Over the past few years I have managed to post reflections of the entire year. I apologize in advance for the length of this post. I had no idea how many steps we have taken this year in successfully living a more sustainable, morally earned lifestyle, removing nasty chemicals from our lives, learning more about natural remedies, herbal teas, and so much more. This lifestyle is not for everyone. Although splitting wood is both physically and mentally challenging (our source of heat), I would not trade it for a switch on the wall any day. And I could not have gotten this far without the partnership and support of my husband.
