When the world feels unstable, start here!
In uncertain times, self reliance becomes a form of peace. Start small. Stay steady.

Flu season is showing up early this year.
Not panic — just awareness.
Your immune system deserves daily support.

Everyone wants the window marked “lifestyle change.”
Very few want to do what it actually takes to get there.
Urban homesteading isn’t trendy.
It’s daily choices. Home-cooked food. Making your own remedies.Stepping out of the line and into responsibility for your health.

The warmth of early fall has offered one last safe harvest — a gentle gift from the garden before the frost settles in. 🌞

Today it’s sage: gathered, washed, and hung to dry. Some leaves will find their way into soothing teas, others into tinctures for winter medicine.

Cooking from scratch is the heartbeat of every homesteader’s kitchen.
It’s where food becomes fuel and connection.
Each slice, stir, and simmer is a quiet act of love… a reminder that real nourishment comes from time, care, and simple ingredients.

It’s a return to roots, to flavor, to home.

I was nervous to travel alone to another country, but , it was just what the doctor ordered. I have a greater appreciation for the importance of learning about other cultures,
especially when what you see is an abundance of kindness and love. Thank you, Panama - Viva Panama!💙

💔 life is so short 💔

yesterday, i lost my friend and family member.
moments like this remind me just how fragile life truly is.

don’t wait to say i love you. don’t put off the hug, the call, the chance to sit down and share a story.
hug tighter. speak kinder. love louder.
