Name: Jenna
Birthday: January, 1958
Hometown: Grew up in Boyds, Maryland - not far from here.
Current Residence: Braddock Heights, Maryland
Relationship Status: married
Political Views: Libertarian
Religious Views: Spiritual, not religious. If I had to pick I would say Quaker (which I was) or maybe Unitarian-Universalist.
Activities: Reading, making mixed-media art, sewing, cooking, off-roading my Jeep.
Interests: Law of Attraction/Creative Visualization, outsider art, chickens, beekeeping, tarot cards as a tool for self-exploration/visualization.
Favorite Music: Eclectic taste...no favorites.
Favorite TV Shows: TV rots your brain.
Favorite Movies: Bruce Almighty, Bucket List, the PBS Himalaya series by Michael Palin.
Favorite Books: Oh, this one's way too hard...too many beloved books.
About Me: I'm a you-can-take-the-girl-outta-the-country-but-not-the-country-outta-the-girl. I've spent a lot of time in my life dreaming about simplicity and about having a homestead, and now finally I'm able to (sort of) develop that homestead. Little by little I have divested myself of the things that society said mattered, but didn't serve me.
I have two grown kids (son's a cop, daughter's still figuring it out) and a delightful granddaughter. I work a day job as the receptionist at the local Extension office. I run a business on the side called Key Concepts - audio transcription. I'm also a massage therapist. You can see a semi-constructed Web site at http://www.freewebs.com/snallygasterart.
My friends call me Becky-Home-ecky because I took just about every home economics course I could. I'm also flat-out cheap. I despise malls, Walmart, and being called a "consumer" in the media.
I guess that's it for a start. Thanks for a space to journal my self-sufficiency. I'll have to get some photos of the place soon. I appreciate this message board because it feels like I'm among people who just might "get" me.
