Fuel for Health & Happiness… How it all began
With the changing times and slight uncertainties that the last 12 months have brought, there seems to me, to be more of an awakening to the fact that perhaps our lives and the world need to change – and this isn't necessarily a bad thing!
Myself & Dan have actually found this situation has given us greater clarity and direction; to focus more on what is important in life, on what is important to us, and above all the overwhelming importance of health more than ever before, and how we can all achieved this, or at least give it our best possible shot.....
It is within ALL of our capabilities.... We just need to give it the focus it deserves!
There is nothing more important or health giving than the food we eat – What we fuel our own bodies with... and the quality or 'cleanness' of this fuel.
For the last few years we have been working on making the best possible use of Freedom Forest, however, this sudden shift in motion, of life worldwide has helped us to shift our attention and focus even more!
We realised more than ever the importance of being as self-sufficient and healthy as possible, less reliant on supplies and commodities and NOW it is OUR MISSION to help and encourage others to do the same – to see the value in your FOOD, your FUEL, your HEALTH and the health of our planet and eco-system too.
So.... we took the plunge and started Freedom Forest Life, first on Youtube in May 2020, then Facebook and now here, our very own website, to sculpt, grow and pack full of content that we hope will be useful, encouraging and educational for others. Where we can share information, in long form, as well as in picture and video, where it will be easier for you to refer to, find or save recipes and growing tips and hopefully enjoy our written content too, so our passion and love of healthy, homegrown food can shine bright and bring health and happiness into your life too!
I have to say, its been quite a challenge (particularly for someone who used to go stiff in front of a camera) and HUGELY time consuming in our already busy lives, but it is also very rewarding and most of all FUN! It's helping us to grow as people as we look deeper at ourselves and into our own interests, learning more on topics where we had only scratched the surface before.
When I was younger, my Mum & Dad always said to me “I wanted to single handedly save the planet” I'm not so sure I can do it entirely on my own, but I think maybe this is my adult attempt at doing my bit to make a difference.
Life is for living, and living is getting fully engrossed and involved in the things you love the most in life!
