Well this post is a little unusual in that I did not in any part contribute to the main body of it. I do not know how I found this web site or the articles but I am so thankful that I did. I have been saying for the last 6 years to my husband that this is how our world should be. Last year we grew a one acre garden and told several neighbours to just come and get what they needed. We even went as far as to say don`t come an knock on my door to ask for it, just go pick what you need. Then come for a visit. They would try to pay us and my husband said to one of them, Your money is not worth anything to me. The gentleman looked puzzled and my husband explained there will be many things I need a hand with, I will give you a call when that time comes.
Below please find a link to an amazing web site with so many inspirational stories.

What can we all do to make a difference? I truly believe that within the next 10 years we will not be wanting to work towards this but it will be an essential survival skill. Growing food, raising animals, cooking, all those basic and now old fashioned skills.
