Don’t be afraid to uproot your life every once in a while. There is potent magic in the ability to reach into the soil of yourself and shake things up, to get the nutrients flowing, to unearth new parts of yourself that were perhaps suffocating under old habits and patterns. Uprooting can be a beautiful …
Ego, Trauma and The Great Un-Conditioning

The Journey to a Low / Zero Waste Lifestyle
Look around your house. Every single product that you buy at the store is either reused (least likely or possible), recycled (possible but not the best option as it takes a lot of energy to recycle things), or dumped as landfill waste.

Behind the Title

But through it all, we as individuals, and humanity as a whole, are constantly growing up, always searching for the light. I believe that the words I share here have the …
The Tipping Point
I like to define a person's "tipping point" in life as the final catalyst for lasting change. It could be an intense event, a sudden intuitive realization, or a nagging feeling that doesn't go away. Whatever it may be, it is the thing that has the power to change a person's entire life by first …
