December 29th, 2005 - The Riffle
If you love the woods, but live in the city, you may enjoy The Riffle - Our Image and Audio Publication by Linda Vining. I ran across her about a year ago, when I previewed her ebook on “Kitchen Chickens.” She does beautiful nature photography. She now has a monthly subscription website, which includes a weekly audio/image experience. I’ve had the sample email sitting around for a month or more and finally looked it today. I should have looked sooner. I’ve been debating whether $3/mo was too much for a monthly Riffle…and now I find out I’d get four of them.
I’m signing up. I NEED more touches of nature in my life. It’s my main connection to the spiritual world, and I don’t have enough of it in my life. I’m hoping it will inspire me to go out and walk and hike more, too.

Thank you — I stumbled upon your blog and it was soothing balm for my holiday weary eyes!
My spouse and I are also raising a little girl and struggling to bring voluntary simplicity into our own lives.
It’s nice to see we aren’t the only ones trying to make it work. Bles you, and happy new year! :)

actually, it makes me want to go out and hike right now. sometimes it’s difficult to get in a nice walk because green space is scarce near the city (or it is often manicured–blech). i loved living near the niagara escarpment because the whole ridge is green and there are lots of places to go. someday a small woodlot with a few chickens (the little ones that lay real green eggs) would be nice.
happy new green year
