Re: So we're about to head into 2010
My life has changed drastically in the last 10 years.

10 years ago I was literally making less than my bills were. I was mired in debt with a big mortgage and a big light bill etc.

At the end of the decade I am not yet fully out of debt but I am mortgage free and only have a car note and a few credit cards left to get rid of.

As for the next decade I plan to complete my goal of releasing myself from the cares and toils that this world compels us to place upon ourselves and move closer to a life that relies more on God's works and wonders than mans.

God is good. All the time.

D4T - have you ever seen the Backwoods Home magazine? I love that magazine. That's the life my husband and I hope to have some day.

My wife and I have been talking a self sustaining lifestyle. We have a small place with some acreage in Northwest Wisconsin, but my job is in Louisiana and my youngest is a junior in High School this year and wants to graduate with his class.

Backwoods Home, Mother Earth News, Grit, The Backwoodsman, and other magazines are great.

Re: So we're about to head into 2010
In 2000, I live in Michigan

So in the last decade I have:

Moved back to my home town in late 2000
inherited family home
divorced my husband in 02 final in 03
mortgaged my home to survive and pay off debt
went back to work full time
saw ex and the father of my girls go to prison
changed churches from home church to progressive upc
then from the UPC to non denominational church
saw a sister survive cancer
watched my babies turn into young adults and the oldest leave home.
truly feel like I have become born again in the last few years...a totally new person spiritually.

lol there is so much drama in the above that I am so looking forward to a new decade.

Starting of this year has a lot of significance to me... I am looking forward to some promises this year...and can't wait to see what God has in store for me.

I also like Mother Earth News. I will have to look into the others.

This sentence stood out... "My wife and I have been talking a self sustaining lifestyle."

Talk it.... when it doesn't happen... keep talking it.

We are seeing some successes but they came after years of talking. The talking shaped our mindset until we were able and ready to make a move.

Talk, talk & talk some more. It keeps the dream alive and makes us hungrier than ever.

Some say... that's all you do is talk... Yep... so far... but you just wait.

RevDWW... may you & yours realized your wildest dreams in this area.... in God's time.

2000 decade for me:

Divorced
Lost my mother
Sold our home
My dad remarried
My son married
My daughter married
Bought a home
Found out I'm going to be a grandmother

It was a big decade of change for me!
