face, showing my age — and they had opinions. Told me I wasn’t representing a strong woman. Told me I needed a dermatologist. Told me to start working out.
Here’s the thing — I already take care of myself. I’m strong, I’m healthy, and I am deeply secure in who I am.
My grandmother used to tell me, ‘beauty is as beauty does.’ And some of the strongest women I’ve ever known in my life were never beauty queens. They were beautiful to me because of what they did, not how they looked doing it.
We don’t judge a book by its cover — because what’s inside will always surprise you.
So to every woman out there who feels like she has to look perfect to be taken seriously — you don’t. Show up as you are. Do the work. Be the woman your grandmother would be proud of.
And to the people who lash out like that — I’ve learned something too. Usually when someone reacts that hard, they’re carrying something. Maybe grief, maybe pain, and they don’t have anywhere to put it. So instead of lashing back, I’d rather respond with a little grace. Because hurt people don’t need more hurt. They need someone who sees them.

Well, I got breakfast done, started prepping for lunch, and I don’t have to do lunch! As with most things, there are always a few setbacks in life. So for lunch, it is leftovers. Now, what am I gonna do for dinner? I guess I’ll just push what I was gonna make for lunch and have it tonight! #thinktheo #theoboyd #hope #farmlife #love 
“Farming is a very hard and stressful line of work… Growing up, I witnessed the difficulties and stresses of this lifestyle. Farmers wear many hats, or caps, for that matter. It’s not just planting seeds, watering, and watching. Farmers are agronomists, economists, meteorologists, plumbers, welders, engineers, electricians, general mechanics, and chemists – any role that is needed to be a steward of the land. It’s stressful to depend on things that are far beyond your control.”

🌽Corn Harvest DAY 1 lunch is done! ✅ Now, I’m going to take a few minutes to rest and eat a chicken salad sandwich, then back to work (and maybe a nap while watching “Little House”). 🥰☀️🌽#thinktheo #theoboyd #farmlife #hope #cornharvest
Today starts the corn harvest. I get to be a farm wife. I learned from the best - my mom…planning and making lunches, keeping house, and getting ready for dinner. My boyfriend will be on the combine from dawn to dusk. I’m hoping to get everything done this morning, deliver lunches, and take a little nap this afternoon while I watch “Little House on the Prairie.”#thinktheo #americanhoney #cornharvest2026 #theoboyd #hope
I got to see this precious baby for the first time today. Oh my ! Oh my! Lane Ryan - you are the most adorable baby ever! I love you ❤️ Dina Medley Pillow and Julianne Lynn Franks - He is wonderful!
Living on the farm, I am surrounded by memories. I heard this song today, and I thought about everything in my life that it was talking about. I grew up on the side of the road, with a preacher and love that grows. Summertime is a reminder of many things, but one of the most important things is love. @ladya song captures it beautifully. ❤️🙏 #americanhoney #thinktheo #grief #hope #love
Hard days may come, but in the end - God is always there. He shows us his promise time and time again. We just have to open our eyes and see it. #theoboyd #thinktheo #grief #hope #love
