As you’ve probably already noticed, I have a strong belief in the importance of personal and family preparedness. I’ve been in the place where there was none and it was almost disastrous. It sounds strange, but the prospect of homelessness and starvation changes people…I know! Go figure. Now, in my home, we are prepared to […]
Food Storage and Emergency Prep — Realistic Sustainability, Ltd.
Prepping. The word connotes to many the idea that we (preppers) are a bit like Chicken Little (you know… The Sky is Falling, The Sky is Falling). It used to be if you ‘prepped’ for something like the SAT, or a big dinner party, that was a good thing and the action was smiled upon. So how did it happen that we exchanged the “d” for an “r”, and suddenly those who prepare for the unknown are thought by many to be a few Fruit Loops short of a full box? Just something to think about.
In the meantime, I’d like to introduce you to one of our farm mascots and the ULTIMATE prepper…. Henri! Henri was hand raised after falling out of a tree onto an unsuspecting friend (who may or may not have screamed like a girl). Her mother was nowhere to be found, and she had no interest in returning to her nest despite attempts to place her there. I’ve worked with animals all my life, even having had a short career as a zoo keeper, and this is not my first rodeo squirrel raising experience. She was still young enough to need milk replacer, but was becoming of age to move on to more varied foods. She really thrived on a product called Ningxia Red, as well as other food supplements that baby squirrels need.
Today, she is about 7 months old, and is quite the #oilyfarmsquirrel / farm mascot. We have 6 very large dogs, and not only is she friends with them, she has also become part of their pack, and considers herself one of their own. See friends, …. animals have this down…. no matter their differences, ideologies, and predator vs prey status, it is possible to work out a friendship. Seems like since we have bigger brains than both squirrel or dog, our world ought to spin with a little more friendship and handshakes if we bypassed prejudices like we do out here on the farm :).
Henri was raised and released once she was old enough. She has chosen to live alongside us, and we are happy to accommodate her. Her presence has gifted us with additional smiles and quiet peace. She reminds us as only squirrels can:
We might have bigger brains and opposable thumbs, but we can still learn a lot from our four legged friends!

Almost everyone I know uses supplements to support healthy living.
But if I’ve learned one thing, it’s that supplements are not all created equal.
Quality matters.
Where the ingredients are sourced matters. How the supplement is made matters. Even the material of the bottle matters!
The amount of research, testing and quality control that goes into producing each and every one of Young Living’s supplements and nutrition products would wow you.
It’s why I turn to them for my supplements, and why I recommend you do so as well.

Hi there!
Thanks for choosing to find out what “this” is all about.
As a healthcare professional, my first thoughts are always “What is the current state of health of the people involved?” whenever a disaster strikes. As a fellow prepper, my husband and I have done our share of getting ready for whatever may come. We have our food, water, shelter, protection plan, and tangible asset management plans in place and are constantly updating them.
But who has a backup wellness plan in place? This is a problem, and a big one…. considering that over half of all adults in the United States has one or more chronic health conditions. We need to get back on our feet BEFORE disaster strikes and work towards wellness. I’d love to help you do that.
Some health issues simply can’t be prevented. When the poop hits the fan, what are you going to do about supporting weakened body systems if/when your normal resources are not available? If you’d like to hang around, I’ll be discussing natural ways to support our body systems and emotional health in weeks to come. Information can also be found throughout my website .
I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
