I've always been a 'what if' kind of gal.
What if the electricity goes out for a week?
What if there's a national shortage of food?
What if I was stranded in the middle of nowhere and had to live off the land?
This is not to say that I think these things will necessarily happen, although anything is possible. Rather, I enjoy thinking about what I would do in these situations. Reflecting on these possibilities has made me realize that I lack many of the skills that I would like to have. I want to learn how to build furniture, how to make my own clothes, how to grow, preserve and cook my food.
Wanting to learn is only the start of the process -- it's time for me to act. This blog will chronicle my journey, but it will also help me to reflect on the way that this knowledge is changing my life. Although it is not my intention to have this blog focus on my life story, I am sure that some of my past will crop up from time to time. You will get to hear a relatively shy girl being herself, and that is pretty rare.
I can't wait to share my journey with you!
