Remember my book, My Homesteading Journey? I wrote it back in April of 2007. Actually, I sold it mostly on my own website and then some copies on eBay. Now though, I have all three of my eBooks in the Kindle store on Amazon. . My Homesteading Journey
I have always loved the country life, having grown up in the country most of my life. Of course, like most country kids, I dreamed of living in the big city. Once out on my own, I lived in cities, not the big ones, but cities just the same. I think that is what helped me come back to the country life. My parents and brother were always involved in country activities, such as fishing, hunting, swimming, boating, gardening and such. It didn’t take long for me to see that the country life is more satisfying in the long run. My present (and last) husband and I have come into this lifestyle together. We have grown together and I try to portray that in my book.
I have tried to cover topics in my book that will appeal to people who want to become homesteaders, as well, as the serious off-the-grid people too. I detailed our small, affordable solar system. What it was like when we started off with just one solar panel, and how it has grown since. Our system is still quite small and affordable for the every day people like us. I wanted to tell my readers that it is possible to do. So many people want to live off-the-grid, and think it is beyond them, since they don’t have a lot of money. It can be done! I know, I did it!

This book is our story, of how we did it. I am no expert by any means. I am just like you. My goal is to promote the self-reliant lifestyle, no matter where you live. This is the way we did it, and if it helps you, then I am very happy. I will answer any questions you have if you have purchased my book for your kindle. And even if you haven’t. Please feel free to contact me here. Presently, I am writing another more detailed homesteading how to book. It will be not so personal. More like a manual. So ask any questions or tell me what has interested you about this lifestyle. If you have purchased my book, I want you to know that I really appreciate it!
