What is Slow Living?
It's a slower approach to everyday life.
Mindfulness, being aware and present of your surroundings.
It's knowing that faster isn't always better.
Slow living is a connection to your community and a commitment to purpose.
It's also about consuming less and being mindful of what you do consume. This includes food, music, movies, podcasts, social media, and all products.

It's the small things that are little reminders of how truly blessed I am! While doing laundry (and always checking pockets of course!) I came across a sticker my son gave to my husband. He wore it on his shirt until the stickiness came off and then put it into his pocket for safe keeping. 💗 Cherish good fathers and husbands!

Thanksgiving story for the children
Here is a Thanksgiving story without magical injun farmers or the notion of Pilgrims stealing injun land. Travel back to 1620 and look at America the way the Christian separatists did: as a beautiful piece of land filled with untapped potential. This story ends, asking the child who you can rely on. This season, give thanks for God, your family and your kinfolk.

This salmon is crispy and candied on the outside while soft, medium and buttery in the middle - the thinner you slice the garlic the more "candied" they end up.
Enjoy this 2 minute recipe.
Wild Caught Salmon
2 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup honey
6 sliced garlic cloves
salt (about 2 tsp/filet)
dill (add after cooking so it doesn't burn)

I keep hearing people who previously wanted children say that maybe they don’t want children now that the world has gone mad. They fear bringing children into a world where they risk being forced vaccinated, taken away, gulaged, or worse. The future seems too bleak for a happy family life now. While these are legitimate fears, it’s important to consider this in the context of the bigger picture.
First of all, there is no guarantee that the world won’t get better, just like having a child in a time of prosperity and peace doesn’t guarantee that the world won’t later fall apart at some point in that child’s life. I’m sure when my parents had me and my siblings, they thought it was a great world to bring kids into, and yet here we are, facing down a dystopia when we’re now all of an age to be trying to get our own lives started.
Potentially, having a child during this dystopian era could be more difficult or scary, but in 20-30 years, the world could be great for them. My grandpa was born when his parents fled Europe and they had nothing but the clothes on their backs and probably thought it was a terrible time to have a baby, but he ended up having a relatively happy and prosperous life on the whole.
The other thing is that it’s easy to say you don’t want children because of your fears of the world because a child that isn’t born yet is just an abstraction. No parent would say they wish their children hadn’t been born because the world is scary. Because those children are real individuals that they have a bond with, not some abstract future possibility. No matter how bad the world gets, it would be relatively uncommon to find a parent who wishes their kids weren’t ever born.
So this whole trend of people saying they don’t want kids anymore because of the Covidystopia seems to me like right wing version of climate change activists saying they don’t want kids because the world is getting too hot.
Fear about what the world is or will be is a weak excuse. We all have our karma and the shape our lives and the time we are born into is a reflection of that. If you have children in a difficult era, you simply rise to the challenge of that and raise your kids to be able to survive in harsh conditions. And if you have kids in a prosperous and comfortable era, you should still raise them to withstand the harshness of the world because odds are that it will come eventually at some point in their lives or in their children’s lives and they will need that knowledge regardless.
In many ways, we don’t get to choose the circumstances of our lives, especially when it’s something that is just the global environment. What we can choose is whether or not we’re willing to embrace the life God gave us anyway and still try to make an set of living and take seriously the responsibility of guiding new souls on their journey in this world. Refusing to have children out of fear is not that far off refusing to live

This Thanksgiving, I'd encourage you to read my series on the Pilgrim mythos. IMHO it's some of the best research & writing I've done over my 1/2 decade of blogging. I'm confident you'll learn something new. Here's to introspection & redeeming the time. ☦ http://www.dissidentmama.net/puritans-part-1-coming-to-america/
