🌿🐐 Homestead Reality + Prepper Reality Check (Give Me a Hug Friday 😅)
This morning was pure chaos — cows flipping troughs, goats being goats, turkeys causing mischief… and it reminded me how fast “normal” turns into problem-solving mode on a homestead. 🐄🪣🦃
But here’s the bigger point I want to share:
📵 Doom-scrolling doesn’t qualify anyone as a prepper.
Watching videos about preparedness isn’t the same as practicing it.
✅ Real preparedness = testing yourself
Not just your gear… your discipline.
🎯 January challenge: pick ONE “crutch” item and give it up for 30 days.
Not forever. Just to see how you handle discomfort and what it reveals about you.
🍞 Her suggestion (and it’s a good one): Give up all bread until Feb 1.
Bread, crackers, breaded foods, biscuits, cornbread — all of it.
You’ll learn fast:
🧠 how strong your habits are
💪 how you handle stress
🔥 how you respond when something you “depend on” disappears
👀 Curious: what’s ONE thing you could give up for 30 days to test yourself?
(You don’t have to post it if you don’t want — but if you do, it might help someone else.)
🙏 Pray. Prep. Be peaceful.
