Okay so this is a quick check in about No Electricity month.  I’m here at Fresh Go (www.Fresh-Go.com) in St Pete getting some sweet potato fries and wifi.  I don’t think Eric and I would have made it through Unprocessed Foods month without this place.  Now we’re back for the food and the wifi, so we can stay somewhat connected to the outside world while our power is off this month.

We flipped the power breakers off on March…

~~The Awakening~~

 

A time comes in your life when you finally get it... when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out - ENOUGH!

This is your… Continue

Winding Down “No Cash” Month and Throwing the

Switch on “No Electricity” Month.
