I want to say one more thing about my thread this morning. Plans don't mean you have to have a big nest egg, a escape plan etc. You need to think about how to be in community, to think about mutual aid, to think about your circle and how you can help each other. Now, not later.Things are moving FAST

Following closely on this one 👀

Pls remember, keep one foot in front of the other. Focus on what you CAN change or take part in. I know it’s easy to get overwhelmed and sucked in by the🌪️ but focus on the debris in your community, focus on that “storm shelter”. We have to stay #proactive not reactive right now. #resilience #resist

Some new gardening blogs are coming, I promise. This week being week two has been like for the most of us, horrifying and fear inducing. But I’m checking in, saying hello, and reminding us all, it will be okay. Maybe not today, not tomorrow, not even 3 months from now. But we will endure.

Just a personal update on TGSC, I’ve nearly finished all branding ☺️. That’s the good news and bad news about being an artist, a lot of this I can do on my own. The bad news, being hypercritical of myself with a ton of second guessing. Can’t wait to share with you all.

We rise by helping each other.

Holding space for peace and tranquility, and giving thanks for the natural beauties that remind us that even when joy feels out of reach, Mother Earth will always offer a moment of solace. #homestead #gratitude #onedayatatime #holdspace #commUNITY #inhaleexhale

In times of uncertainty, it’s easy to fall into doom scrolling. This is exactly where they want us—disconnected and overwhelmed. While it’s important to stay aware, it’s just as vital to take healthy breaks for your mental well-being. Do something for yourself, step outside, and check on a neighbor.

Good morning from the snowy homestead. #homestead #southcarolinaSnow #snow

If the rat maze is made larger, and larger, they’ll continue to be distracted and focused on the finish line. News flash, there is no finish line.

100% just posted a video on the entire thing. Not so specific to the root. But it is us against a small few. The division is necessary for the their endgame. Until we realize we are the majority, this will continue. They prey on the desperate, and will perpetuate the hardships to keep control.

Sooner we realize it’s us who line their pockets, it’s us who put food on their tables, it’s us who keep the lights on, the sooner we are rich in every sense of the word. It is US as a huge collective against the few them. Build your communities TODAY. Our existence is resistance. #resist #together

A lot of the same conversations being had over here rn, too. I’m sure a lot can relate to this. One day at a time.

On MLK Day, we honor Dr. King’s vision of a world where people are judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. But true equality means acknowledging race and addressing systemic injustices. Let’s work towards a more inclusive future. #MLKDay #Equality #Justice #🩵🕊️

If anyone hasn’t started ‘the work’ yet, not a single day can be wasted, now. Ge involved locally, it’s time to build an awake and aware community with FACTUAL information. Not this MSM bending of the knee. Stay strong everyone 🩵🩵

One step closer. #Gardening #CommUNITY #SeedsforChange #theGetheredSeedCollective #growcommunity #homestead #localfarmers #foodsovereignty #agriculture

I’ve been battling a stomach bug and sensitivities for two weeks now. How I’d love to demolish something as hearty and full of flavor as your crockpot right now 😭

By saving seeds, growing naturally, and supporting local growers, we combat biomagnification at its root. Building a system of food that nourishes without harming is a priority for our future and our health. 🌾🍎 #GrowYourOwn #Biomagnification #EcoFriendlyLiving
