What is Authenticity?

Hello all!  I can’t believe it has been over a year since my last blog post.  I have been itching to write again and I have quite the list of blogs to write.  Over the past year I have been thinking about what authenticity is and how some people may not have thought about it much since it isn’t something that is taught very frequently.  For this post I am using the definition of authenticity as: “authenticity is the degree to which one is true to one’s own personality, spirit, or character, despite external pressures”.  So why have I chosen… Continue reading

January was an interesting month for me.  Some might call them unfortunate events but for me they came in a way that didn’t hit me until the last puzzle piece was in place.  On January 2nd I woke up to a tick in my shin.  The following week I was hiking with my cousin at his property and had poison oak by the time I got home.  A few days after that I saw a mountain lion as I was walking out to my truck, it was walking up the dirt road, saw me and jumped into the forest.  A… Continue reading

This post is just a follow up to my post earlier this month on the election results.  In that post I basically said that I felt that the outcome was good for humanity.  I still feel this way but I want to clarify this a bit.  Here are some of my thoughts in regard to what I have seen unfold over the past two weeks.  I also have a story to tell and some words of encouragement for those that still feel in despair. The fish tank The best way I have come up with a way to describe our… Continue reading

The Tunnel

I was in my Yoga class yesterday and it was time for Shavasana which is my favorite part because you get to lay there with closed eyes and feel the difference in your body after the hard poses.  As I lay there the thought of a picture I took a while back came into my mind.  It was a tunnel for water with a light at the end showed here.  At the time I took the photo(many months ago) I knew I would use it for something in the future and the future is now.    Right after I thought… Continue reading

This is something I would like to talk about because it has been heavy on my heart for many reasons.   For those of you who don’t know what this is here is a quick description.  It is an 1,172 mile long underground pipeline that starts in North Dakota and will end in Illinois.  It will carry 450,000 barrels of crude oil every day.  Currently there are over 100 Native American tribes and people from all over the world that have joined together to try and stop the construction of the pipeline in North Dakota.  If you would like more… Continue reading

Trump Wins

It is the day after the election.  I watched CNN on my computer last night to see who would be our next president.  I don’t normally watch TV unless there is a big event including the news.  Most likely a lot of people didn’t sleep well last night, including myself as my mind was turning more than usual at that time of the night.  Overall I think this was the best outcome for humanity in my honest opinion for several reasons and I will outline them below. Why If you are a Trump supporter you are excited that your vote… Continue reading

The war on chemicals

Today I am talking about chemicals.  More so the ones that interact with us on a physical level.  The ones we ingest, put on ourselves, and the ones that are involuntarily put on us.  When I say chemicals I am talking about high concentrations of compounds that do not exist normally in nature most likely artificially produced by humans.  Now that we have that straight lets dive deeper into the world of chemicals. Personal Experience I have become more and more aware of when there are chemicals around me and how I feel after I have come into contact with chemicals.… Continue reading

Age

The age old question.  I have a few theories on age.  As I grow older I have realized that my perception of age has shifted.  When people older than me said “oh wait until you get old, it is no fun” I used to believe them and would say I don’t want to get old.  But really in a nut shell age is a duality on a different scale.  We can choose to accept it as we have been conditioned to or we can choose to defy the odds by changing our perception of age and see the positive in… Continue reading

Uber

Uber

What have I been doing?  Where have I been?  I have been driving for Uber that’s where I have been.  About a month ago I signed up for Uber and shortly thereafter began driving people around the SF Bay Area.  Here I am going to discuss why I decided to do this and what I have learned in the first month. Why Since I am currently unemployed and I need money to live I decided to try Uber out.  It has helped with the bills and basic living costs.  I can work when I want and I am making money at… Continue reading

Loving all that is

At the end of each post I put “Live better, be happy, and love all that is!”.  I am going to talk about the last part of this.  Love all that is! All we need is love Many have said it.  Most of us understand what it means.  If everyone gave their attention to loving everything around them the world would be a much better place.  It would be heaven for sure I think.  And again it starts with yourself.  If you are not in love with who you are, you can’t love the things outside of yourself.  If you… Continue reading
