I am rooted all the way in Michigan, but just wanted to commend you on the amazing life it seems you’re building over there in SD.

What a thoughtful, detailed post you’ve written! I wish you much joy and success in finding all of which you seek ❤️
What part of Michigan do you reside in? You look extraordinarily familiar.
Just wanted to revive this thread and see if anyone new contributes!

Also let everyone know there are some pretty great conversations happening in the Washtenaw permaculture group! You can find us on meetup.

You changed my perspective on sunchokes entirely. Now I can even relate to them- what you said resonates, for sure.

I still don’t know if I’d want to eat them, though. They don’t get along well with my tummy.

I’m not sure what exactly I’m searching for, but I know I’m not content with where I am. There’s a longing for something deeper, something more intentional. I’ve walked this path before, seen the same routines, the same empty answers. I’m still searching for my tribe—the people who understand what it means to live with purpose.

I might not have the perfect words to describe who I am, but I believe that’s something best discovered through conversation. If you’re someone who wants to connect on a real, human level, to explore what’s beyond the surface, let’s chat.

I know all humans are evil. Some work on themselves to overcome it. But all - as in 100% - are controlled by their thoughts , feelings , and emotions until they begin to realize they never created a single thought of their own. Ever notice how they just appear out of nowhere?

It seems to me, beginning here, and then only developing depth with the few who are clearly working on themselves, will at least be less heartache.

Also, the chatter of getting to know (you never truly know another person ) someone, is essential in discovering early what kind of person you're speaking to. Are they a yes man? Realistic or naive? What "triggers" them, what interests them...
Etc

You have the rest of your life to spend with a good man. Take time now, before you get too involved, to make sure you're actually dealing with one, instead of a Temu-knockoff version, or a sociopath who knows how to conceal it while feeding your optimism.

What a world we live in!

All the best!



That person was not the right person for me. I need a provider with shared interests and goals. He ended up being a child who wanted a mommy. Then ended up being a stalker. I already raised two amazing children. I would rather have my solitude.

You could try Michigan :) there’s a pretty cool group of historic preservationists here.

An uptick in activity has me wanting to make an update: Happy to report that I finally found what I am looking for. My tribe and my person.



Welp. Still have the tribe. The person ended up taking their mask off. So I guess that means I’m still a permies single….

Connection despite differences. Showing up in this world with kindness and intention. Service to others. Sunshine and clean air. Smiling.
