I just joined permies.com today and am extremely excited about it!
I have been struggling real hard to get a start on a
sustainable lifestyle without having a clue where to begin. I've been a day late and a dollar short for a long time now. I am currently playing the roll of the brother living a jeep in my sisters driveway in Southern NH.
For over 2 years now I've read, watched videos, heard stories and even imagined my own homestead living. I always seem ready to start go and be proactive about what i want to do but i end up feeling alone among the people i know and love about my ideas and fall into the trap and sadness that comes along with an electric bill a grocery bill heating and gas prices.
winter is right around the corner and am ready again to go and be happy working for a better life. I know homesteading is extremely hard and i am aware of the risks but i want the hard work and take the risks doing what i know is right for me. i have never dreamed of something as long as i have been about one thing in my life until i came across the idea of sustainable living. i sleep with the thoughts of it and wake with them. Its like i in love.
I know all of you who read this want to say to me " JUST GET UP AND GO!" and i will. but, i still feel alone.
What i hope to accomplish from this first posting of mine is a chance to network and get ideas where to begin when you have nothing but ideas and the dream of a new start.
thank you all for reading
