About Patricia Mikkelson

I have a  vision of helping to create and direct the creation of a community on our country land in the Ozarks which has the goal of supporting all life to thrive and will be focused on three things:

1. Train and financially equip  community organizers to go into cities to inspire, motivate, and provide resources to people and organizations so that they can make profound changes to address those root causes of unwanted babies in the womb so that need for abortion is obsolete. They will help create alliances of all people and groups dedicated to making the world a better place.

2. Train and financially equip  pro-life community organizers to raise awareness about the negative effects of abortion to women, unborn babies,  fathers, and society. They will help create pro-life alliances in each city.

3. Provide a community setting where women in crises pregnancy situations can some to live in a safe place in order to birth their child and raise the child or be a safe retreat for the woman to think about her decision to keep the chld or abort the child.

4. Demonstrate how pro-life people are dedicated to more than a single focus of saving life in the womb by living in a way that is nurturing to our planet by growing our own organic food; treating domestic animals including those that people eat with respect; using alternative energy; building houses that are energy efficient and earth-friendly; living simply; and welcoming people of all faiths who are in alignment with our value of honoring and cherishing all life.

I want to thank the people who founded the 40 Days for Life organization and the local 40 days for life campaign participants especially Ray and Natalie Hines and Juliet Cassel for encouraging me to get involved with the pro-life movement. I realize because of the peaceful and loving actions of participants in 40 Days for Life that they are truly pro-life on every level.

Right now I  earn a living by doing the things below, but my dream is to work full time on creating the community. I  need funding and all kinds of support for this dream so I welcome people to share their ideas.  Soon I will be making a Facebook page and yahoo group to start sharing ideas.

I earn my living as professional organizer and provider of many other services including cleaning and yard work/gardening. I have a real knack for helping people de-clutter and create effective systems that support them in becoming organized.Learn more about my services as well as hints as to how to become more organized here.
