Homesteading Made Simple I Joyfully Prepared

Two Successes and a Failure (A Six-Week Update)

Listen Later
🌟 Highlights & takeaways
  • Celebrate the first one. My first commission check mattered far more than its size — proof I'm doing the thing God called me to do, even when it means leaving my "comfort hole."
  • A goal without a plan stalls. I could sew the jelly roll strips, but with no quilt pattern I had nowhere to go. Failure isn't the end — it shows you what you didn't know.
  • Find a mentor and a "hype man." A mentor would've saved me three weeks. We all need someone sincere to cheer us on.
  • Emergencies come singly. They're usually personal, not community-wide. Being prepared (water jugs, wipes, pool water, water for the animals) turned a 24-hour crisis into a manageable inconvenience.
  • Gratitude bridges the gap. Running water, hot showers, and flushing toilets sit at the top of my gratitude list for a reason.
  • Let people see you. The kindest gift is someone wanting to truly know you. Be brave enough to ask, and to be asked.
    • 💬 This week's challenge

    Is there someone you admire that you could simply ask, "Can I come visit you? I want to see you in your element and learn more about you." Imagine how much lovelier the world would be if we did more of that.
