Love this conversation. I am doing my best to approach food shortages through the lens of mind, body and soul. This means I ask how am I growing, nourishing and tending all aspects of Self. I am working hard to stay feeling sustained within so that I am walking from a place of inner abundance. This means I am equally working my butt off…
Love this conversation. I am doing my best to approach food shortages through the lens of mind, body and soul. This means I ask how am I growing, nourishing and tending all aspects of Self. I am working hard to stay feeling sustained within so that I am walking from a place of inner abundance. This means I am equally working my butt off to learn and slowing down to simply swim and enjoy the seasons.
My biggest efforts are in building community. It is my belief that if I have solid relationships within 30 minutes of home that in an emergency we will have eachother's back. This could be a storm, a fire, or birth or death of a loved one. The relationships are key.
I am homeschooling. The system doesn't work for me, I don't believe in it and so I am defying the odds as a single mom, entreprenuer and ensuring I commit to quality connection with my son. I work hard to give back what I take in the community by organizing events and gatherings. I put in time and money to be with women who light me and my son up so we can grow and thrive together.
I am building buying power with like minded women when it comes to food. I can't grow everything on my little property but in using my organizational skills I can contribute and participate in collective buying. This supports my local farmers, ensures I have surplus to can, freeze, and enjoy.
I am learning new skills. The kitchen is still foreign to me in many ways but every week I learn a new skill, try a new way to love and live with food and bring my son along for the ride. I am working hard to diversify storage methods so that if power goes out long term I am not only at mercy of a generator for a freezer. I have a long term goal of root cellar.
I am making medicine. I can't grow a lot where I live but I can grow medicines. I love plants this nourishes my soul, offers a teaching opportunity for those wanting to do it themselves and means I have something to barter or give to my community in crisis.
I am heavily focused on what I am co-creating. I wish to create new ways of being, not just run or fight systems that are outdated. I am always thinking ancestrally and with reciprocity in mind. I am focusing on the micro, I trust the ripples are holding space for the macro. I am committed to being fully alive. Its hard work somedays. really hard, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

This is beautiful, Tawny. Profound and powerful.
