Living Life Together
With all the troubles we’re seeing in the world right now, I believe co-housing is becoming more of a necessity for life. And the manner in which we live can make or break us. Therefore, I think we all need to be wise in deciding where & with whom we choose to abide and how we choose to live there. Where to Shelter Ourselves We all need safe shelter. I personally think it’s unwise to dwell in densely populated areas, because I believe they are danger zones when trouble strikes on a societal level. (I prefer to steer clear of them anyway because I think much of the world has…

The Locking Up of the System
I often use the term “System” to refer to the mainstream way of doing things in our country, and I believe the backbone of that System is the Economic system with money being its lifeblood — not “cash”, but rather “money”, which is comprised of fiat currency, both in paper & coinage form and in digital form. This is what makes the System-at-large operate. Well, the writing is on the wall, and it has been for quite some time. The System is on the cusp of locking up…again. And it’s going to be devastating. PLEASE, do something to safeguard yourself as best as possible. Subscribe to Keeping It Real If you’d…

A Quiet Revolution
Let’s face it. [Keeping It Real] Most of us were raised in an environment where our housing, utilities, food, energy, transportation, healthcare & communications were all provided for us in exchange for money. Very few of us, I think, inherited our housing. (I didn’t.) We more than likely had to acquire it with money. And then we all have to keep paying money to keep it. While some have their own well water & septic systems, most rely on municipalities for these services in exchange for money. And most buy the majority of their food and pay for electricity and/or gas/oil to power & heat their homes. And this is…

I Must Express Myself
For a while now, I’ve been feeling frustrated because I have so much on my mind that I believe is meaningful, yet I feel like I have no one to express those thoughts to (besides those within my own household, who are probably sick to death by now of hearing it all). Generally speaking, I feel like many people don’t want to hear what’s on my mind because I spend a lot of time thinking about reality. And frankly, I think most people don’t like having to face it. But I think there are those who are concerned about the realities of life — particularly those that affect them personally,…

The System Is Headed for Disaster
Inflation is going to continue to rise. Job layoffs are going to continue to happen. Small businesses are going to continue to close. Bills are going to continue to pile up. And at some point, the whole banking/monetary system is going to come to a screeching halt. And when it does, it will be catastrophic. If you don’t believe me, investigate the matter for yourself. But understand: the mainstream media lies and so do the politicians and the central banksters. Please read Gregory Mannarino’s article, The Global Debt Market Time Bomb Is Close to Going Off. If you don’t understand how our banking/monetary system actually works, ordinarily I would recommend reading The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin and watching The Corbett…

A Man with a Guitar & a Message
Have you seen/heard the red-bearded man singing his song, Rich Men North of Richmond yet? He goes by the name Oliver Anthony online, but his real name is Chris, and he lives in Farmville, VA. He’s not a professional musician, he’s just a man with a guitar and a message. If you haven’t watched & listened to it yet, please do so now. [WARNING: Contains foul language.] (Feel free to listen to it again…and again.) What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Here’s mine…

Independence Day? Land of the Free?
Hardly. It never was free. Everyone is too busy serving their money god from Kindergarten to grave. Dog eat dog. Climb the ladder. More money more money more money. Vote for freedom. Wait for Jesus to fix it. Work for the banker’s currency so they can have their infinite hot checks to write. Give me a break. I am just tired of it.

Creating a Domain in the Real World
In recent years the Powers-That-Shouldn’t-Be in this world have been shoving us all into the virtual realm, whether we like it or not. And frankly, I don’t like it. I was already quite a bit behind the times, technologically speaking –– as I’m typing this post on a hard-wired desktop computer hooked up to a printer/copier/fax machine that’s nearly two decades old. (And my wired landline telephone is stationed just around the corner, with another extension linked to an answering machine.) While I was on the cutting edge of web-design-from-scratch and the blogosphere nearly twenty years ago, I have failed miserably at keeping up with the latest & greatest of…

How Do I Manage It All?
Housekeeping and Raising a Family I’m grateful to have found FLYLady over twenty years ago after I moved in with my husband and became an instant stepmom. FLYLady helped me overcome the CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome) in my home and realize that taking care of it all was a demonstration of Finally Loving Yourself. While I have gleaned a lot of great things from my exposure to FLYLady’s philosophy & customizable routines, I have not always been very consistent in my efforts to stay on top of keeping house while raising a family over the years. That’s because I took on more than just managing a house &…

Freeze Dryer Oil Pump Quandary
I’m just now finishing up my 40th batch of freeze drying with my Harvest Right freeze dryer, and I’m still loving it. 🙂 However, I have the Premier Oil Pump, which needs to have the oil changed every 20-25 uses, and I’ve been in a state of quandary as to how to manage the oil related to it.
