This year has been a weird one. It’s been so hot here that Christmas totally snuck up on me, and I didn't really feel the Christmas vibes until it was here. That said, this year I’ve been able to have some of the most loving people around me, and I feel blessed to have such strong support systems & authentic relationships with great people in my life. I’m trying to take a little time to appreciate all the experiences (both good & bad) that have shaped my life into where I’m at today, and to be grateful for both of them. I’ve had lots of change this year, but I’m happy with the way things have played out in the long term, even if I might not have recognized that at the time. I’m getting a little wordy, but I have lots of love in my heart this year & I hope some of you are able to feel the same way despite how crazy life can be sometimes. I’m very grateful for all of you on here, as well as the people in my daily life who make small moments special. I hope everyone has a great Christmas / New Year / holiday season! Try to be nice to yourself. Much love, as always. - Jake

Hey y’all, figured I’d share a little bit about what’s been going on in my life. I finally proposed to my lady (she’s great), and we both took a week off work for a trip over to California! We’re spending a few days in San Diego, and a few more near the LA area but I’ll be out of town until Dec 14/15th on our little vacation. It’s been a great trip so far, but I probably won’t be super active on here besides responding to people. If you happen to know about some cool stuff that I should check out while I’m here, let me know! Much love to everyone!

Hope everyone has a good day with family / friends! If not, at least do something you enjoy. Thankful for all of you on here, and for the ability to have a hobby I love & can share with others. (And for this food I’m about to get down into 👀, talk to you guys later!)

Hey again! I pulled my little baby plant, and hung her out to dry. I've got her in my shower that we don't ever use. I moved the shower curtain rod in the middle and she's hanging from that. I put a tarp up on the ceiling, a fan in the shower with her, and the humidifier got here today, I'm getting the distilled water to set that up now, in the shower with her. Any other tips or tricks about my set up, or what I have in there is most appreciated! TIA!!

Here again! My tiny plant got knocked over, im assuming the wind got it. She is small, and was due to be harvested this weekend anyway. But do you have any tips for how to proceed? I do want to try and salvage it, just to see how my very first run, outdoors, in soil, ended up. If possible! TIA! 😀
