Ujamaa
Cooperative Economics
This 4th Principle is so so important, it's 1 of the main reasons I support, share, post and collaborate with other local entrepreneurs.
We together have the ability to build up our communities! I'm still learning as I go along, however this Ujamaa I believe in.
Ptah-Hotep informs us, "Generosity is a memorial for those who show it, long after they have departed" (45). This of course, is the ancient African ethic of care and responsibility which informs the concepts of generosity and shared social wealth.
Throughout the sacred teachings of ancient Egypt in particular and Africa in general, the ethic of care and responsibility is expressed in the concept of shared social wealth and service to the most disadvantaged.
This of course, finds its modern philosophical expression in our social thought and struggles, as a people, around and for social justice. And this struggle is not simply to be generous to the poor and vulnerable but ultimately to end their poverty and vulnerability, so that they too can live a decent, undeprived and meaningful life.
For only in such a context will they be able to pursue the truly human without the limitation imposed by poverty, deprivation or the debilitating struggle for just life's basic necessities. To share wealth and work, then, is to share concern, care and responsibility for a new, more human and fulfilling future.
Practice Ujamaa every day!

It was gonna be so big and beautiful....hopefully some more heads will pop out
Most individuals don't realize plenty food available is poison to our bodies. In 2018 I was shocked that cereal bars and gummies were still being offered enmass after all these years.
We all must experience what growth feels like which includes better choices in what we ingest.
Your microbiome is your life, it's your gut health and that matters more than anything.
Before I became a farmer I had begun the daunting to some task of changing myself and lifestyle for the betterment of my future. I lived with severe and suicidal depression since a teenager and teen homelessness. I had my 1st kid at 18 hoping he would bring happiness to my life. He surely made me happy but the depression still loomed.
I'm 47 will be 48 this year and I've found my way to happiness by allowing nature, my creator, my ancestors and my intuitions to take lead. Going to therapy and doing the work after was difficult yet I did it and made it
I share my story because I'm so proud of what I've accomplished even through living in poverty and utilizing government assistance.
There is no shame, only full gratitude that I'm here to share.
I'm not an influencer, I'm a real highly melanated, educated and intelligent, former homeless, former single mom who risked it all for the life I live today.

Yard work today!
It's way too gorgeous to be indoors, so I moved my seedlings to their greenhouse and started building up the back end of our garden area.
I plan to have the build out done by the end of the week.

You're never to old to follow your dreams!
What I've learned about Vermicomposting:
Vermicomposting benefits:
1. **Nutrient-rich compost:** Worm castings (vermicompost) are high in essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are readily available to plants.
2. **Improves soil structure:** Vermicompost enhances soil structure, increasing its water retention capacity and aeration, promoting healthier plant growth.
3. **Reduced waste:** It's an efficient way to recycle organic waste, diverting it from landfills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
4. **Low maintenance:** Requires minimal effort and space compared to traditional composting methods. It can be done indoors or outdoors, making it accessible to urban dwellers.
5. **Suppresses diseases and pests:** Vermicompost contains beneficial microbes that can help suppress harmful pathogens and pests in the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
6. **Promotes biodiversity:** Encourages the growth of beneficial microorganisms and earthworm populations, contributing to a more diverse and resilient ecosystem.

One day at a time, LITERALLY!!!
We're making progress building the garden areas. I need more supplies to level out this slope!
It's always something right, lol.
The weather felt amazing against my skin. Got some sweat equity and hubs helped with that half dead half alive hydrangea I couldn't uproot.
