Naked Lady Soup

Part memoir, part manifesto, part magical realism, this fast and funny novel tells the story of a group of young, creative, single women trying to navigate the absurd and hilarious woes of modern relationships while also trying to stay sane, make the rent, and manage to enjoy what’s left of their youth. Written in 2008, 180 pages.

And, it’s free. This is not a trick or a sales gimmick. It’s just a book I wrote and I can’t be bothered to sell it and it makes everybody laugh so here ya go.

I do ask for your email address though, so I can follow up and send you nerdy stuff about plants and permaculture.

Enroll and get more info at www.freepermaculture.com/permaculture-for-beginners Hi, everyone, it's me, Heather Jo Flores, and I just want to make a quick video to invite you to jump in to my new Permaculture for Beginners class. It's going to focus on whole systems design and on empowering you to start doing permaculture no matter where you live. So one thing I just want to throw out there to sort of tease you, tease you into joining us, is I want to tell you a story about how when I first started learning permaculture, my very first class, I went with a group of friends and we were, you know, very interested in the topic. And of course, we love plants. And we were getting into gardening and seeds and we wanted to learn more about whole systems design and ecological design, how to think like an ecosystem idea. And after the class, we were all sort of laughing in the car. We were like, oh, the stuff is all so obvious. It's such common sense. Why isn't it common practice? And one of the people in the car was like, well, I feel like I already know this stuff. And exactly, that's exactly what this course is designed to help you discover, to help you realize that you have this intuition. You have these connections already inside you and and I'm just here to help you uncover them. So that's what this class is all about. And we're going to get into some real hands on site assessment and learning how to recognize a microclimate, following natural patterns, etc. . So I look forward to seeing you in there and let me know if you have any questions.
