Living Your Big Bold Life

2020 was a challenging year for many, including Britt Fisk, who faced unexpected and daunting life changes. Britt and her husband Jeremy are cattle ranchers in New Mexico. With the help of their eight kids, her sister and brother in-law, they run a family business called “Bell Road Beef.” Not only do they raise cattle, but they also manage the logistics of shipping their beef products nationwide. (Britt and her sister dreamed up this business so they could work together and pool their unique talents—a lifelong dream for both.) In 2020, the Fisk’s youngest child, Agnes, was born. Soon their baby daughter’s serious health issues became evident. Britt bravely walks us through what the first year looked like for dear Agnes—and her family. She shares about the many difficulties as well as the miracles and moments of hope. In addition to Agnes’s health challenges, Britt faced her own shocking news…news that would prevent her from being with Agnes during some of the baby’s most fragile times. But Britt’s journey is one of grace, strength and faith. Given these hard circumstances, many would have given up or become bitter. Britt, remarkably, reflects the opposite. Britt’s hope is that through these struggles she learns, grows, and can help others by telling her story. Letting go is key, though contrary to her caretaking nature. Her theme is clear: We cannot always control what happens to us in life, but we can control our response, choices and attitude. Sometimes when life is tough, it’s easy to ask: What’s the purpose in this? Why is this happening to me/us? Britt admits she doesn’t know all the “whys,” but bolstered by her faith and support of family and friends, she is learning you can endure, grow stronger and yes, even thrive. Get out your Kleenex. Your heart will be touched by Britt, Agnes and the Fisk family of Bell Road Beef.
