Just introducing myself :)

Looking for work in exchange for living/learning, intention communities or anything similar

I have no set time or place to be anywhere! I am looking to experience… beauty. Both in location and in people. If you think I’d be a good fit for you/your farm, feel free to let me know!

Southern hospitality and values. NYC mentality and hustle. Wise beyond my years and very intuition heavy/in tune. Huge personality, outgoing. Very sweet, a people pleaser and very easy to get along with until I sense BS!!

I will give the shirt off of my back! I have the biggest heart you’ll ever find in someone so tiny 😅. Those that are… in tougher spots than I am will always have my respect and heart, I’ve been through it all with no help. So I understand…. The value and the need for a helping hand once in a while.

Fiesty, very different. Brutally honest. I’ve lived a lot of life in a short span of time, I’ve got a degree in life. In communication, solitude…. In understanding and enjoying the small things. In the luxury of silence…. In understanding unspoken emotions…. In pushing boundaries just enough to make a breakthrough…. I’m taking care of mind body and soul and encouraging others to do the same through positivity and truth. But also in pain, despair. In picking yourself up over and over again.

Raised separately by one parent that was street smart (my mom) and one that was a professor (my dad), so I’ve got book and street smarts. Abandoned by both sides when I didn’t want to accept abuse or their religions/ideals. Now I’m just… wandering and soul searching for a bit.

I prefer for people to have/use their common sense/ people sense.... people sense meaning just knowing how to communicate properly it makes life a lot smoother.

I'm an open book, as long as questions are asked with respect w/o judgement. Looking to be treated with respect always, I will do the same. I look forward to meeting you and helping however I can

My family in North Carolina has run farms /grown herbs for many many years. Our oldest active farmer being 99

We are very into holistic health and spirituality… being indigenous people.

Very into quilting, canning, drying herbs. Juicing, cooking, making tinctures. Can help with housework as well. Anything that involves growth, dirt and our hands I’m very artsy, very creative especially when it comes to hospitality. Very uncanny ability for marketing without a degree.

I have a love for our planet. A love for genuine people and a love for seeing and helping things grow. I love all animals. All living things really, except snakes…

What a lovely introduction! I can hear the spoken cadence and rhythm of an uncle of mine, who was not originally from the Great White North. I still think of him: even when we disagreed on the content of an issue his method of addressing it gave me a new perspective.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to permies Simone.  I hope you can find a right place to fit where you feel respected and safe and where you can share your knowledge and skills.

Thank you for the warm welcome as I read my post out loud I realized it did in fact have a rhythm to it

Thank you Riona I really appreciate you taking the time to welcome me and help manifest exactly what I am seeking!

Thank you for being beautiful in the world and contributing beautiful things!

Being willing to release those who provide toxicity is a powerful skill and place. Especially from parents. I am well versed in that journey and am grateful for others navigating that delicate dance. And grateful to have a father who is beautiful and supportive and willing to traverse the ‘broken’ that can happen in relationships/being human to be in a greater place of understanding. He says to me, our family is not blood, it is who supports us and walks with us. Here is to your people coming into your beautiful world to support and love you in mutual harmony!!
