3 Things to Ensure My Freedom
by @el-nailul
I do realize that sometimes we “think” there is a high big barrier right in front of us, make us “suffocate” to get or freedom. My friend, it is time to rid of it out from your life. There is no barrier at all. Yes you are at difficult situation, huge bill to pay, or you need immediate medical treatment, or many other problems. But, listen carefully, you will pass it as long as you are willing to do so, and you can get your freedom as well.

I will fight for what Is Natural
by @trucklife-family
Surely we are not free if women cannot birth freely or our future generations cannot be be born freely without a cascade of interventions that put the mother and baby under so much stress. So my next action will be to continue to educate people about birth.

Sowing the Seeds of Freedom
by @canadianrenegade
To ensure our freedom the Renegades will be establishing a homestead. We will create food security by planting orchards and gardens, and raising livestock. We will learn how to preserve what we grow so that in the years we see poor harvests we can still keep our bellies fed. We will tend the land so that it continues to provide, not only for us but for generations to come. We will network with our neighbours and build our community because, when you have community that which you cannot provide for yourself, you can receive from others.

Choosing Freedom | How We Are Taking Action to Claim Our Freedom
by @mountainjewel
We are choosing to reduce our workload and take time for enjoying life to ensure our continued freedom. With all the externally imposed expectations and cultural norms we live with, it behooves us to take our lives and freedom into our own hands. We are capable of imposing mental slavery or liberating ourselves with the basic and simple thoughts of our everyday life. So today, we choose freedom and release expectations and unrealistic standards.

Thank you @sagescub for another great challenge. Congratulations to @el-nailul for the big win, I definitely enjoyed reading that piece and felt like it really hit home for me. -Aimee
Ps. Matt and I are wondering if we will see you at our Prepper Challenge? We hope so, anyway. 😊
Totally agreed!
Wow a prepper challenge? Sounds intriguing! Sorry I saw this comment so late, I have been busy and didn't get too much steem time the last few days. I see that I have 2 days left... I'll try to join!
No worries! You actually have until May 3rd (9 days left) to jump in. Since there is random chance rolling the dice we wanted to give people ample time to get their ingredients in case they don't have them on hand. Cheers, Aimee

I'm so glad that you won... your essay and your message was really great! Please enjoy it :)
Oh man... this is the second of your freedom challenges I missed!!! I would love to get involved again, but at the moment I barely have time to write my own posts.
About 5 weeks left 'till freedom for me can really statt flourishing. Moving onto the property I had been talking about first weekbof June, so we have been busy busy busy...
Anyways, I'm happy to see you're still keeping on with the challenge and steem on!
Awesome @senorcoconut!! You are making it happen!! That is so much more important than time spent on steem. I am happy and excited for you :)
I hear you on that and spring is here and I am in the garden more... still I love to share on steem but my steem time is becoming more limited (by choice of course). I think that's a good thing :)
Keep doing great things @senorcoconut!

You too @sagescrub, keep on sharing your thoughts and skills...I like learning from you
