Other ways to live

Now that I am no longer watching ANY propaganda—whoops!—mainstream media, I have so much free time to fill with learning and doing new things!

I found Brooke Whipple’s YouTube channel, Girl in the Woods, and I love it.

Why do I love it? Let me count the ways:

I tested it with my one word for this year by asking, “Does this ALIGN with my values?” Freedom? Check. Being brave? Check. Getting outside? Check.

Also, one of the absolute best ways to get out of your head (read: anxiety producing thoughts) is to ground yourself in your body, and one of the best ways to do that is to get outside and be in nature.

So in addition to being able to pretend I am out in the woods alone building a cabin, I also am learning a lot exactly what skills are needed for this. You know, just in case I ever decide to be brave and actually do it! Keep reading

Learning to shoot

I talk a lot about ‘being brave’ and ‘doing the thing you think you cannot do.’

I don’t just talk about it, though, I actually do it. In 2020, I decided that I wanted to learn to shoot.

As is often the case when learning anything new, I didn’t know how to get started. In the past, I might have let this be an insurmountable obstacle.

This time, I did not. I made this happen. Once I let the Universe know my intention, people showed up to help me.

In less than a year I have learned how to shoot a handgun and now am learning to shoot 12 and 20 gauge shotguns. Keep reading

Trifecta of resolutions

by | Jan 9, 2021 | Clarity, my one word, Someone's gotta say it

So as I mentioned in the previous post, my practice for the past several years has been to choose one word to focus on every year rather than making a list of resolutions. For 2021, however, I am breaking my resolutions-fast.

Here’s why: I spent a lot of time in 2020 trying to help people to see and know the truth about many things and for the most part, it was not effective. I know this because I think maybe only about 2 (padded estimate) people actually did appreciate and/or benefit from me doing this.

I was leading horses to water all day long so that they could drink but instead of drinking, they were dying of dehydration.

I couldn’t understand it! Why was this happening? And then I was talking to my friend Tatiana about it and as she so aptly put it:

“No one told them they were thirsty.”

BOOM.

Everyone has access to the same information that I do. Everyone can think for themselves. Everyone can analyze and vet the available information and make their own decisions, without any unsolicited help from me.

What a relief!

Because the truth is not the same for everyone. My truth is mine and your truth is yours and in many cases, never the twain shall meet. Also some people do not want to know the truth. It took me a year to wake up to this but now that I have, I am so relieved! I am only responsible for myself so from now on, I’ll do me and you do you. Keep reading
