Frontier Women

A Blog for Trailbreakers Living at the Edge

Welcome To Our Site...

Frontiers are edgy places. They’re where people bushwhack and pioneer their way into uncharted territory. This blog is for and about adventuresome and spirited women living at the edge, improvising, learning how to sustain ourselves and thrive. It’s for women who love dirt, animals, the open sky; who love, and learn from, Nature (Mother Nature and human nature) in its splendor and harshness. In a very real sense, we are pioneers and this blog is a space to share how to do things, what we observe and in general give voice to what we think is worth knowing. We hope you’ll join us.

Emergency Preparedness

Everyone’s talking about emergency preparedness since the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. I live on the Washington coast and am seriously pondering the fact that we’re overdue for a big one.  Really?  Is there a way to prepare for something that catastrophic?

The Red Cross and other emergency prep folks say we should put away food and water for 3 – 6 months. Costco sells 6 months and 1 year supplies of dehydrated canned food. Here are a few websites that might be useful:

Emergency Preparedness Kits at REI. Shop Emergency and Survival Kits and First Aid Kits.

Signs of the times

Posted By on April 2, 2011

Have been sitting here this morning thinking about the time we live in and what a challenge it is to stay in the Light.  An astrologer friend and I had a discussion this morning about how, astrologically, each quadrant of the astrological wheel offers the cardinal energy (creative/desire/passion), the fixed energy (manifestation/destruction) and the mutable energy (mental/integration/preservation) that, when taken together, create the patterns of all life.

I appreciated a way to think about and feel into the patterns I see around and within. I’ve been pondering all the ways we use to explain the magnificence and the mystery of life.  In case you want to explore,his website is: http://www.signsofthetimeshistory.com/
