You know when you “know” but you don’t really, really know until you get that ah-ha moment of deeper insight?
That’s what happened to me the other day as I thought about who I was hanging out with - online.
I’m a gardener now … because
I realized that I had such an amazing garden last year because I was hanging out with Jessica and Jeremiah Sowards of Roots & Refuge Farm.
I wasn’t a gardener before I “met them”, even though it was just through watching their videos. I definitely was a gardener, after! I chose well.
Virtually Hanging Out
Every day I would watch one of the Roots & Refuge videos.
Every day I would see the Sowards in their gardens, checking on the plants, caring for them, weeding them, planting them, harvesting them.
Every day I was inspired to do the same.
Every day I went into my garden and did garden stuff - and that’s how I became a gardener.
Distractions
There are so many distractions in life, especially on social media.
I could have spent my time hanging out with non-gardeners.
I could have been enticed by dangling carrots (not the garden variety) and wandered off my path of wanting to grow my own food.
I could have walked a completely different life last year.
But I didn’t.
Build Your Community
Every day, I get to choose who I hang out with.
I get to choose who I want to be inspired by and who I want to emulate in some way.
I get to choose my mentors.
I get to choose who I connect with, in some way, to help me stay focused on my goals, on my vision board, on how I want to live my life.
Homesteadian.com
And, every day, I hang out at Homesteadian.com with a community of people who are all on that journey of living a more self-sufficient and community-sufficient lifestyle.
Thank YOU for hanging out with me today! Thank YOU for inspiring me and helping me to stay on my path of living a simpler life. - Debbie
