Restarting My Blog

Happy Cinco De Mayo 2014

Good Grief....I can not believe it has been two years since I have posted on my blog. Sorry everyone life just got a little busy for awhile. Soooo, now that I am ready to get back in the swing of things, let's get down to it.

We are going to start with all the craziness going on in the world right now. If ever there was a time to be prepare for anything it is now. As I have said before, "Emergencies are not just natural disasters, they are also sick family member, lost jobs, lost hours, being relocated, etc."  My family and I have been on the lost job and relocated part of this in the last few months. It can be a challenge going from a crazy busy life, to up rooting from all your friends, family, and familiar things, to a place where you only have two friends, no family, and you don't know where anything is. Uggh.  It took me almost a month and a half to get out of my funk, and realize I have actual work to do.  So here I am and we are going to get Real on this Blog.

In the last few weeks my husband and I have been getting to know some of the people in our community. We have been talking to them about doing some of our Emergency Prep.classes here in our new area, and everyone seems to be on board. The great thing is they started doing an Emergency Prep Fair last year and will be having another here in June (When I have more details I will share them with you). I have also been asked to teach a class to our county if we get enough interest, I jumped at that.  We live in a small town now so trying to get the community together and prepared who would say NO that?

Now that you have a little update on where we are let's get back to the world issues...we don't have the best internet or actual TV where we live, so knowing what is happening in the world can be a challenge. As most of you know in different parts of the world, war could break out any minute, many people here are starting to get ready for anything, but yet there are people that just don't see the writing on the wall. This is the time to have something in place for your family.

To my LDS friends please do not take this next part wrong I am trying to make a point. For almost twenty years my husband and I were LDS (Mormon), we left the church about 4 years ago and joined a different church. As a member of the LDS church you are asked to be self reliant, you should have food storage for your family for at least a year. (Yes, this is where my husband and I started on our way to teaching the classes and starting this blog). The LDS church as a whole have helped people all over the world with food, clothes, quilts and so many other things over the years but they still get a bad rap; but if you look at the church on an individual level, only a small portion of them are ready for anything, themselves. My point of this is we all need to look at what is going on in the world...what if it came here? What if we had more weather issues, lost a job, had sick family members, etc.? What are YOU prepared for?

If you review some of my old posts I have given you some ideas to get you started.

Until next time...
