2020 Goals and Reflections
Hello Friends,
Looking back at 2019 I can see where I can make positive changes.
Spiritual:
I want to grow closer to God. I want a strong Spiritual Armor.
Family:
Slowing down and keeping up with traditions. Enjoying the small moments and celebrating them.
Changing my way of doing things at home so it can make more sense. Putting my children first before those dirty dishes that are not going any where. Letting the dust bunnies visit a little longer so I can play with my children encourage their growth and answer those million questions they have.
Social Media:
I already closed down my Facebook account. I have Instagram but never post. I do read emails and spam alot of them that are time wasters. I want to focus on my Blog A Frugal Life Now and Youtube.
Jobs:
As a full time homemaker and business owner. I see that I need to work on my other outlets of income. Everyone should have several streams of income. All Billionaires and Millionaires have their hands in more than one pot (several streams of income).
Health:
This I am already working on and see positive results. I want to make healthier life decisions in general.
Prepping:
I want to continue learning and adding to my food storage with long term foods. I call them get it and forget it. You know it's there when you need it. Call it Food Insurance.
Growing Food:
I have never had a green thumb in my life. This year my husband I want to grow food for our home.
Reading and Crafting:
I want to read more books. I want to craft more and enjoy my hobbies.
Cooking:
I want to challenge myself to try new recipes.
Donating:
I want to step up my game in donations. I believe in giving back to the community and the places I normally shop. I want everyone to find treasures just like I do.

Wonderful goals and reflections! Thank you for sharing <3 can't wait to keep up with your blog this year!
ReplyDeleteHi Ana i love yr videos . since last October i slowly started to go to church read bible and talk to God. Every morning the first 15 min belong to the Lord read Scriptures listen to cristian music and talk to God. This change changed me emotionally as well as physically. I now am a lector at my church and always in a better mood and plus lost 40 pounds. I do walk every day at least 1 hr. Nice talking with you
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to lose weight myself
ReplyDeleteAna, For the past year I have been watching and read the comments on a certain youtuber's channel. It has gotten increasingly harder for me to set back and not say something to this lady.
ReplyDeleteOver the past week it has keep me in tears, awake thinking and praying.
I can tell in many ways by the things she says and by the comments left she is misleading people into believing they can survive by the things she portrays when in fact she is not surviving today without outside help.
She contradicts herself from one video to the next and no body seems to catch it.
So much of what she does is staged, from washing dishes by hand where she actually doesn't wash them to dipping water out of the bathtub after a shower when she is actually dipping clean water out of a pan hidden by the shower curtain.
It upsets me so much, because I actually lived the life she is trying to portray. When I know it is not possible to live off the one acre plot of land and the five chickens she has. You can't survive on it a year nevertheless longer. Is takes a lot of land, livestock and food to survive year to year
She tells people you can live on no money or very little. She tells them to can their home grown food. She doesn't tell them it is almost impossible to can over and open fire in your yard.It has been done by preppers but it took many tries, a lot of wood and a number of people to accomplish it. She doesn't tell them that the start up cost is high to do it in the first place. She does not tell them it is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
What upsets me the most is she has hundreds of people out there believing it is possible to survive by her way of life.
It really upset me when she said people in the depression were able to survive by doing the things she does today. When in fact thousands starved and froze to death. Tens of thousands died of Pellagra the lack of vitamin B3 in their diet.
I have prayed over and over for guidance in what to do to help those that are being mislead.
I just don't know what to do about it. I know in my heart and head I should do something. I believe God wants me to do something or it won't bother me and keep me up at night
I guess one of my goals for 2020 is to help more people than I have in 2019, and keep doing it as long as I can while I can.
If you have any suggestion on what I should do or how to ease my mind and heart please send me an email. Unsubscribing from her channel will be my first step.
I always enjoy watching and communicating with you.
