Hey there. Thank-you for your kind words. Good for you...it is a process that can take many years. I don't think any of us could claim that it was quick or easy...and post of us still have connections to it to some degree. But I think the most important focus is the ability to eist without it. I started teaching an urban homesteaders program this year as I see so often...people think homesteading starts with moving off grid. But it's a journey that starts wherever we are and it can mean so many different things. Absolutely...and even if they aren't thankful...you have enriched their lives regardless. And, this is a wonderful place to be conected as you deepen your skills to provide for yourself and your family. Bravo.
