Have you ever eaten dandelions?
When I was little, my grandmother would send me out to the yard to pick dandelion leaves. After I brought them in, we’d put them in a large bowl and soak them in salt water, rinse, and then soak them again, and then soak them again (because third time is the charm), and then rinse well, making sure to get all the grit out.
When foraging outside, it’s important to pay attention to where the greens are located. For example: are they close to the road where car exhaust could adversely affect them? This time, I only had to venture to the back porch because this year, my husband made a planter with dandelions for me. Keep reading

Now that I am no longer watching ANY propaganda—whoops!—mainstream media, I have so much free time to fill with learning and doing new things!
I found Brooke Whipple’s YouTube channel, Girl in the Woods, and I love it.
Why do I love it? Let me count the ways:
I tested it with my one word for this year by asking, “Does this ALIGN with my values?” Freedom? Check. Being brave? Check. Getting outside? Check.
Also, one of the absolute best ways to get out of your head (read: anxiety producing thoughts) is to ground yourself in your body, and one of the best ways to do that is to get outside and be in nature.
So in addition to being able to pretend I am out in the woods alone building a cabin, I also am learning a lot exactly what skills are needed for this. You know, just in case I ever decide to be brave and actually do it! Keep reading

I decided to treat you all to some stream of consciousness thoughts I had this evening.
I was thinking about how so much of what I was taught in school turned out not to be true. Actually, this is an understatement, because not only was this information not true, it was in fact the opposite of truth.
I began thinking about Fauci (I am sure you have heard of him. If not, turn on any mainstream news channel and you probably hear his name and opinions ad nauseum). Fauci, in my view, is doing his best to ruin our country. Keep reading

I have figured out how to listen to the local and national news broadcasts, most of the local and national politicians, and have it make sense.
You see, I have been wondering for weeks, months, years, why so much of what I saw and heard was happening in the world just didn’t make sense to me. Why does the government get to just take so much of the money that I’ve made over the entire course of my working years? If I just took money from others it would be called ‘stealing’. When the money was taken from me via my paycheck it was called ‘taxes’. Keep reading

It’s not your fault if you are afraid.
Everything you have experienced in your life up to this point has was designed to make you feel this way. Powerless. Scared. Maybe even despairing. Hiding in your home. Afraid to go out. Afraid to go to work.
Or, maybe you are one of the people who has decided to rat out your fellow citizens. To spy on them and tell on them. Your friends and neighbors. People you used to like, maybe. You are doing this in the name of “the greater good”, feeling virtuous because you think you are keeping everyone “safe”. You’ll show them. Keep reading
