  • Whittlesey Karinita the answer 'why' is usually 'fear'. .... though sometimes but another answer is because of a "need for patience in life".. bc life, though simple, is in fact also beautifully intricate (not sure if i would use the word 'complicated"... but sometimes when one "allows an idea" to come to life instead of "acting on an idea" allowing oneself to just sit back and be 'with patience' sometimes ideas more easily happen. .. because sometimes, sometimes, people are not ready for certain ideas, or statements or questions.. often when I encounter people flooded by certain beliefs or emotions or perspective, i have oftn slowly learned that sometimes with a little bit of patience on my part to wait till a person is ready to receive a thought or information or an explanation -- sometimes waiting until the other person is open or sometimes waiting until I know a different way of approaching an idea. .. although I can think of many almost countless times I have learned and relearned this lesson and observed this, i will give a recent example from this fall: late last year I had an experience of a concept I wanted to share with my mother and for weeks I kept repeating an explanation of the concept to her and for months, I got nowhere until finally one day, I stopped repeating the same words and the same request and gave myself time to be patient and not ask and not explain and stopped trying to be understood and stopped trying to ask, and simply waited and i allowed a quiet patience to flow through, i finally figured out a way to help her understand what she had wanted understanding about and had at least gotten some of my own needs met for being understood a little better, at least on that particular idea... but even outside this example, often I have seen in life, times when I wanted something or asked for something, knowing it was not the right time, later when I had allowed the idea or concept to go dormant for awhile, life just sort of allowed it to grow more naturally and life flowed more naturally towards that idea on its own. then again, if i hadnt spoken up in the first place, maybe the seed might not have been planted to begin with.. so i guess that goes full circle to the quote of the importance of "yep, speak up now to at least get the growth cycle started.". even if it is years before one sees the actual seed sprout. , lol.

Draft of what happened and of what should have happened

Originally posted  november 09, 2025 10:07am To catch people up on what happened or on what was supposed to happen . So we made a deal with a consultant where he would find someone who would buy my ex out and who would then let us but back the home from them.   What we had understood was that we would be forfeiting our share of the home in order to have more time to raise up the money to buy back our home.. As we had understood it, rent and taxes would be covered for a whole year and we would have exclusive rights to buy back the home for at least a year. With continued living there as an option as long as we could come up with the rent money. But then one month in,  all hellstarted to break loose  when the neighborhood started going after our yard for things that for attributesthat had been tolerated and basically grandfathered in lreviously, but right after the home switched hands they started nitpicking about every little details...  and then...

Some bits that we want to ensure

By
One) we need to make sure that after mom passes away that we are going to be given several years to both one) recover and two) to be able to sort through & organize everything that is there and to sell off 80% of the non edible plants while we make room for and get started on bringing in the perennial  edible plants that will take a couple of years to get established and become productive.  During this time, neither the estate or us will be bringing much, if any, money in --- but the taxes & utilities will still need to be paid.   (I will be lucky if selling the non edible plants will bring in enough money to be able to buy the edible plants.) So we will need the silent investor's help during this time.  We suppose it could be made so that this money will need to be paid back before the estate could be considered "bought back" Two) we will need reassurances that the silent angel investor will help make sure that the estate will be able to buy itself...

Mission Statement

Mission Statement for our Home Project: To digitally record the evolution of our home and our  lives (with a video, audio, & photographic record of whatever we see, hear, observe experience) as we slowly learn to live in regenerative symbiotic harmony both with our home, with ourselves, with each other, with the wildlife and with the overall world around us and with life itself, in order to be able to share this journey both with our future selves, and others, along with whatever future evolving AI comes to exist... Our goal is to be able to do this with the  home and land we have a history with and which holds great sentimental historical value to us.  We wish to be able to utilize our family's land with which to share both our own journey in hopes that will inspire others a a different way of living & thinking that that connects to our past and our desire to teach what we have been learning about creating a food forest edible ...
