Is this you?

You and I both want to know if you are in the right place – and this is where we're going to find out. Here are 8 ways to know if you are the kind of person who might enjoy reading this blog. 

4 Things about you, your family, and sustainable living...

• You go out of your way to feed your family real, nourishing food. You know that what you choose to eat influences how we use the world. 
• You care, deeply, about the world we're leaving behind. You want your children and grandchildren to inherit a world of healthy soil and clean air, teeming oceans and wild tigers, and intact communities where the pace is slow and people laugh a lot. 
• You want to raise children who can think for themselves; you understand that personal sovereignty is a key to being able to treat others with compassion (as opposed to feeling the need to defend, attack, or exploit).
• You're committed to developing/practicing useful skills. You prefer to care  for yourself and your family without using wasteful, toxic products, and without relying on experts and institutions who think they know better than you do what's good for your family.
  
  

4 Things about you personally...

• Strong relationships, a sense of purpose and self-reliance, and a connection to nature are in your recipe for happiness and fulfillment. Faster screens, owning more stuff, or impressing your friends on Facebook, are not.
• You want to live a life designed by you, based on real values, not a life that's prescribed for you by the quick-fix culture that surrounds us.
• You're into some degree of self-reflection, possibly a large degree. You understand that change begins within and you want support to "be the changes that you want to see in the world."
  
• Sometimes you feel lost, overwhelmed, lonely, disconnected, mad, scared, hurting, or all of the above and then some — because you know in your bones that something is deeply wrong with the consumption-driven, industrialized, digitized narrative we're inhabiting  and you're not always sure what to do about it.
  

On the other hand if that description was close to the mark then you and I have a lot to talk about. If that's the case, I sincerely hope you'll join me as a subscriber.
