Earth Deeds: 1UP Writing- How I Am Helping Others & Communities

With no intention of being this late on writing my post (I do apologize to Hive account@elamental for this)... let's see how I have been connected to family, the Earth, communities and making my immediate world a better place.

Wanting to become more self-sufficient, self sustainable and self-reliant are a main focus when I started my gardening passion. Being able to provide organic produce for my homestead is one attempt I started to beginning this way of life. I do not like driving, I do not like crowds of people, loud areas and by being able to grow, harvest and preserve my bounty I am able to successfully accomplish avoiding these three I don't like to... things in life

I am constantly looking for new ways to make my own home remedies, herbal & medical treatments as well as being able to provide chemical-free health and beauty products.

When I am online; whether steemit, Discord, Weku, Whaleshares or SMOKE.IO,I am ALL about community, support and growth. I belong to many Discord groups, communities and am constantly looking for ways to help others. I write one to three daily newsletters (for Hive account@qurator), keep the Waves' Coins' Global stats for Hive account@ghscollective and am always reading posts of various topics. I try to connect with as many people online as humanly possible as I do not have an outside-the-homestead group of friends.

I did connect last week with a local church volunteer group about possibly starting a community garden and sharing some of my homestead/DIY skills with church members and congregation; so I view this as a step in the right direction of helping others locally.

Enjoying nature and the outdoors is something I have come to appreciate even more over the last two tears. Being able to provide these sunflowers, as well as many other pollinators I have in my flower and herb garden, to the bees that are here is something I know everyone is benefiting from. I love growing sunflowers for two reasons; to provide a nice autumn snack for the chipmunks, birds and squirrels that live in the woods behind our house and to have a beautiful signal (flower) for the bees to gather up pollen and spread their joy around my neighborhood and area.
