#reverb10 ~ Day 13 ~ Action


This amazing frozen sunset was our view driving home (taken while moving) from school tonight.

Action. When it comes to aspirations, it’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen. What’s your next step? (Author: Scott Belsky)


The last three and a half years for us has been all about action.  Moving to the homestead, setting up our increasingly self-efficient life while being unable to sell the other house has taught us how to live and do as much as possible for ourselves or with minimal costs.   This has been a challenge, and one that we have met head on.   So our implementation, of dream realization, will come from two fronts.

* The hurdles we will  overcome in 2011*

For us this involves paying off debt and saving.  With a renter in the house now, we can breath a little easier and catch up a bit more.  Some of the dreams involve capital, and one of the best things we an do is make sure that we are debt free going into new ventures and horizons. 

*What we will accomplish while we overcome above hurdles*

My, oh my do we have aspirations to realize! We made giant steps this year in experimenting with our little home grown CSA.  Moving into 2011 we will continue to perfect the process.   We may pull the trigger on additional livestock of some kind; probably goats.  I see cheese and soap items added to farm baskets by year end.  Finally, templates will be created and experimented with for B's new baby.  UpCycling....Stay tuned.

How are you going to take action in 2011?  #reverb10
