Our Book
This is a memoir of our lives and sometimes risky decisions. We relate our early years, meeting and raising kids, and building the farm, the organic movement and a healthy community. We didn’t always go along with what most Americans were doing, especially in the areas of diet and health care, employment, debt and consumerism, energy use, and culture. In this book we explain what we did, why we did it, and how it turned out. We hope it is both entertaining and helpful to people wanting to fashion a purposeful life.

It is fascinating what is coming to light regarding what is happening beneath our feet.

Stephen Harrod Buhner- “Healing Lyme”
It is all about herbs, it seems, and plants. Buhner puts it this way. The microbes, folks like Lyme spirochetes, have been around for 15-20 million years. And plants predate them with a history of at least 700 million years on earth. Now we folks have only been at it for 300,000 years. Because of…

Developing our Gratitude
Donna Eden, who I mention here from time to time, is a long term mentor of mine. First introduced to her work through her bestselling book, “Energy Medicine” https://www.amazon.com/Energy-Medicine-audiobook/dp/B01F5WHFRS/ref=sr_1_2?crid=O4RGHU9RUQGW&keywords=Energy+Medicine&qid=1642251298&sprefix=energy+medicine%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-2 I have watched and followed her videos and free online exercises for several years, despite occasional rolled eyes from Jack. A couple of weeks ago she offered 10…
