Hello, pEPL!
Welcome
Eight Petal Life (EPL) is a blog about living an intentional life on Eight Petal Farm in Alaska. It is a guide to intentional living – that is, living life with intention, on purpose. The way I try to do this is through three main ways: modern homesteading, self-improvement, and organization.
I hope that by sharing our experience here, you will take away some ways you can live a more intentional life!
What is an Eight Petal Life?
- Self Development – focusing on the Eight Petals (more on that below).
- Organization – tools to help you along the way.
- Modern Homesteading – managing energy that goes in and out of your body and your life
What are the Eight Petals?
1. Career/Mission/Community Contribution
2. Physical Health
3. Family/Friends/Social
4. Environment/Cleanliness
5. Personal Growth
6. Recreation/Fun/Vacation/Hobby
7. Romance/Intimacy
8. Money/Finance/Cash Flow
Life – on purpose.
How we live is important.
We only get one shot at this thing called living, so why not do it consciously, on purpose, with meaning?
Who lives at Eight Petal Farm?
