A few words about yourself
This is KristinX writing from Billings, Montana. Our family has been living the Radical Homemaker life for over two years now and finds that it fits us just right. Anyone interested in contacting me can write to opananokosi@gmail.com. I’d enjoy getting to know others sharing this path.
I have started a Google group for anyone who wishes to discuss Radical Homemakers with other and to connect with others who “focus on home and hearth as a political and ecological act and center their lives around family and community for personal fulfillment and cultural change.” Join here: http://groups.google.com/group/radical-homemakers?hl=en
I live in Fife, WA. I am currently a divorced homemaker, but will need to find a job in 3 years (will start looking next year because I know it’s difficult to find a job, especially since I only have a high school education). I love living the frugal life, although those I live with (two of my sons and an uncle) aren’t real crazy about it. However, I do hope to pick up some encouragement and ideas from this website. I would love to find some work to do at home, but I have no talents to sell! I’m still looking for it, though! I hope to find someone who lives fairly close to me so we can exchange ideas, etc., face-to-face.
Hi Simsgirl -
Your situation touches on an important issue that we all need to be thinking about. I hope you’ll be able to get ahold of the book and spend some time reading about Amanda Shaw, and how she drew on her life skills, newfound passions and relationships to rebuild after her divorce. There are other stories of divorce in there, but I think hers will resonate most closely with your own. In the meantime, you might consider leaving some contact info so that the shy folks who don’t like to post on the site might be able to find you…perhaps you could open up a free email account and let people respond there?
