PRAY, LEARN, ACT

We, the People, used to grow/raise our own food and ferment or preserve it. Now, most of us are at least two generations from knowing how to produce and preserve our own food.

Keeping My Word

I promised I would share the gifts the universe brought to me when I asked for help. Today I want to share Christopher Maher, my soul brother. I met him in 2006 when I was looking for help with my son, Joshua.  Joshua was always angry.  I heard that this man, Chris, had a way of stretching […]
