 Humble Beginnings

Being prepared and self-sufficient is a new journey for me, yet one that seems so natural. Whether it's global warming, cataclysmic disasters, terrorism, or economic turmoil, isn't as important as the deeper understanding that being prepared is absolutely essential as we walk through these fragile times. 

We have the most extraordinary opportunity to see what we're really made of, what we're really capable of. We have been blessed with great teachings and a love so grand and unfathomable-these will be the fertile ground and precious water for the seeds of our future. We truly are preparing for the unknown, in a more profound way than we ever thought. This inspires me greatly.

When I took stock of my life and my cupboards I was reminded that being prepared is not just about all the "stuff" that one may need, but the state of mind one is in. While this isn't news, it's easy to get caught up in the 'have to get' part, forgetting about the 'being' part, which is first and foremost.

 I am inspired, and have a very inquisitive mind, and a deep commitment to the Great Work. But I'm not an expert.  I chose to share my journey in this blog format because many people are just beginning too, or are starting over, and may benefit from what I uncover along the way, both from a practical as well as inspirational perspective.

There are so many wise and wonderful voices out there, rich from life experience, experts in different areas, passionate about many things. I want to draw upon the gifts of our community both near and far, to educate, inspire, and support each other in our efforts.

As I evolve so will this blog. Visit often. We're all in this together. I welcome your feedback, ideas, wisdom and humor.

May we be inspired and motivated to our greatness. It's time.
