For all of us, women, men, young people, people who do not hear the same music as others, just understanding who you are in this world thrust upon us without a clear way to find some peace and those that just prefer more kindness in your world? This is the point of this community. Artists, makers, gardeners, perpetual students, women feeling aged and vulnerable. Do you want to try something new but have no idea where to begin? Let's do this together! Pick one of the categories, share with me your interest or questions and we will begin at the best place, the beginning. Here's mine. I'm in my late 50s, frankly still don't understand how this happened but the cranking of time continues. I've had a few careers. Some hobbies that became jobs, and my curious mind and willing heart is still as interested as when I was young. I own a hundred acre farm with my life partner. Actively farmed for almost 20 years. Sometimes successful other times overwhelmed. I've made some terrifically poor decisions and had to climb out of some very dark deep places both financially and emotionally. Basically, I've lived a full life. I no longer 'farm' for a living and have been working madly to transform the land I am privileged to steward into a place where women come through Hipcamp to enjoy the outdoors but feel safe as they explore solitude and the natural world. I garden now for food for my own household instead of for a larger community. I'm still fixing, building, planting, creating art, and trying to be a positive force to add to the larger good in the Universe. I am a bit outspoken about what I see as injustice and have found that there are ways in which as we live our daily lives engaged with others that also wish to learn rather than master. Words matter. How you act when no one is looking matters. How you treat others matters. SO WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT?
