The last two weeks have brought big, sad, life-changing things to many in our network. Today, I will talk through some things you can do for your friends and family when there really is nothing you can do to help.  Schedule this week (Rogue Food)Chicken Processing Workshop June 14Holler Homestead Open House June 26, 10am-3pm Tales from the Prepper Pantry First Freeze Dryer Lessons: Location, Hot Pump!, Rehydrating, Oil Filtration, Is It Worth the Money? Lettuce has been hanging on Found a last round of things to restock for the rest of the year (old habits die hard) Canning kitchen is almost all set up Featured Forage: Hemlock Operation Independence: $5/bag hiking strawberries Solar Water Heater Update Main topic of the Show: What to Do When There Is Nothing You Can Do #reach out (trite/stilted...dont read into a non response. Send a card or little gift) #avoid discounting the pain or being that person who says turn that frown upside down. It is ok to be sad #avoid sharing your similar sad story or anyone elses (two things, two friends...same day) #Use your unique superpower to make their life a bit easier: (meal prep, childcare, offers of driving places, network,  whatever it is) #check in a few days later... ask do you want, not do you need. #check in week/weeks/months later. They may not reach out to you. Life brings hard situations and we can help our friends and family by listening. Asking questions, sharing photos and good stories...and using our superpowers. What we cant do is wave a magic wand, bring someone back to life, or fix a relationship. Membership Plug MeWe reminder Make it a great week! Song: Grandpa’s Song by Sauce GUYS!

Today we talk about finding your reset in times of high productivity, overwhelming task lists and ever-changing requirements that come from living the life you want to live. Announcements: Chicken Processing Workshop, June 14 Rogue Food Conference in TN on June 5 May webinar save the date: May 22  Relocation Roundtable coming in June Get your listener feedback in this week Tales from the Prepper Pantry Reordering for the pantry for the rest of 2021 (The process and reasoning) Thankful for Mama Sauce and broth making adventure Reorganizing canning items in advance of canning season - will do a water bath canning webinar in June Almost time for honey Operation Independence She might be pregnant!  Main topic of the Show: Find your reset 25 mile hike that turned into 23 miles because we found a shortcut. Why backpacking: Increase confidence Tire out the body to clear the mind Preparing for a longer stroll  Great way to spend time with Mom What you should do: what works for you? Clubbing, a trip to the spa? International travel? Volunteering at a food bank? Church? Kayaking? Hunting? Finding your reset is different for everyone. List what characteristics must be there: Lack of interruption Physical activity Few people vs many people Times of “no inputs” A goal Set the stage for a true reset (handling of urgencies while you are resetting, addressing I cant leave, money matters, duration) --- choir story Pregame your thinking - decide why you are going - or decide that you are resetting to find the why of it all. Think about this in advance so your mind is set to noodle while you go. Use a reset to celebrate your successes -- the hike was set for after the LFTN workshop on purpose. Track your lessons learned: One step in front of the other BALANCE requires delegation When you are in the backcountry - you figure things out (men skip ahead here) We do not need what we think we need I must drop one business unit this year if I want to grow revenue There are many hours of monkey work ahead and once they are done, the clerical road ahead will get easier Finding your reset amid times of high stress opens your mind to simple solutions, helps protect your health, and brings perspective.  Membership Plug MeWe reminder Make it a great week!
