It’s after midnight… I should be sleeping but instead I’m plotting and daydreaming.
I’ve been trying to quit my job since the first month I was hired but I get paid well for what I do and life’s challenges and tragedies had me stay put longer than I anticipated I could.
I’m longing for a simpler life with less financial overhead, more living off the land, creativity and likeminded community.
I have 2 indoor/outdoor cats that I’m not willing to part with.
I have basic experience with organic home gardening and caring for chickens. I can help with childcare, tutoring, homeschooling, cooking, gardening and am willing (and eager) to learn other homesteading/permaculture skills. I have experience bartering rent for nanny services and enjoyed living with families but having my own space to retreat to. I also have administrative, data entry, and personal assistant experience… I’m also a singer and songwriter.
I am willing to relocate for the right opportunity. (I’m not interested in any funny business or trade agreements that would compromise my value system.)
I don’t drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs… never have and never plan to.
Please purple mooseage me if you or someone you know is interested.
I’d also love to hear out of the box suggestions in planning and making my escape.
Second, congratulations on your second post. Thanks for sharing the pictures, so that we can see the project steps.
What was your motivation in choosing a keyhole garden as opposed to other designs?
I think living in community and offering a work exchange for rent on your land is a wonderful idea. I've found as a woman, it can provide an element of safety that I wouldn't get living alone and great to have people help with projects that you need and wouldn't be able or want to do alone.

I am looking into this now for my indoor/outdoor cats along with a stainless steel sifting litter box (SuzziPaws is the one I’ve read most about so far.)
I was trying to think what I could inexpensively upcycle as a makeshift litter box… stainless steel sink? They are pretty easy to find cheap or free. Large steamer pan with insert? Catering pan?
I plan on coming up with a solution this week.
Some reviews I’ve read of people who have used pine bedding as litter is that they do just put it back into the earth in their yard.
I have a few friends who could not get proper diagnosis for strange things that were happening all over and in their bodies. They are doing the Dr. Gundry’s recommended protocols.
I agree a pictorial representation of the comparison of the different diets would be great to see their similarities and differences.

Don't do that. It was way worse than no deodorant at all.
Like fermented aloe and arm pits.
The humorous joys of permie experimentation!
Some friends and i used this brand of Aloe deodorant for some time with good results. It rates a 4 on the Think Dirty app, so it’s not completely clean ingredients.
