We don't all have the same beliefs. We don't all have the same opinions.
But under our differences we share the same values.
That's what builds strong communities.
That's what builds resiliency.
That's how you get through hard times.
You find your tribe.
This month at our Southeast Alabama Community Meet and Greet we talked about growing potatoes. Curing onions. Imposter syndrome. Anxiety. Chicken tractors. Pressure canners. Snakes and other predators. Stray dogs.
Pride in our accomplishments.
We brought things to trade and share.
There is a seat at our table for everyone. Even if you don't have chickens. Even if you kill more plants than you save. Even if you only get one carrot out of your whole garden 😉.
If you're in the area and interested in joining in next month, reach out to me.
Find your tribe.
We're finding ours.

Before and after pictures of my latest litter and a lesson in going with what works
Mama wasn't caring for them in the nesting box. So I took it out. And this is the difference 12 hours later. She made a new nest, pulled fur, cleaned them and fed them. Seeing this today made me so happy.

It's something that everyone seems interested in. I'm part of a trade circle on FB and it was actually started by a more liberal minded metaphysical shop owner.
The group exploded in numbers and all walks of life.
There probably are too few people on here right now, but definitely something that will attract numbers in the future.

Kind of. I'm part of a trade circle on FB in my area and it blew up. Over a thousand members in less than a month. It's super active and something everyone is interested in right now. There are people from all walks of life on there meeting up and trading goods and services.
It's really the only reason I get on that platform anymore.

2023-05-09 11:34:23

Are people interested in using Nostr for local trade? Locality could be determined through hashtags.

I like this little dude. He's got a good personality. He likes to snuggle. He greets me every morning when I feed the rabbits. And he's got these cool violet eyes.
And in a few weeks I'll take his life to sustain mine. Or my dog's.
Until you are raising your own animals, until you are looking in their eyes every day, until you take their lives to sustain yours...there's a level of appreciation there that might be unmatched.

There's info on how to make wine and beer, how to use different methods to preserve foods, a section on herbal remedies, recipes for natural home cleaning and personal care....and so much more.
It's awesome. I'm in love.

I don't do overwhelm.
It's embarrassing but I got this phrase from a free webinar Matthew McConaughey helped put together. I put the audio on the other day when I was driving to the doctor, more curious than anything, and the woman who was speaking said this sentence.
I decided to try to use it in my life since getting overwhelmed is my go-to-state.
And it helps. It's so cool. I start to get overwhelmed, say the magic sentence, and it centers me and brings me back to reality.
Saying "I don't" instead of "I can't" is empowering.
And, the thing is, you can custom the sentence to your need. I don't do blank. I don't do sugar. I don't do carbs. I don't do guilt.
Anything.
It's pretty cool. Especially since it came from a cheesy self-help webinar.

Part of doing what you love is admitting what you don't love.
I don't love gardening.
It's too much pressure for me.
I know a lot of people love it. I know in the homesteading/preparedness/self-sufficiency circles it is a big thing.
But I don't like it. It doesn't bring me joy.
It took me a long time to realize I don't have to love gardening.
It took me longer to stop trying to force myself to love it.
So this is my "garden," minus a couple tomato seedlings I planted way too late for the Southern planting zone I'm in.
This brings me joy.
And now, instead of trying to force myself to love something I don't, I can become better at what I love.

Anyone want to take a guess as to what this plant might be?
Every fall I plant seeds thinking I will remember what I planted.
Every spring I forget.

This little furry looking lichen is called usnea. You can find it growing on trees and branches that have fallen in your yard. It can be used to make tinctures that have antibiotic and antifungal properties. It has also been packed directly into wounds because it helps keep infections away. Keep your eyes open for this guy if you're foraging because he's definitely a plant you want to have in your alternative medicine arsenal.
