Hi there,
I'm Rachel. I am creating a life of beauty here in a rural part of the Ozarks. I have my two small children growing it with me, and we are ready for our Co-Creator to dream and build with into something grander.

I am a visionary, and I don't let challenges stop me. However, in this life I am wearing too many hats and come up against my limits frequently. The kind of creation I yearn for takes two, and that is what I'm praying for.

Some of the values I most esteem:
honesty, humility, lightheartedness, sovereignty, discernment, health-consciousness, spirtual connection, commitment, compassion, conviction, creativity, adaptability, grit, perseverance, hardwork, generosity, playfulness, resourcefulness, curiosity, balance, vision, humor, and a sense of wonder.

To give more detail, some of the projects I have done here are: planting food forests, shaping raised garden rows and building rich soil with mycelium and countless truckloads of woodchips, planting perennial herbs, flowers, and brambles everywhere, built high tunnel and wood heated greenhouse, set up rain catchment and off grid watering, compost toilet, food preservation, etc.
I also homeschool my kids and run my own business.

But there is so much more I dream of doing with the right person. I would like to move towards an off grid life. Complete the root cellar, dig ponds, create a greywater oasis, set up alternative energy, build a cob house and dug out greenhouse, plant a living fence, grow a family, and always keep creating! This life is as beautiful as we can make it. With the in-spiration to Co-Create with God, it is all the energy needed to keep going forward and to build a bright future in spite of the darkness out there.

I don't date. I wait for the One and nothing less. I'm of the belief that there is an unmistakable stirring in one's soul when they find their correct match, and a lot of that comes from seeing their eyes. You just know.

Love what you've done (your projects). Similar interests here.
Recently widower (6 months) and not looking to get serious (married), at least for a year. But I want to sell my Florida house and relocate. Been looking in WV because I like the country and peaceful living. It also gives me the opportunity to build. Here I need permits for everything... and I had to tear my porch down because it wasn't totally up to code. Bolony, I said... and I'm outta here. I lived in Kirsville for a year and loved it. People are super welcoming. Went by last summer and it has changed A LOT.
Like you I'm praying for a new life also. I want kids, cows, chicken, etc., but mostly a good woman to share God's beauty (the greenery and peace) with.
I'm all in on this one: "But there is so much more I dream of doing with the right person. I would like to move towards an off grid life. Complete the root cellar, dig ponds, create a greywater oasis, set up alternative energy, build a cob house and dug out greenhouse, plant a living fence, grow a family, and always keep creating! "
I love that you say "Co-Create with God" because I'm religious, though non denominational. I pray all the time, even in the john. God's with me wherever I go.
What I do? I'm retired. I retired early to take care of my wife, but her Muscular Dystrophy took her life little by little, and checking on here one cold morning she was gone.
I started College upon retiring, though and now in my 3rd year of Software Development I have accomplished a project that nobody else has. Not ready to go public yet. I'll tell you later about that.
Funny you said "I don't date." Me neither. There are a lot of restaurants/bars and dancing places where a live, and the only thing I go out to is the gym... and church once in a while.
Talk to you later kiddo.
 
You are HERE! The other map is obviously wrong. Better confirm with this tiny ad:
It's a bit like "run away to the circus" but with gardening
