A PERSONAL NOTE

 

I love the ocean and walking along the beach. Living in Mexico with the
Pacific as my backyard was a dream come true.

But I think, as much as I loved it, it solidified the fact that my
favorite place of all is the forest. I love it in every season: the
bright green liveliness of summer, the crisp and colorful leaves under
my feet in the fall, those magical moments when it's so quiet that you
can actually hear the snowflakes hitting the ground in the winter, and
the blossoms and buds of the spring.

Living in the middle of a city, it's been a challenge to find a place to
get away from the smell of exhaust and the sound of horns and sirens,
but I finally located a beautiful place to walk about a 15-minute drive
from my apartment. While it may seem rather silly to drive somewhere to
walk, the resulting peace is well worth it.

Thor is living his best life, making friends with others who are out
hiking the trails. He's especially a fan of children who are fascinated
by his size.

During our daily hikes, we ran into one person to whom Thor took a
dislike, and when he doesn't care for someone, I listen. After basking
in the attention of at least 6 people earlier in our walk, he began to
growl deep and low at an approaching hiker. He backed up against me to
block me from the man and his hair stood up along his back.

The man laughed and said, "Wow, your dog doesn't like me."

I didn't smile back.  (Thanks, Gavin de becker!) I said, "No, he
clearly doesn't, and he bites."

Our interaction ended with the man giving us a very wide berth. Of
course, my reference to deBecker is the classic that everyone should
read - especially women - The Gift of Fear. If you haven't read it, I
strongly recommend that you do. It's about tapping into your instincts
and understanding that when you feel unease, it's often for a very good
reason.

Was the other hiker a bad person? A potential serial killer or rapist? I
have no idea, but I'd rather be perceived as rude than dead.

That's the wonderful thing about animals. They're not bound by the rules
that make us feel obligated to be polite even when we're
uncomfortable.  We should learn that lesson from them. Never be afraid
to be "impolite" if something feels off.

WHAT I'VE BEEN READING AND WATCHING THIS WEEK

Finally, some good news to report to those who are against medical
mandates. A "US federal appeals court has issued a stay on President Joe
Biden's vaccine mandates for employers
,
freezing the requirement over constitutional concerns." I sincerely hope
it holds up when it reaches the Supreme Court.

In less positive news, as per the New York Times
..."Thanksgiving
2021 could be the most expensive meal in the history of the holiday.
Nearly every component of the traditional American Thanksgiving dinner
will cost more this year, according to agricultural economists, farmers
and grocery executives. The culprit for these inflated prices are high
transportation expenses, supply chain issues caused by the pandemic,
labor shortages, trade policies, bad weather and inflation. 'I can buy
that this will be the most expensive Thanksgiving ever, but there's an
income-inequality story here that matters a lot,' said Trey Malone, an
agricultural economist at Michigan State University. 'The rich are going
to be spending more on Thanksgiving than they have ever spent before,
but not everyone is going to be able to do that.'"

People in the UK who post

"false information" about vaccines online could face two years in prison
under a new law.  When you think about how many former "conspiracy
theories" have turned out to be true over just the past 2 years, one
must wonder how 'false information' will be defined.

WHAT I'M DOING TO PREP

What I'm working on with regard to preparedness right now is kind of
embarrassing to admit, but in the spirit of this newsletter and full
disclosure ------->

I've really let my mental, physical, and financial health run down.

And I know I'm not alone in that. A lot of us are in similar situations.
If you are doing just fine, skip over the next bit - you won't find it
relatable. But if you are feeling like me, read on.

The "whys" and events that led us to the point we are at right now don't
matter nearly as much as what we do with it now that we've identified
it.

So many people are in the vicious cycle of "I really need to rest and
take a step back" and "But if I do, how will I pay my bills?" The two
feel mutually exclusive, don't they? After all, how do you take time off
but make more money for the ever-increasing cost of living in general?

I talked to a good friend about this level of burn-out I've been feeling
and he was insistent that I had to get better about finding some
balance. And he's right. So while I'm not taking a vacation in the
Bahamas any time soon, I do have to separate myself from my laptop and
my writing for a little more time each day. He assures me that by doing
so, I'll be able to bring a fresher, more positive point of view to the
things that I write. I'm hoping he's right.

It's so easy to get caught up in the whirlpool of horrific events and so
hard to swim your way out of it. To do so, it must be a deliberate
action. So, I'm limiting my time on social media to 2 fifteen minute
intervals each day. (It's a necessary evil in my line of work.) And I'm
driving to the state park 15 minutes away every weekday, rain, shine,
snow, or sleet, and walking my dog for at least a mile. This will make
me healthier, and hopefully happier and more productive. I've scheduled
it into my day. I've set an alarm that tells me, it's time to
get-the-heck-out-and-walk. I'm making it a priority.

If you're having similar struggles, please let this email be your sign:
take care of yourself. Your brain, your body, and your bank account are
all important and when you take care of your brain and body, your bank
account will follow. You will be fresher and more productive.

We live in a society that often makes us feel guilty for taking care of
ourselves, but remember that saying, "You can't pour from an empty cup."
You can't care for others if you don't first care for yourself. Eat
something nourishing, move your body, drink some water, and do something
that allows you to relax and feel at peace every single day.

It isn't just a rumor now. There are significant indicators of supply
chain disruptions, rising food prices, and distribution shortages
growing in the coming months. What are you doing to protect your family?

Our food supply will likely never be the same as it was just a few years
ago. Even if your grocery store shelves remain full today (though that's
changing quickly too), problems will trickle down to the consumer over
time. That paired with the uncertainty our modern times present means
it's critical to start relocalizing your food supply NOW, so you can
insulate yourself from the modern food grid's vulnerabilities (whatever
that looks like next). Learn how in this free training
.
It's really REALLY good information.
