So I posted yesterday about us moving and life being crazy busy and my skin is doing awesome! But I wanted to share this next new chapter in my life because we have had to put it off due to my TSW which I started over 4 years ago. About 6 years ago we bought 68 acres in Kentucky and wanted to build a home and start a homestead - we wanted to live more naturally. Well we had plans t o move there in 2013 - but that Valentine's Day is when I learned about TSW and immediately (without hesitation at all) threw away every last tube of cortisone cream I owned. My husband was behind me 100% even though we both knew we were putting our dreams on hold. We knew I would not be able to work for an extended period of time and he would be stuck working over time just to make ends meet so I could heal. We had to forget building our home and moving. But here we are now.... ready to move into our new house on our 68 acres!!!! We move in 2 days!!!! Of course we may be without electricity for a few days as the power company has been tied up with recent storm damage. But this new chapter is beginning for us! And it really hit home when I got the 8 am phone call that our keets were in (baby guinea hens). I had wanted us to already be moved into our new place, but delays kept happening and the keets were already ordered months ago. I will post pictures and videos of them soon. But for now, here is the link to our very first video introducing us and our new homestead.

You will see in the video that my skin is clear. I look tired as I'm currently working nights and that has taken a toll on me. But I am so happy that we are finally here!!!!

Healing Continues and MOVING!!
My healing journey continues - I have been free from TSW for quite some time.... about 2 years. But dealing with the extra weight, the asthma, and itty bitty patches of eczema are on my to do list when it comes to full healing. I have had to put off my healthy eating and such for some time given we are moving (finally) to our 68 acres here in Kentucky. Our house is just about done. All we have left to wait for is getting the electricity in. The power company has had to deal with emergencies from recent storms which has delayed us. BUT electricity or not, we are moving our stuff in this weekend. We will stay here at our rental house until the power is all in. So there has been a lot of stress dealing with putting a house on a piece of land out in the middle of nowhere. But we persevered and here we are getting ready to move! So excited!!! My skin has been wonderful and have had very little asthma - in fact it bothers me once every 3-7 days, depending on what I'm eating. For the most part, I think I have it nearly cured....but need to be on a strict diet for 3-6 months and find the appropriate probiotic that won't cause hives. Otherwise....I have a tiny patch on my right wrist and a dime size patch on my chest. Personally I think it's yeast related as almost all my eczema cleared up when I started the caprylic acid. But going sugar and carb free for a short time should do the trick.
In order to eat right and whatnot, I need not to be under so much stress. I'm a realist so I knew my diet was not going to be the best during this time. Hopefully once we move and get somewhat settled, I'll be able to focus on eating better. In the meantime, I took off next week from work so I can get the house somewhat settled. We can't afford the new furniture we want right this minute, so we plan to buy one or 2 pieces at a time. Unfortunately we have a ton of things to buy out of pocket right now, so furniture comes last. Our garage won't be put up until end of August and our front deck in the fall. We also have to put up fencing for the dogs, and homes for the future chickens and guinea hens. Actually our guinea hens are coming in tomorrow so we will have to deal with them while also moving - bad timing but such is life. They weren't expected to ship until first week of August, but coming in early.
Just so everyone knows, I will from time to time update here on this blog, but planning on starting a homesteading blog and video series (on starting up a homestead).
That's it for now...hope you all are having a decent skin day!!
