Helping each other through hard times

Boing Boing had a great article on Socialstructing today.  I call it bartering, it’s how I got by as a single mom; I bartered for 2 years of diaper service, years of haircuts, massages, baby sitting….  It’s what used to come easy when we had extended families close by…   The recession we are in is making people rethink how to help each other through this.. 

So give some thought to what you have to offer, what others need.  I for one am putting this out there… I am a Nutrition and Life Couch and Chef, a seamstress, avid gardener.  If you have skills we could trade for, give a shout!!  I also have a wonderful yard, so if you don’t have space to garden, come over and grab a space and tend to it!
