Manifesto?

For years now, I've been inching my way towards a more sustainable lifestyle. As I've come to learn about the harmful practices of modern civilization and to realize the power my choices have, I've been making changes to lessen my negative impact on the world around me. Less Easy Mac and more farmer's market, less driving and more biking, etc.

As I've struggled to find a professional calling, I've focused on matching my personal life to the ideals I hold. It sounds cheesy, I know, but I'm living my values - or at least trying! And it's hard. Sometimes. Other times it's fun. It's always interesting (at least to me). Mostly, it's important. I'd feel hypocritical espousing values while not actually trying live up to them fully.

What are these values?
Community - Sustainability - Equality

Broad categories, I realize this. Consider this list a work in progress and expect updates.

So that's what this is. I've made a personal mission to live my values and this blog will chronicle that journey. I won't promise it will be entertaining, or that it will be regularly updated, but it will provide a glimpse.

I hope you enjoy it.

First stop: City girl to farm girl. Coming soon.
