Permaculture Design Course Assessment

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 22, 2011Leave a comment

So, what did I really think of this permaculture design course? Well, as you could tell, it was very intensive. Honestly, I would’ve retained more info if it had been 8 hours a day, instead of 13. I was so tired at the end of every day simply from being “on” all day that the…

Adventures in Permaculture: Day 17

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 17, 20112 Comments

There was a fair amount of excitement in the air this morning. We were all anxious to be going home but sad to be leaving each other. I woke up at my normal 6:00 a.m. but hit the snooze button so I could sleep in a bit. My night of sleep was not too bad…

Adventures in Permaculture: Day 16

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 17, 2011Leave a comment

About every fourth night or so, I’m so exhausted that I actually get a decent night’s sleep.  Last night was that night, and I’m very thankful for that.  Today wasn’t too bad because we had field trips.  First, we went to SeQuential BioFuels, which is a gas station that sells solely bio-diesel and ethanol fuels. …

Adventures in Permaculture: Day 15

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 16, 20111 Comment

Today I did what I needed to do for me… I gave up.  I awoke from another night of barely sleeping and aching muscles and said, “That is enough.”  I did not come on this trip to punish myself.  I came here to learn, and I feel that my capacity to do that effectively has…

Adventures in Permaculture: Day 14

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 15, 2011Leave a comment

The weather here is simply unbearable – it’s dreary and/or raining about 75% of the time.  My vitamin D levels must be ridiculously low.  We had a session this morning with the owner of the property we’re staying on.  He talked about permaculture in general, but I did not find him very engaging and was…

Adventures in Permaculture: Day 13

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 14, 20111 Comment

Woke up this morning feeling MUCH better than yesterday and with the comforting knowledge that the course is over in 4 days and I can return to my home.  Unfortunately, today is also a cooking day for my team, so I woke up knowing I’d have little free time today.  My alarm went off at…

Adventures in Permaculture: Day 12

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 14, 2011Leave a comment

You may notice that I skipped a day… Day 11 was just more of the same with nothing much of interest to report.  It was Larry’s last day of teaching, and we will miss him.  He’s an incredibly thoughtful individual and has a very “live and let live” attitude.  He spent a lot of time…

Adventures in Permaculture: Day 10

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 11, 2011Leave a comment

What can I say about today?  Today felt like that day in medical school where they finally bring out the cadavers to see who’s really cut out for a career in medicine.  And by that I mean that we were taken to a very unappealing place where people practice permaculture.  Out of respect, I won’t…

Adventures in Permaculture: Day 9

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 10, 2011Leave a comment

I am totally exhausted today.  The bags under my eyes are a delightful indication of how I will look 10 years from now. Today we broke into the groups in which we will do our projects.  My project group is doing a report on starting a permaculture design business.  The other group: designing a permaculture…

Adventures in Permaculture: Day 8

Urban LivingBy Elsie GilmoreApril 9, 2011Leave a comment

Well, I did sleep better last night with Shannon’s camp pad… I still ache quite a bit but in an entirely different way!  Ibuprofin was my friend this morning.  As promised, below is a photo of the women’s sleeping area.  What you see is the main area with two futons.  On the sides, in the…

There are a bunch of religions in the world, and e There are a bunch of religions in the world, and each one thinks it is the authority on God.But what if God is universal? What if everyone is right?What if each of us is godly no matter what we believe (and even if we don't believe anything)?

There are so many unhappy people in the world, and There are so many unhappy people in the world, and many of them see social media as the place to go and let out all their anger and unhappiness.Maybe they don't see other social media users as real people. They throw insults even at people they agree with on 95% of things. They accuse random nobodies of ruining the country. They call people idiots whose education they're unaware of.Social media is not your personal venue to shit on other people. Instead of coming on here and taking out your issues on others, try these: taking a walk, journaling, calling a friend, snuggling with your pet, or meditating.Please be kind to others.#kindness #benice #selfcare #selflove #socialmedia #bekind
I do not know if I can survive the negativity of t I do not know if I can survive the negativity of this world. Especially since I feel more alone than ever right now.Nature will help, but I'm going to have to try very hard not to fall down an impossibly deep well. Many humans have given up hope, and it makes them very angry and mean. Which radiates out to others.Be wary of the energy you're putting out into the world because it creates a cascading effect that multiplies. Take a deep breath and deal with your shit before you pass it on to others.#bethechange🌎 #bethechange #depression #hopelessness #negativity
My day started with an incredible @cm_tampabay gat My day started with an incredible @cm_tampabay gathering. Heard some ethereal sounds from @zetathebabe and then fun poetry from @tyler_gillespi3.Later, I walked down to @theburgbarandgrill for dinner because I really needed a burger. To my delight, my favorite @stpetebrewingco beer (Orange Wheat) was on sale for $3.50! Plus, I got a bonus because I got to hug @billgeorgiou727.All these little things added up to a great day.#simpleliving #simplethings #creativity #creativepeople @thegloballoveproject
Pope Francis ushered in a kinder, gentler image fo Pope Francis ushered in a kinder, gentler image for the Catholic church. He was definitely not perfect on all issues, but he was a huge improvement over past leaders.I hope his replacement is another step in the right direction. People need guidance that is compassionate and brave, not advice filled with guilt and shame.#popefrancis #pope #compassion #catholicchurch
I love seeing my book on my e-reader!Be sure to I love seeing my book on my e-reader!Be sure to take time to read, sometimes outdoors. Read things that challenge you, make you laugh, make you think.I've been reading much more since I got this e-reader. Reading ebooks on my phone was not as pleasant. I hope to increase my reading from one book a month to maybe two! (Granted, nonfiction takes a lot longer than fiction.)#reading #books #booklover #booklovers #booklover📚 #ebook #ebooks #ereader @kobobooks #kobo
