I have a busy life with a job I enjoy and a family I love. What could possibly be missing?
As I explored my feelings I came to realize that I was missing a connection, somewhere...to something... The more I thought about it, the more I found myself wondering what life would be like if I made an effort to pull away from the consumer-mania that is our society and worked towards something a bit more old fashioned. I am in no way planning to live off the grid but as I began to research Urban Homesteading, Simple Living and Self Sufficiency I felt a yearning to be a part of something more than the usual seller/purchaser transactions I am usually in.
I am going to turn my flat, grassed backyard in to a vegetable garden - and then I am going to try my hand at home canning. At least that is my plan!
