Independence Days update
Written by Kate Petersen on July 26, 2008 – 8:34 am -I haven’t updated this series in several weeks because I haven’t done a great deal. It got too depressing to keep writing “nothing this week.”

Independence Days - week 4
Written by Kate Petersen on June 22, 2008 – 7:08 am -Sharon Astyk’s original post, the inspiration for this series.
A mixed bag this week. I’ve got clients mad at me because of missed deadlines and three new work projects that I need to get started on, so non-work time was at a premium. (I suppose that “making money” counts toward independence, though?)

Independence Days - week 3
Written by Kate Petersen on June 14, 2008 – 11:00 am -Sharon Astyk’s original post, the inspiration for this series.
This week is a lengthy report; I paid attention to this challenge this week and have a lot of successes to tell about. I’ve also changed up some of the categories a bit, to make things clearer or to tailor the challenge more closely to our site and what we are doing here.

I haven’t accomplished much in this regard this week. Hopefully next week… Read about what I did manage after the break.

Independence Days
Written by Kate Petersen on May 31, 2008 – 2:58 pm -Idea shamelessly stolen from Sharon Astyk.
I’m going to do this every week, most likely on Saturdays, and perhaps you will play along too. The idea is to do something every day or every week to further your sustainable lifestyle, to take one more step toward Food Independence.
It isn’t a contest to see who can do the most. It’s more like a weekly reminder, a deadline to check in with people who will help hold us to our goals, and a place to brag when we did do something above and beyond the ordinary.
