This year had so many great and challenging things.
Moving interstate, showing up mindfully in my relationship, leaving a high paced job, settling down into homesteading full time and moving more slowly through my days.
As Iโm slowing down Iโm finding how much more life I have time for.
Feeling gratitude and hope for the year to come ๐งก
My old job was all taking care of people. Iโve been thinking a lot about it and I am starting to process that on some level taking care of others fed the part of me the needed someone to take care of me.
Now I have the very best partner in my life and I donโt need to take care of others anymore, itโs something I can choose to do or not to do. Never have I felt so settled ๐งก
Iโm a competitive person so I donโt do resolutions, I do challenges.
Last year I went without drinking alcohol and learned a lot about myself; this year I went without buying new clothes and unexpectedly learned even more about myself through the process.
Iโm looking for a challenge for next year that will continue this process.
What are you challenging yourself to in 2025?
This week I knelt in a bull ant nest while fixing some fencing and four days later Iโm still nursing the painful bites on my leg.
Hereโs the only useful thing I learned from this experience:
If you are sitting on an ants nest itโs not because life put you there, you put yourself there and you are the only one who can change this situation. Own your mistake and own the solution.
Also calamine lotion is surprisingly effective.

Advertising, in many ways, is a con game. Human beings do not need new automobiles every third year; a color television set brings little enrichment of the human experience; a higher or lower hemline no expansion of consciousness, no increase in the capacity to love.
It is not surprising then that politicians and advertising men should have discovered one another. And once they recognised that the citizen did not so much as vote for a candidate as make a psychological purchase of him, not surprisingly they began to work together.

How did you celebrate crossing the 100K per bitcoin price threshold?
We drove all the way into town to hit up a servo for an overpriced calippo.
Feels like winning.
I donโt know how I got so lucky to have a man who wakes up early to make me coffee before driving us 12hrs across 3 states to get to the @bitcoinbushbash

@TBone
If you are in Aus and have never been to a bush bash hereโs your chance!
Get yourself to Parkes for next weekend.
