@jonpetrich got me started on this platform, as my motives are similar to his, are similar to yours. i've done some community work in the county and have seen smiles created by selfless giving. why not replicate that online?
even if there's nothing physical for me to build or paint or grow, there's the emotional security that comes with having a place that feels safe and welcoming. plus, the sharing of knowledge in the homesteading group - y'all are amazing! so much ingenuity, plus so many creative people! i love it!
