Self Reliance

This months visiting teaching message was on self reliance. Self Reliance refers to many aspects of our lives: physical, emotional, spiritual, etc. but I have often found excuses of why I did not need to be self reliant in preparing my food storage etc. I've always had excuses. "I'm single" "I live in an apartment" "Doesn't BYU have food storage for all it's students?". But lately I have had pointed out to me that these excuses are not well founded and that I can start my food storage for my family. But where to start? Its seems so daunting when you think about getting together a years supply of food! So I am here to share with all of you this awesome website/blog that I have found that makes food storage simple and makes it seem possible. They have all sorts of tips and info. Its free, and you can sign up for these baby step email reminders. They send you an email every 2 weeks with a new checklist of things to do for those two weeks. They send you these every 2 weeks for a year, and after that year you will have a years supply of food storage, an emergency kit, an emergency plan, etc. I don't even know all the stuff they have cause I just got started, but I'm excited to be able to start this and not feel overwhelmed. Check out their blog. Its called Food Storage Made Easy.
