I made a committment to myself a long time ago that I was going to listen to my instincts when I got a message loud and clear.
I can honestly say that yesterday was the first time that I really followed through on my promise.
Now that’s progress in the forward direction!!
Monday night, I had the most bizarre dreams.
I typically don’t dream in vivid color, but these dreams were no doubt, vivid.
To sum up the dream, my family and I were wandering the streets of the city that had been wiped out by some type of disaster… it was like an episode of that show Revolution where there was no electricity and everything was just dark and weird.
Dream analytics might say something else, but I took my dream to mean it was time to get prepared and not just talk about it.
About a year ago, I heard about food storage. Maybe I was really late to the party, but I had no idea that you could order freeze-dried emergency food kits that would last you 1 month, 6 months, one year, etc…
We have been talking about what a great idea it would be to have a supply of food in case of emergency, but until my dream, it was just a great idea.
I finally did it.
I went online and ordered the beginning of our food storage supply! It seems like Augason Farms is the leader in this arena, and their products are widely available.
I ordered two 30 day emergency kits and a 55 gallon water storage barrel… whoop whoop! I found the best deal to be at Wal-Mart and you get free shipping!

We figure we will start with a two-week supply for our family of four, and then build upon that.
The shelf life of this stuff is like 20 years! The water lasts for 4 years with purification tablets… good stuff!
I guess if we have no food and water, I will be ok with it not all being organic and pure huh?
Are you prepared? What do you have for emergency food and water in case of emergency?

Hey…talk to Jimmy. He has us set up with a lot already and he researches this stuff almost every night. We have the big water drum, BOB’s (Bug Out Bags – the kits you take with you should you have to leave your shelter/home), etc. He is a WEALTH of knowledge.
It’s important to know that even if you lose power in your comfortable home for a week, you can totally care for your family. 🙂
LOVE YOU…working a five-hour day today…I’m working up to it. We’ll see how it goes. 🙂 Love you.
I know Jimmy is completely set up! I think maybe we should move next door so that we can benefit from all his knowledge in case of an emergency!! tee hee.
I am glad you are able to work a bit, you have been in the forefront of our thoughts and prayers. We love you. Please take care of yourself, get lots of sleep and fill your body with wonderful healthy, healing things 🙂
