Today, I thought I would talk about something all of us in Tennessee have been doing for a few weeks and that many of you will soon need to do: helping your plants through morning frosts that happen in the spring as the earth embraces spring, gets warm, then spikes down below the freezing point at night. I’ve got 5 things you can do without spending a ton of cash – and these are especially important if you are playing early spring plant roulette as I am.

Episode 150: How Gratefulness Changes Your Future

Today, I want to examine gratitude and how being grateful for what you can do, what you have and what being grateful for others are in your life can do to help you find a pathway toward growth and success – and ultimately build the life you want to live rather than fall back into old habits of living up to everyone else’s expectations.

Episode 149: Building Your Dream Job with Jessica Mills

Today is Friday so we have a guest interview. When I got to know Jessica Mills, AKA “Dixie” from Homemade Wanderlust, I was impressed with her no nonsense, friendly and empowering approach to everything. She was fun to talk with, eager to share information, and genuinely interested in seeing everyone around her do well. This, paired with her ability to get things done well no matter what, made her a great person to interview.

Episode 146: 5 Tools to Keep on Your Homestead

Because today is a Wednesday, we will be talking about a homesteading topic – and one that is near and dear to many a heart. At the request of Victoria from the LFTN Coffee break group, I thought I would share with you 5 tools that I think every homestead should have – even the off-grid ones. But remember – if you ONLY can have 5 tools on your homestead, these are not they. Rather – these are 5 I truly wanted to highlight and each for a different reason.

Episode 145: Replay – Change Your Narrative, Change Your Life

Guys, I had one hell of a day today – and mostly not in a good way. By 5pm, I still was unable to record the show. It is rare that so much bad stuff comes up that I cannot record, but it happened today. So a close couple of friends asked me: “Why not do a replay?” And I thought about it and realize this: I NEEDED to re-listen to “Change Your Narrative, Change Your Life,” so why not do a replay of that episode for all. We all have weird, yucky stuff happen from time to time – and it is a good reminder to make what you can of it when it does.

Episode 142: TN GSD Crew Strikes Again

If you don’t know who the TN GSD crew is, they are a group of friends who sometimes get together at one place or another and help kickstart a project.
