    I have dealt with severe anxiety, successfully and unsuccessfully, for my entire life. One of the main things I do to try and control the attacks is to have a sound and sturdy home foundation in that I know I am safe and in control. I feel that implementing some of the homesteading lifestyle has helped keep me steady in that I do feel safe here. I know what I have, what needs to be done and I have the systems in place to keep things going even when I am not able to function. It is peace of mind because I am prepared.

    I like Fruition Seeds in Naples, NY. I also buy from Seed Savers, Baker Creek and Strictly Medicinal.

    I am also having trouble with the Messages section. The bell notification at the top right tells me I have messages but then I chick on them and it takes me to the messages page but there are no messages displayed. I have tried also clicking on the Messages icon next to the bell and selected Inbox, but the same thing happens.

    I love saving seeds so I have a small etsy shop where I sell them. I also have regular egg customers. My husband tells me that I should start listing my knitted socks on etsy as well but I am on the fence about that. It may be the people I hang around with but everyone I know can make their own socks, mittens, etc. I didn’t think I would have any customers for that kind of thing. And, I would be paranoid over the quality – I would make them and think they were great and someone would get them and not like them.

  • This would be perfect for NY – extending the growing season and protecting my plants!

    I’m sorry to see you go. I know there are not many NY people here – not the best state for many reasons. But western NY and parts of Upstate are tryng to carve out places of autonomy. I wish you luck and I hope that you prosper!

    I really enjoyed this series as well. I am partial to book one but all provide great insights on how things would operate if things fell apart.
