When Women At Woodstock Is About to Begin, First I Disconnect…

A cup of tea, a moment of quiet on the back porch of my little place at Clove Cottages as I await the afternoon … I love this day of happy anticipation.

I didn't want to, but now I'm SO glad I did. Women At Woodstock 2020 will be a Virtual Retreat this year, and seriously, it's going to be so much more than some Zoom sessions. It will be awesome and real, a true escape and true community. ... See MoreSee Less

Things that I'm doing to help, while staying safe:

1) DONATE TO FEEDING AMERICA, so that food meant for school lunches and other aid programs will not be thrown away, but delivered to those in need. You can donate here: https://www.feedingamerica.org/

2) DONATE BLOOD. My next appointment is on May 15. You can schedule a donation here (they have extra Covid-19 safety procedures in place): https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/find-drive

3) USE A DELIVERY SERVICE FOR ALL MY GROCERIES. For years I've subscribed to Imperfect Foods for "ugly produce" and overruns that would otherwise be thrown away. https://www.imperfectfoods.com/ Now I also am getting deliveries for the rest of my groceries from my local stores through https://www.instacart.com/. Granted it costs an extra $10 or so for the service & delivery, but fortunately I can afford that. And, I know I'm helping a few extra people get employment during this time, and I'm helping the environment by cutting down on the number of cars on the road.

4) SEND CHECKS TO LOCAL BUSINESSES. I always use that can't provide services right now. I'm fortunate that I can afford dance classes and an occasional housecleaning (about 4X/year) and I'm lucky that so far, because I work from home, my income hasn't been hit much by Covid-19. So yesterday I received my stimulus check, and today I sent a check to the woman who comes to clean my house once a season, and another check to my beloved ballet school.

5) WEAR A MASK ON MY WALKS. It does maybe seem like overkill if I pass only two people - on the opposite side of the street - while I'm out. But this quarantine thing works only if we all cooperate all the time. We're starting to get this thing under control. This is not the time to get lax.

I know everyone's doing their part, and this list may not seem impressive. But I'm hoping that it will inspire you to keep on with what you're doing and maybe even take an extra action or two. Let's all stay together in our resolve to do what it takes to get Covid-19 under control, and help others where we can. ... See MoreSee Less

Self-sufficiency- building (and also having “act Self-sufficiency- building (and also having “activities” in the house): me- growing broccoli sprouts, husband- starting sourdough starter, me- making colcannon from leftover potatoes, carrots & onions, daughter- making a huge enchilada casserole from the 1.5-foot-high stack of corn tortillas that was the only size at the grocery store. Feeling a little pioneer-ish. Which is good.
