Healthy Life Creative Life

So, I get a notification that I have been reported to intentionally post misinformation and there is a pdf attached as a report. I download the pdf and Norton's blocked it as infected! So, If my account disappears, you'll know what happened. I cannot find any misleading information that I have posted so, let's move on. Just beware. Things are getting really crazy out there.
Notification came from Sanaa El.,....Geeeeeee wonder what country he's from? I reported him right back!

I’ve decided that I want you all to BUILD THIS SITE WITH ME!
Please take a minute, take a look, and let me know what you think.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I have so much in my brain that I can’t possibly put it all on the site, and I need a little direction from you.

Here’s what I need from you. Take a look at the site. Healthlifecreativelife.com

Realize it is IN PROCESS of being built. Look at the pages: The Haven, The Plot, and The Upper Room. This breaks it down into three pillars…mind, body, and spirit. (The 3 pillars will also have a video section for each category.)

Questions:
Do you think a site like this could be a good resource to point your children or grandchildren to?

What would you expect to read about in each of these sections?

As an elder, what type of information would you like for your children to learn?

Do you like the way the information is setup in the 3 pillar pages so far? (The Haven is most complete. The Plot needs tweaking and I have not really begun The Upper Room yet so I am completely open to your ideas.)
What would make the page(s) more helpful to you?

Titles: When you hear the title of the page, what comes to mind even before clicking to the page?

Would you like to see a selected post section, from you, where you submit your stories, recipes, wisdom, etc. and I post the best? (Could be titled something like; Our Shared Table, The Guest List, Reader Highlights, or Soul Food…what do you think?)

How do you keep your MOJO at a balanced level?
Creativity is not just for artistic people.

Most things one does requires a little creativity, for instance, chefs create original recipes and tweak others, engineers creatively solve structural issues and both, sometimes, have to think outside the box.

Organization, problem solving, decision making, daily tasks, and even social interactions require creativity and critical thinking. I've found that when I feel balanced inside and my body feels well, I can perform at higher levels.
Self care is a key factor in my life.

What are some things you do or "mind games" you play with yourself when motivation and creativity are low?
Let's share some ideas or experiences.

Calling all local growers, beekeepers, and farmers markets in MO and western IL! 🌿🐝

As we continue to build out the new website, one of my main goals is to create a "Local Roots" directory—a space dedicated to connecting our community with the incredible organic farmers and local producers who keep us healthy and sustainable.

We want to put your farm or business on our map! Whether you run a local honey operation, an organic vegetable farm, or a neighborhood farmers market, we’d love to feature you.

How to get on the list:
Drop your business name, a brief description of what you do, and your link or contact info in the comments below! 👇

Let’s work together to make fresh, local living easier for everyone. Please share this with any local producers you know who should be included!

Thank you!
Stay Inspired!

Creativity isn't just for artists... 💡

It’s for the gardener, the home-chef, and the problem-solver. It’s the heartbeat of a healthy life.

I am thrilled to announce my new project: Healthy Life Creative Life Website This site is dedicated to the "Whole Person"—combining the practical skills of holistic living and food preservation with the soul-work of creative learning.

Ill be sharing my journey and the changes I've made to stay on the creative side as an artist. But I also want to learn from all of you. Humans are all a bit different and what works for one, while another may need to tweak the process a bit.

From The Haven to The Upper Room, I can’t wait to welcome you into this community.

Follow along and share with your friends, for updates and a first look at our upcoming merchandise and workbooks!

Sooooo....
My sourdough journey hit a pothole and fell in. Im taking a break but not without real bread!
I looked up a recipe for a quick loaf of sandwich bread and here she is!

No, I could not wait until completely cooled before slicing into it and eating it with butter and celtic salt. Warm bread, freshly made...it was so yummy and filling. I was like a mom with a new baby...LMBO I could've hugged that loaf 🤣😂🤣
This is a more dense and heavy bread compared to store bought. No taste comparison at all...totally different.

Im making an egg and sausage samich for breakfast!

This is day 9
Crusty doubled!!!!!
Look at those pretty bubbles.

Today is day 8.
This is pre feeding!
The smell is tangy and sweet.
I discarded half and this time fed a heaping 1/4 cup with just under 1/4 cup of water. Thinking that upping the flour a bit will give him more to munch on. We'll see how he looks tomorrow.

WOW! You go, Crusty, GO!
This morning when I woke at4:30, he was about 1/4 in. above the top line. I've watched him grow above that by anotFascinating! I fed last evening. Today is day 5. I think my bread flour im using likes a warmer temp and the oven seems to keep it more consistent.
Facinating!

I'm keeping this for reference. It's much like the book I used for Bread Zepplin.
Meet CRUSTY!
He's 3 days old and I'm getting ready to feed him. He doubled for me. Show off! Lol ❤️

R.I.P. Bread Zepplin.
I took him out to feed him and he had a funky smell and yellow fuzzy patches.

I must have contaminated him with something. OK...Let's try again this weekend.
What should I name the new one?
