Good Evening {Contact_First_Name},

We are seeing so much truth drop at a massive rate. Many are now seeing truths that have been hidden for so long. NOW, more than ever we must reach out to our neighbors and get to know each other again. Extend the friendly invite and restore this republic. 

THIS is what we strive for at Community Resilience. 

To unlock the full benefits of having your neighborhood connected to others, membership is required. This is the first step to building a stronger more resilient community to be able to support each other when we need it most. 

We are happy to be here in this time with you as we build a better tomorrow for the next generation.

• Promote self-reliance through substainable farming practices.
• Provide training programs on personal and community self-sufficiency.

As February rolls into Northern Georgia, the winter chill begins to ease, offering an ideal opportunity for gardeners to prepare their gardens for the coming growing season. This month, we continue our regenerative and organic approach to garden care, keeping in mind that the health of our garden ecosystem hinges on thoughtful, intentional action. From nurturing the soil to planning for spring planting, February is a month of preparation, renewal, and growth. 

Let’s explore the key activities for February in the garden, with a focus on regeneration, stewardship, and sustainability. 

Part 2 of 2:

4. Planting and Starting Seeds: The Early Stages of Growth 

While it may still be too cold to plant many crops directly in the ground, February is the time to start seeds indoors for spring planting. This allows for a head start on the growing season, ensuring that your plants are ready to transplant once the weather warms up. 

• Starting Seeds Indoors: Begin planting cool-season crops like tomatoes, peppers, and herbs indoors. These plants require several weeks of growth before being moved outdoors, and starting them early will help ensure a timely harvest. You can also start perennial herbs, such as thyme and oregano, indoors now, so they’ll be established once the weather warms up. 
• Cold-Hardy Crops: For hardier vegetables like kale, spinach, broccoli, and cabbage, consider starting them indoors or sowing them directly outdoors at the end of the month. These crops can tolerate the remaining cold snaps of winter and will thrive as the temperatures rise in spring. 

5. Wildlife Stewardship: Providing Winter Habitats 

Even though the garden may appear dormant, wildlife is still active and dependent on the resources you provide. February is an important time to continue supporting your local wildlife community. 

• Providing Food and Water: Refill bird feeders and provide fresh water in bird baths or small garden ponds. If you haven’t already, add native plants that produce berries or seeds that can support birds and other wildlife. Consider adding a few insect hotels or leaving some uncut brush piles in quiet corners to shelter beneficial insects and small mammals. 
• Incorporating Pollinator-Friendly Plants: As you plan for your spring garden, think about how to make it more pollinator-friendly. By including a variety of nectar-rich flowers, such as lavender, echinacea, and sunflowers, you’ll help support bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators. These creatures will play a vital role in the health of your garden throughout the growing season. 

6. Planning for Spring: Finalizing Your Garden Layout 

With the growing season just around the corner, now is the time to finalize your plans for the spring garden. February offers plenty of opportunities for thoughtful, intentional design that can lead to long-term success. 

• Garden Layout and Companion Planting: Think about where to place your crops based on their needs for sunlight, space, and soil fertility. Plan your garden with an eye toward diversity and resilience, incorporating companion planting strategies that benefit plant health and soil fertility. Consider planting marigolds with your tomatoes to deter pests, or interplant beans with corn to improve nitrogen levels in the soil. 
• Rainwater Harvesting and Irrigation Systems: If you haven’t already set up a rainwater harvesting system, February is a good time to plan it out. By capturing and storing rainwater, you’ll be able to irrigate your garden without depleting local water resources. Also, take the time to check and repair irrigation systems to ensure they’ll be in top working order when the heat of summer arrives. 

February in Northern Georgia is a time to nurture and regenerate your garden with a forward-thinking approach that blends traditional practices with modern techniques. By focusing on soil health, pruning, wildlife stewardship, and smart planning, we set the stage for a productive and sustainable growing season. With careful attention and patience, the regenerative practices you implement now will yield an abundant and thriving garden in the months ahead. 

Is the Constitution the Supreme Law of the Land?

We consider the Constitution the supreme law of the land. We also understand that there are three roughly co-equal branches of government, but does that extend down to lower levels of legislative executive and judicial. The lower level of executive would be governors. Can a governor sign a law that overrides the constitution? Of course not. So why then do people think that lower levels of courts can override the executive? It truly should come down to the Supreme Court can only stop an executive order . . . not a district court judge somewhere.

Your Property Tax Is Complicated, on PURPO$E

The Floating Homestead Exemption Bill (HB581)

In 2024, 76 % of the People in Cherokee County voted in a special election and passed HB581, a bill to allow homeowners to exempt themselves from a portion of the increasing property taxes detailed HERE . This Exemption was supported by almost 100% of the the Senate and House vote.

So what’s the problem…

• Offer educational programs on sustainable farming, community development, and personal growth.
• Develop partnerships with local schools and educational institutions.

Join us for one of 3 Local Resource Fairs this spring! 

Each year Unite holds springtime fairs in order to give local vendors an option to meet the homeschool community. These often include music lessons, co-op, tutors and more!

Attendance is free and often the vendors come with promotions and freebies!

• Support spiritual growth through community activities and mentorship programs.

You are the Windows of Heaven

We have clearly seen God moving through our nation exposing lies and awakening people to the truth of the greed, lies and corruption by many of our business and political leaders. God is now using all of the wisdom and revelation that you have gathered over the last 8 years to help bring in the harvest of those who are waking up in our nation and our churches and even around the world. I wrote down these words as I believe He spoke them to me about His plan from Malachi at the very end of the bible Old Testament.

I am opening you as My windows of heaven to pour our blessings of truth, wisdom, revelation, power and glory. For this is a season to see My Kingdom come and will being done.  Open your heart and mind to the possibilities and I will show you a glimpse of My kingdom and My glory that you may be My light on the hill of My kingdom.  Pray to know and to be My revelation and vision for abundant life.  Let Me give you a view of a future and a hope for those things that seemed impossible or unachievable. Share a brighter future to others as the gospel of My kingdom, for you are My windows of blessings that I have opened.  Fear not the threats or reactions from the world, but overcome not by might or power, but by My Spirit.

There was no punctuation in the original text of the bible, so all was added by the interpreters. So, consider the meaning of this passage in Malachi, particularly verse 10, with the commas that I have provided. I believe God ended the Old Testament with these words for His purpose.

⁷ Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?  ⁸ Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. ⁹ Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

¹⁰ Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you, the windows of heaven, and pour you out, a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

¹¹ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. ¹² And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.

You are the windows of heaven being opened up and poured out as a blessing.

Win for the Country

FDA Bans Red Dye No. 3 from our Food  

This is a huge win for the health of all!  Red dye was removed from our cosmetics and topical medications about 35 years ago because risk of cancer.  Presently, the red dye can be found in food, drinks, and medications.  Companies have until 2027 to reformulate their food products and 2028 to remove the red dye from medications.  If you want to read more about the history of red dye in our foods/mediations and understand the potential impacts to our health particularly our young children, please click on the link below.

Pureed, juiced, powdered, or water from beets is an excellent substitution for red dye for frosting, candy, and desserts

Resilience Tip of the Week

Develop a Strong Network 

Caring, supportive people around you act as a protective factor during times of crisis. Community resilience is the ability to prepare for anticipated hazards, adapt to changing conditions, and withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. Disaster preparedness—which includes prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery—is crucial to resilience.  Find your network of people in your neighborhood, church, and other like-minded groups.
