If you want to learn how to use herbs medicinally and not only medicinally but also grow them,

I can think of little else that gets me excited as knowing I can literally grow our medicine right outside our back door, then you, my friend, are going to want to make

sure that you are registered and signed up for our herbal summer series. This is completely free, though you definitely could charge for it because

it is packed with information. Once you sign up starting in August, every week you are going to get an email from me going over my top 10 favorite herbs.

Each week we are going to pick one of those herbs and do a deep dive on how to grow that herb,

but more importantly, how to use it, including safety, and if you should use it or not if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

We go through all of the cautions, the medicinal properties, and its uses.

So when you get done done you will have in your pocket and hopefully by

that point in your medicine cabinet my favorite top 10 herbs to always have at the ready. Go to Melissa K Norris.com forward slash

summer herb and make sure that you get registered. Summer school is in session and it has never been better.

You're listening to the Pioneering Today podcast with Melissa K. Norris, where we talk about

all things inspiring your faith and your pioneer roots. And I'm really excited today is the

kickoff of our 30 day preparedness challenge and so this podcast is part of that and we're

starting off with eight items that you need in your

car. So I totally have to confess something. I've really never been much of a reader or

follower of the whole bug out bag thing or that movement. If things get really bad

due to natural disasters, government failure, or some other unknown catastrophe,

I plan on staying in my home. I think that where we are

will be far better off at our home, even without power or support from the

outside world. We're fairly self-sufficient as is and we've went two weeks without power

during a winter mudslide before and smaller periods every year. We know our

neighbors I grew up with over half of them and I really do believe that having a community of people who will support one another is far better than hiding out somewhere all on your own.
