I actually have a copy of Gaia's Garden, but it was a workshop that I attended on permaculture principles that really started making sense to me. The instructor was talking about thinking of your home

Saw this on SteemitBC's Slack channel. Thanks for the recommendations. I've barely got a toe into permaculture, but I've been fascinated by its principles for years.

I'm so glad to see the community growing!

Oh, this is crazy! I've never understood why anyone would flag another's content for personal reasons or simply because it's not content that they like. If you don't like somebody's post, then just ignore

Yes! And the thing is, even if I were filthy rich, I would not like the idea of my money being used so inefficiently. That's as bad a government! And don't get me started on how many people will sign up

I never cease to be amazed by your agility and talent. Thanks for sharing!

And even an experienced gal like me had no idea that you could eat rose of Sharon flowers. They don't actually grow well here in Texas, but I have family on the east coast where they grow beautifully.

I mostly unschooled both of my children (now 13 and 18), and this was exactly the kind of valuable learning from living that I found to be the most instructive than any other method. It's how kids learn

Thanks for this. There are a few here that I'm going to be adding to my daughter's pile of books to read. She's also homeschooled, as was her brother. Really thoughtful write-up!

I recently got into a conversation with someone about how there are no good cops. The nature of their job is to enforce laws against regular people, even when those laws are unjust. As such, no cop can

Oh, cool! Thanks for the heads up!

I share your opinion about most big charities. I understand they have staffing, cost, etc, and that part of the money that we donate has to go to keeping the costs covered; however, when I start looking

Looking gorgeous, Karen! I love seeing people's gardens.

Sounds intriguing, as my herbalist consultancy accepts cryptocurrency. I'll be keeping my eye out for further details!

Looks like he chose the wrong guy to impersonate. Bravo to you for quickly figuring out who did this. I saw this guy on chat a time or two. He's a right dick.

Just getting back into gear from a few weeks away from Steemit, and two of my chat pals are going through a rough spell! I am so sorry that this is happening to you. I'm keeping the faith that you can

Oh my goodness! I break from Steemit for a few weeks (will post on that soon), and find that one of my Steemit pals went down on his luck! I'm so sorry, Venus! I'm no whale, but you can always have my

Lol, oh my! Congratulations? ;)

Thank you for the follow, and for sharing a little of your experience with healing naturally! There's a lot of power in taking control over your own health.
