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

Kids

Feels like I have not written a blog post in so long…  I have been meaning to write this one for some time now.  These are my thoughts on raising children in these interesting times we are living in. My blessings I have been blessed with two awesome kids.  One girl and one boy, ages 9 and 7.  I would say they are fairly normal to today’s societies standards.  They are both smart and are excelling in school.  Both are athletic and enjoy sports, they enjoy watching movies, and playing video games.  My daughter is creative and loves to do… Continue reading

Loving all that is

all-we-need-is-love

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

Our Beloved Animals

New Image

During our lives we have had the privilege to be blessed with the presence of beings that don’t look like us.  They are unconditionally loving and loyal to the end.  They fill our lives with joy and lift us up when we are down.  I consider them angels in the physical world.  Ancient cultures have revered animals as sacred beings sometimes worthy of worship.  In my opinion every being whether human or not is sacred and should be given the same freedoms as we give ourselves.  They should be loved and taken care of.   We all know this deep… Continue reading

Law Of Attraction

lawofattraction

I first heard of the law of attraction several years ago by watching the movie the secret.  I didn’t pay too much attention to it at the time but I knew I should re-visit it at some point as it sparked curiosity.  Since then I have heard of it many times through various forms of social media.  There are several things that I have tried to test the theory.  It does work, but I have not been as diligent in making it work in my life as much as I could.  Trapped in the ego for most of my life,… Continue reading

Opportunity Knocks

possibilites

Some say when opportunity knocks you better open the door.  I am going to talk about a different way to see opportunity when it comes by.  It kind of goes hand in hand with gratitude.  You can be thankful for everything every moment of your life.  Opportunity is the same way.  Within every minute of your life you have the choice to see things as opportunities or as something else.  Usually we see situations or circumstances as either bad or good.  We tend to see the good things that happen to us as opportunities more so than the bad. I… Continue reading

Why I do Yoga

yoga-image-quotes-13

Almost a year ago I set out to join a Yoga studio to start doing it on a regular basis.  The only experience I had prior was doing it on the Nintendo Wii several years ago.  I knew it was beneficial for me but did not realize how much it could have an impact on my life so positively.  I also wanted to try and find a Yoga teacher that was heart based.  I went to Google and searched for heart based Yoga.  One teacher in the area came up in particular and so I looked into the studio she… Continue reading

My thoughts on nutrition

1df883d35721b00e29e749b3640a53e0

As I talked about before I was once eating very unhealthy and ended up in the hospital due to severe pain on my side.  The doctors were unable to tell me why I was having this pain as all tests came back normal, but they did tell me I had a fatty liver and I needed to lose weight.  I started researching why I had these digestive issues.  Initially I came to understand that I was gluten intolerant.  I felt horrible after eating any flour and yeast based  products.  I loved donuts but those along with cake and bagels were… Continue reading

Permanent Luxury Camping

Drawing by David Powell

Almost a year ago I bought a 5th wheel trailer and moved into the wilderness in the Santa Cruz mountains.  At the time I felt I was being called by the big redwoods to come live with them.  I had made a few trips from San Jose to the Boulder Creek area and knew that I wanted to be there.  I also loved the idea of living off the grid away from civilization.  By the blessings of the Universe I found a privately owned property that had a pad setup for an RV.  I towed my trailer to it through… Continue reading

The Vegetarian

Vegetarian-quote-Einstein-660x330

I have been a vegetarian for almost a year and half.  At first I was doing it to help my digestive system, since meat is somewhat harder to digest at times.  I also wanted to experiment and see what it would do for me.  Well I am happy to report that I am very satisfied with my decision and I am currently working on becoming vegan. Energy In an energetic sense I had heard that the energy of a slaughtered animal can end up in your body just by consuming it.  I have not noticed any difference in this regard… Continue reading
