"Self-sufficiency does not mean 'going back' to the acceptance of a lower standard of living. On the contrary, it is the striving for a higher standard of living, for food that is organically grown and good, for the good life in pleasant surroundings... and for the satisfaction that comes from doing difficult and intricate jobs well and successfully." John Seymour ~ Self Sufficiency 2003

Welcome to "Life Through The Cracks"

Continuing the introduction of new friends to old friends, please won't you join me in welcoming Ruth who lives "near deep in the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia in Canada".
Ruth's blog is Life through the Cracks.  When she's not busy running her homestead she spends her time making exquisite jewellery. 

I love her one comment: "Anyone who is serious about sustainable living encounters feelings of inadequacy and overwhelming everyday.  We just live with it and keep trudging down the path.  Each day, too, we take our eyes from our obsession and see how beautiful the journey really is.  The rewards far outshine the losses.  Never posh and frilly, but always an exciting adventure."

Please visit her site and give her a friendly welcome to this gathering of like-minded souls.

Ruth, I reply to all comments (even those placed on old postings), but given the size of this wonderful planet, and the different time zones, it may not be today by your time, but will certainly be by tomorrow.  And, if I am on the farm it may take a little longer...LOL

    I visit Ruth quite often via her blog. She's got so much to 'digest' and ponder.

    I might add that Ruth is also the author of a most interesting and inspirational book titled "Life Through The Cracks: A Place To Start."

Thank you for taking the time to comment - it makes my day and removes the "loneliness' of sitting at my screen blogging supposedly to myself ;) I try and reply as quickly as possible so please forgive me if sometimes my response is delayed.
