I greatly appreciate all the input and advice.

I still stand by my original purpose and focus on creating my site. My wife and I talked about it last night and were going over pros/cons, the benefits of our site versus others, and at the end of the day it still fulfills a need; we will still stay with it and continue moving forward regardless. 

I am not giving FB a dollar of marketing. In 2012 when I started my business I tried FB for marketing and saw then it was a sham. I need to look into authoring and sending the newsletters to the current base. I have planned on writing some Articles as we are certainly personally involved and enjoy many aspects of Homesteading (raising chickens included).

I watched 'The Mind Explained' on Netflix recently, there was an episode called 'Mindfulness' that discussed Meditation and its effects and that's something I have never tried before, nor really gave it any thought. Here in the states it has a negative association by default for some reason, but it's growing for sure. I will give it a go!
