I can\u2019t wait to get away from Covid coverage.\u00a0 I\u2019ve learned a lot, helped many, and yet I\u2019m really anxious to get back to my main work in the world, which has to do with cultivating resilience.<\/p>\n

This has been a huge year for us here in the Martenson household.<\/p>\n

First, we moved right as Covid was breaking across the world.\u00a0 The closing date on our new 182-acre property here in beautiful Chester MA was January 28th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

My first ALERT to the world about a mysterious virus was on January 23rd<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

From that date and for the next 6 months I was producing daily videos.\u00a0 Oh, and writing weekly content for the Peak Prosperity website.\u00a0 Oh, and moving.\u00a0 Oh, and assembling my first ever real estate syndication deal.\u00a0 Oh, and converting our new property to a working farm.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a lot of \u201cands\u201d for a given year.\u00a0 Thanks 2020!\u00a0 But what 2020 had taketh away (visitors and travel) it also giveth \u2013 lots of time at the homestead.<\/p>\n

And not a moment too soon!<\/p>\n

Look, the world is an increasingly unstable place.\u00a0 It is absolutely correct and right that people should become more resilient.<\/p>\n

And that begins at home.\u00a0 Maybe even right on your own garden.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If 2020 has done anything, it has normalized what was once \u2018fringe\u201d by making it completely obvious that the systems upon which we depend are rotten, unable to self-repair or reform, and therefore more fragile than we thought.<\/p>\n

Our national health \u201cmanagers\u201d are not leaders, and are completely unable to escape whatever conflicts of interest bind their tongues as well as their hearts.\u00a0 The political system is corrupt through and through and completely uninterested in any sort of introspection, let alone reform.<\/p>\n
