Traditional Skills To Learn
In a world ran by technology, business, and success, the art of learning traditional skills and homemaking has been lost. I believe we should all go after our dreams, no matter what they are, but going back to our ancestral roots is a great way to practice mindfulness. Working on traditional skills gives you a sense of satisfaction, wellbeing, grounding, and peace. Here is a list of some ways you can reconnect with yourself and the earth :
Gardening
Cooking from scratch
Canning food
Pottery
Wood carving
Sewing
Baking bread & making cheese
Learn about herbs and make your own medicine
Crochet
Make jam
Learn etiquette
Decorate your home
Write in cursive
Paint
Make candles
Teach & care for children

never told someone didn’t like me because i was dark skinned
however
my experience doesn’t negate the terrible things other women have had to...
Lol, the change!
If you reblog this before June 1 2015, I will write your URL down and stick it in a jar or whatever. Over the summer I will take the jar of URL’s and I will scatter them around. They may get taped to public loos, they may be thrown into crowds at festivals, or they may get put under napkins at restaurants.
Some one may find your URL, and who knows, they could message you telling you where they found it.
You have until June 1 to reblog
I love that moment. When you’re on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading. And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you. You’re focused on that one thing, and that one thing only. You’re content, and everything seems peaceful.
