Thank you for taking the initiative @thedarkhorse in creating this platform for newbies. I have been blessed in getting some exposure through the weekly contest. It really is worth making the effort - although I have to admit it has been a huge effort for me. I have found some amazing but undervoted posts but homesteading life is so chaotic that I can never get my proverbial Steemit ducks in a row. Today I'm gathering those little ducks to introduce some valuable Steemians in this weeks #payitforward.
My first is a two-for-one-deal. While I've been following and chatting to his wife over our similar hippie health ideas I've only recently started following @alaskatactical. Alaska is top on my to-do lists and I love the fascinating contributions from this faraway ice wonderland. The tribute to his wife convinced me to include @alaskatactical in this post
@alaskatactical/this-post-is-owed-to-my-wife
He says of his wife @alaskahippie "She does not get the monetary gratification for the work she does. So the least I could do is give her all the credit she deserves....." This husband and wife team share a passion for healthy homesteading life. And in the frozen Alaska terrain at that. This is teamwork!

Next is @corrielaine who has contributed with kindness and compassion towards me, particularly on the tragic situation with my autistic stepsons. She is a kindred spirit and has so much to offer. While she extensively covers serious topics she also has a witty sense of humour, as evidenced in her recent post. I loved this short read. While we know the term that someone is grounded - have you ever considered the truth behind the fact? By walking barefoot on the earth, preferably wet soil or grass, there is indeed a energetic and electrical connection. It is truly like recharging the human battery. But have a look at how her family do it:
@corrielaine/minimalist-shoes
She describes herself very much the way I would describe myself "hippie-homesteading-homeschooling-homebirthing-vaxawarenessspreader-and-truthseeker"
The third entry took hours of searching. Why is there so much garbage on Steemit? And so much well paid garbage?! That said; I found this little nugget. Another healthy Steemian who writes concise and informative posts. Because I absolutely believe in and advocate natural healing (as opposed to medical intervention) I was convinced to include @celestialrooots when I read these words in his earth apple post:
"My wife is on a strict diet because we are reversing (successfully) her primary progressive multiple sclerosis, and she used some of the yacon today as the sweetness in some brownies. They were really very, very good. Restrictive diets don't mean we have give up comfort foods - we just have to be a little more inventive"
Because I love tumeric and have experienced its anti-inflammatory healing power in both my animals and family I am sharing his short write-up about tumeric. Did you know there is red, yellow and white?

Please check out each of these Steemians. They have a lot to offer and need some recognition. Restful weekend to one and all!
And that, dear readers, is a wrap!
