A New Direction

It begins with an idea.  I was out of work….for a year and a half…and had no idea how to gain an edge to get a job.  So I made a decision and went back to school.  Being the environmental worrier that I am I chose ‘Energy and Environmental Management’.  I excelled at the courses and had a great deal of fun until the Algebra monster rose up and nipped me in the hinny.  Algebra is my kryptonite.  I fought through it as well as I could and then one day (after going to school for 2 years) in a burned out state, I stopped and asked myself why I was doing this to myself. 

By this point I was successfully employed in a job for a year, in a wonderful relationship with an amazing future ahead, and that future was not in sync with what I was studying.   So…change of plans.  I’m shifting my education to sustainable homesteading.  Not a lot out there for classes.  So this will be a self study project.  My goal is to help my my guy and his family to restore an old farm to new life.  This blog will be about my experiences both good and bad over the next few years.  Hang on folks, here we go!
