Roots and Refuge is the name of a farm in central Arkansas. The young mother of this family has a forthright way of sharing which I find very appealing. She and her husband have six children and a four-acre plot where they grow all their food, raise chickens and goats, and share their knowledge and joy with us on a regular basis via their YouTube channel. I enjoy her weekly garden tours, where she tells us what's ready to harvest or plant. I love when she shares how she finds her clothing at online thrift stores. Today I watched her tell us how to become sustainable, and it doesn't have to do with selling what she grows, but rather eating and preserving it, while cutting back on expenditures, and being happy because you have everything you need. The main reason I love watching her is that she just talks. She is full of joy and learns something new every day, which she happily shares with us. Cooking, carpentry, gardening, raising animals, visiting her mother, picking blackberries in the woods -- what fun to go through a day with Jess! She talks about what she knows, and is not afraid to admit when she is wrong. Come to think about it, these are characteristics which my favorite people have, too! Whether you make videos, write books, or just talk freely about what you know to be true, you're adding to the goodness in our world and are much-needed at this time. Keep up the good work!
"Every step towards goodness is a departure from materiality, and is a tendency towards God, Spirit." Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 213:11
