Good morning!!!
I have made a decision to share a bit of my life on this format....please know I am doing this on my phone, and will post as reception, power allows.
I think that my journey is worth sharing. As many of you know, I have gone off grid, in the bush, in northern ontario!! It is one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
For those that want to argue with my choice, please delete me, or unfollow me. This is MY choice, and is not up for a great debate....discussions are great, but I will not defend myself or my lifestyle at any length.
I have been seperate from large city life for over 4 years....it has been the most amazing experience...being apart from family and friends has been difficult at times, but I am grateful for modern technology (it is a luxury that pioneers did not have)
This is the fourth
winter in the bush off grid....and it can be difficult at times, but people have been amazing/instrumental in helping me prepare.
My first lesson..DO NOT ....I repeat DO NOT let the fire go out at 4am, when it is -28 outside...lol I am forever grateful that it was not -40 lol lol
I am looking forward to sharing when I can....and I hope you all take time to ungrip/unhook/let go/go within/unplug of what society deems neccessity. Winter is a time to go within, to balance ourselves. Unfortunately....this seems to be the time when we are the busiest, and totally goes againts the natural rythym of life.
Everyone has the knowledge to their path of well being
Much love
A Northern Earth Mother

Welcome to steemit!
I envy you and your off-grid living. I belong to a community of homesteaders, gardeners and some off-grid people here and I have been following and reading their posts and learning so much.
While I am only a rural homesteader, there is still so much to learn.

STOPI love this. You're freestyle storytelling and your chilly picture brings me back to a wintery part of my childhood, in the wild countryside of Wyoming. I think you'll do nicely here, with "dreamy" posts like this, and I wish you well on your Steemit journey. I'm upvoting and following you now, looking forward to more snowy scenes. :)
Thank you so much! I am very much looking forward to keeping in touch. Love being in nature, and thrilled there are like minds out there!!
Hey Tammy... Great to see you here... I don't feel so alone here now.

Looks amazing there! I'm with you, I love the beauty and solace of winter. It naturally forces you to slow down a little and refocus. Welcome to the community!
