Yes, there's a lot of buzz about hugelkulture and Sepp Holtzer. I'm trying to work with the concept without a lot of trenching! Sepp does his with machinery and I'd be doing it by the shovelful! I did build a raised bed last fall in order to make it easier to overwinter some greens this year; and I layered cardboard,…

I love NOW Solutions which is a long-lasting deodorant cream with a very light scent! It really does stop odors due, I think, to the zinc oxide. It doesn't contain the aluminum and other chemicals of antiperspirants. I'm not trying to stop my body from sweating, but have tried various, more natural types of deodorant to…

Oh, I'm sorry I missed this discussion! I was at a meeting of our local Transition Town group which also includes a strong permaculture aspect! I could relate to so much of what you all are growing....or planning to grow! I'm in the north, north east US and the snow has just melded off of the gardens in the last couple of…

:wink:

Very interesting topic! Didn't read the article, but in for the wisdom! I must say that the thought of going into maintenance before reaching goal is a bit scary.....which does point out that maybe I am still having trouble seeing this as a lifestyle change!

OP, you are doing great! Time to give yourself a break and stop that fretting! There are going to be stumbling blocks along the way.....sometimes you can side-step them or step over them.....other times, you will have to pick yourself up, dust off and continue on the journey! A sense of humor helps! Laugh and move on!…

Others have given some good advice already. I'm just wondering about the depression as it can color everything "bleak". Consuming sugar or alcohol can set up a cycle of ups and downs and getting those things in balance can help balance your mood, if that is part of the problem. Your diary isn't open, so hard to see what…

:smile: I agree about the intensity! I would also say strong willed, maybe a tad determined! And though I get along with most people most of the time, I do have a bit of a stinger. Mostly though, I love to laugh and enjoy being with others who do too! I am more of an introvert, than extrovert....and do need my alone time.…

I really don't have a clue about how being a Scorpio influences my fitness journey. Might be interesting to explore. I've always been pretty grounded and can make things happen, although I tend to take my time. Scorpio is a fixed water sign. Fixed=grounded? Water=emotions? I think of Scorpios as not being afraid of…

No cusp here.....lots of Scorpio influences in my chart...or so I've been told! :happy:
