I love the spirit of this post.

She might enjoy thinking about various ways to make use of water from the rainfall/seasonal stream and possibilities for heat and cooking. Perhaps you could share about the rocket mass heater, rocket wood oven, and other forms of water storage/filtration.

It sounds like you have many wonderful adventures ahead. Hi back to your mom!

I'm not sure if it's available in your area, but Market Wagon fits the first part of your post. https://marketwagon.com

Short video about the concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2c6Y-O-_P0

Another short video from a vendor's perspective: https://youtu.be/xJq6hvQIXsE

Perhaps you could pitch some of your other ideas to them. =)

Local Harvest is another option: https://www.localharvest.org/store  

They both only hit the first note of your post.

I'll be following to see if there are other similar concepts.

Hi Jodie, I think it depends on what you mean by "baggage." I tend to think of "baggage" more in terms of "needs." It's okay to have needs.

For someone who takes care of themselves and makes a daily effort for well-being, then their needs/baggage are simply a part of who they are. Everyone has "baggage," even a toddler!

This often tends to be an endearing part about someone we love, because we all have our own challenges.

As an example, I've learned I need to limit my exposures to non-native EMFs and fragrances. This helps me function optimally and helped me restore long-lost health. For the right person, it's no big deal and something we can easily work around. For the wrong person, it's too much.

It helps to find someone with somewhat compatible needs. If they have experienced something similar (even tangentially), they might have more empathy around the situation. Either way, embracing our needs and taking good care of ourselves is a great foundation. You are already well on your way and a great match for someone special. I'm sending you love in the meantime.

I understand the temptations.

Before deciding, I would encourage you to peruse the Environmental Health Trust website. There is a substantial volume of peer-reviewed, published research demonstrating harm to wildlife, the environment, and human health: https://ehtrust.org/  

I have personally recovered from long-term radiation sickness. I did not realize for more than two decades it was playing a role in my chronic health conditions until I changed my life to distance myself from it. This was after many years and much expense in the medical system. I now sleep through the night after 20+ years of severe insomnia. My neurovascular conditions, skin rashes, cardiac arrhythmias, and GI inflammation also went into remission. My cat showed positive improvements as well.

Residents in Pittsfield, MA have been fighting a cell tower that became operational in 2020 after countless residents became sick. It is VERY difficult to remove a tower once it's been installed, as the company will likely fight back with powerful litigation teams of their own. Also, residents closest to the tower said they did not even benefit from increased coverage, as the umbrella of cell reception went over their homes. They may have been closer than what you are considering, but I wanted to share as food for thought.

More info on that case: https://ehtrust.org/cease-and-desist-order-against-verizon-cell-tower-by-board-of-health-pittsfield-ma/

From the article, "The negative health symptoms the affected residents have reported include complaints of headaches, sleep problems, heart palpitations, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, nausea, skin rashes, and memory and cognitive problems, among other medical complaints.

“The evidence presented to the Board includes well over one thousand peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies which consistently find that pulsed and modulated RFR has bio-effects and can lead to short- and long-term adverse health effects in humans…Credible, independent peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies show profoundly deleterious effects on human health, including but not limited to: neurological and dermatological effects; increased risk of cancer and brain tumors; DNA damage; oxidative stress; immune dysfunction; cognitive processing effects; altered brain development, sleep and memory disturbances, ADHD, abnormal behavior, sperm dysfunction, and damage to the blood-brain barrier.”

Regardless of your decision, here are some helpful resources for anyone seeking to mindfully lower their exposures to Electromagnetic Radiation and Wireless Radiofrequency Radiation: https://ehtrust.org/resources-to-share/printable-resources/

Incorporating those changes has made a world of difference for my health. Best of luck to you all.

You know you've made a good post when someone (me!) makes an account to be able to respond.  

I'll send you a "mooseage" ... we have very similar hopes for this true quality of life.
