Life is about evolving, progressing, thriving, overcoming, in short, LIVING! My journey started out as a preparedness journal with freeze dried foods. And while I still use them regularly, store them and promote them, this page is going through some evolving of its own. So bit by bit you will be seeing more about me personally. About who I am by accident and who I am on purpose. Because the bigger story is not just surviving life, it is living a THRIVING life! Thrive with me, Dorie!

Oh the hardships of having to depend on food storage
Oh my. Yum Yum. Thrive went and freeze dried one of my all time favorite ice cream confections, the All American Ice Cream Sandwich!
I'm well beyond the 7th Heaven and floating towards Nirvana on this one.
Come Monday morning, we can all now have our ice cream and eat it too. Especially nice when one contemplates the circumstances one might find herself in during a catastrophe of sorts. I would take comfort in knowing I could actually turn to comfort food! There will be ice cream and yogurt as well.
Doesn't that just make your day all summer-and-ice-cream-truck happy?

GO TO YOUR HAPPY PLACE
Yep. That's me. 1 year old. What were my worries? Change my diaper, give me some food,keep me warm, play with me, love me. Pretty simple.
What has happened to my worries in the last 50+ years? Pretty complicated and definitely NOT pretty!

Well, as far as the last one, maybe not so much. What can be done? What can be done?
That's a pretty dire list. Some things are so foreign to our experience as to be almost science fiction. But some hit close to home. I've personally experienced about 7 of these hardships in my life.
So like my post says, go to your happy place. That's not to say hide your head in the sand and say it ain't so. Go to your happy, prepared, secured, useable food storage and emergency packs and give thanks for being able to read the signs of the times. Prepare yourself a happy little pantry place where good, nutritious foods can be stored in readiness for any sort of emergency.
STORE WHAT YOU EAT! EAT WHAT YOU STORE! AND BE HAPPY!
