Urban Gardening

“Patricia Moreno, the Garden Girl, was born in raised in New York City. She grew up in Spanish Harlem on Manhattan and was educated at Nightingale-Bamford School for girls. Her path to Urban Sustainable Living began in the mid 1990’s, after gaining seventy pounds during her pregnancy, and needing a way to be physically active and eat healthier. This began her path to finding and learning ways to make gardening fun and also fit into the city.” (From, “The Farmer’s Almanac“)

This is a wonderful time to add quality to your life by raising some or all of your own food. The price of eggs has leaped too. Patti has ideas. With her techniques, you don’t need a lot of land. Visit her site at: Patti..

All For Only $80,000

Kathy got herself free this month when she sold her small California home in an area that had simply became “too crowded” and moved to the Midwest where she purchased one property simular to this one but with:

• One big house

• One smaller home

• A 2-car detached garage

• Storage sheds

• And a big “picturesque” barn on 10 acres with rolling hills and lots of trees

All for only $80.00! (Kansas)

50 Ways To Go Green

In planning my exodus from Urban America, it has become increasingly clear that Going Green and learning effective permaculture planning cannot be ignored.

 MSN.com has a story on 50 Ways To Go Green. Hope it gives you some ideas.

Greetings My People

 

I’ve always thought that the concept of “unconditional love” was an un-attainable one and a concept that sets a person up for disillusion.

But I woke up this morning and realized, that black people can steal my car, pimp my sister, snatch my mother’s purse … and I will still love them.

Black people can terrorize our own neighborhoods, become the new Klan, kill my best friend, and call me every dehumanizing name in the book … and I will still love them.

Now if that isn’t unconditional love, I don’t know what is.

With that, I have arrived at the decision that it really is later than we think. We have gone far beyond the point where we can “save” black people as a whole. So it’s time for those who still can, to save themselves, and in so doing, chart a new path for others to follow.

This blog is intended to:

• Provide creative solutions for the problems that currently face African Americans
• To avoid the traps of remaining stuck in “Victim Status”
• To hopefully provoke thought
• … and occassionally insight humor
