Free

We take for granted how free we are. We can do anything we want. Anything! People limit theirselves and limit their spirit, therefore limiting their happiness.


My friend Denise said to me today, "You know, sometimes I have random urges. Like...I'll look at someone, and I'll just want to poke them, and then run away laughing." I laughed when I heard it, and then I put some thought into it. And my answer is this: If you feel like doing that, then do it! We hold back so much of what we want to say or do; whether its something major and life altering, or whether its something as silly as poking somebody and laughing. And we shouldn't. We are FREE.

The day went on but this thought stayed with me, and carried with me to my night as I put it into action. I went to go get yogurt with my friend Kayla. I put my car and park as a great song came on. We started dancing in our seats. I was enjoying the song so much and laughing and having so much fun, that I took my energy to the street. And it was there that I danced with my friend. Cars drove by us, people walked by, the lights changed from green to red and back again. But I was completley immersed in the present moment. I was feeling great, and so free.

Moral of the story is...don't hold back.
Do the craziest thing, the silliest thing, do anything.

University Group Raises Concerns About BP Oil Spill Contaminants in Livestock Feed


Our story made headlines. Over 1,000 people have read it so far, and growing. We went to the Gulf of Mississippi this past summer (for a second trip), and an amazing reporter, Chris Rodda, wrote all our findings.

Brace yourself. You might want a stiff drink after reading the truth about what is going on to our beautiful world and to the human race.

Please take the time to read what you will NOT see on the news. Thank you.

Inspirations

Inspiration.

It moves us, it change us. It makes us stop in our tracks. It gets under our skin and it tickles at our senses. How do you describe a feeling of inspiration? We often find ourselves saying "that really touched my heart." And it does, because it is a feeling that goes beyond the physical. It is an emotional awakening of the soul.

Sometimes people inspire you when you least expect it. I've known my friend Jessica for years and years. I've always known her to be kind, warm, and beautiful. I didn’t know much more. It was only until recently that I ran into her. When I walked in the door and saw her and she smiled at me, it was as if a wind of good energy came my way. In minutes, I learned about her soul and how much she has grown in recent years. She knows what she wants. Shes found her heart and contentment. She is calm. She is grounded. She is strong.

I am genuinely filled with gratitude of her success and new findings in her life. She is finding herself. It is a journey that goes on all our lives, but yet some of us will die never finding ourselves. In fact, we seem to run away from who we are most of the time. Never run. Your heart and mind will be with you all of your life, whether you like it or not. What better time to learn about them, then NOW?

To a woman who inspired me to dig deeper into my soul, thank you.
I wish everybody the best of luck on this amazing journey.

with your one wild and precious life?”

Talking is Overrated


Talking is so overrated. Animals don't utter one word, yet we love them unconditonally. I think we should base our relationships and every encounter on feelings. What is unsaid is so much more powerful than what is said.

Try this at home. Look at your friend in the eye for a couple minutes. Do not speak one word to eachother. Focus on your feelings, acknowledge them and recognize them. Our mind and our heart can get confused, but it is important to recognize them as one in the same. When we can do that, we become content.
