Ready or Not, the New Year Begins… 

The list is virtually endless when it comes to what area of life preparedness planning touches.  Each month we attempt to focus on a main theme, yet inevitably the theme expands and other areas of necessity come to mind.

PREPARE Magazine is designed to give an overview of preparedness options in multiple areas of our lives. As with any topic, there will always more to be studied, more to be tried, more to be practiced and perhaps even a better way to do something that suits your needs specifically. But the fact of the matter remains; in every area of life if we are oblivious to the need to prepare for a contingency we are doing a disservice to ourselves, our loved ones and our community.

Preparedness living isn’t quite compartmentalized into bunkers or food storage. It is a mindset, a practiced skill of looking at contingencies. And as we all know, a potential contingency can change at any moment, in any area of life.

 

Just think of the many roles you may have in your own life.  You likely wear many hats. You are not merely an employee or entrepreneur, you are not the job you hold, you’re not merely your education, you’re not merely a father, mother, husband, wife, brother, son, sister, or daughter. Each role you have has its responsibilities, it’s joys, its struggles and it’s rewards. And preparedness looks different from each and every angle of each and every role you or I have in this life.

Our goal here at PREPARE Magazine is to help you be encouraged in whatever role you have in life to enjoy the preparedness journey of your own choosing.  The authors, designers, founders and support team all want to inspire you to think for yourself and be spurred on to prepare in areas that you feel are important.  And yes, we know…there are many.

Here’s to a Happy New Year of Preparedness – Your Way!
