“Start where you are,
use what you have.”
This encourages us
to ‘start working’ on our dreams
“today”,
with whatever and whoever
we have in our lives.
Whether this is moral conviction,
creative thought or
actual tangible resources,
we can use all of these
to live ‘the kind of life’
we want to live.
Very often,
all it takes is
“belief in ourselves”
and then we are well on our way.
This helps us
in our personal development
and inspires and motivates us
to ‘use what we have in our lives.’
Also,
to be content with our lives.
Starting where we are today
encourages us to take proactive steps forwards
into the kind of life we really want.
This gives us
a sense of accomplishment
because we can look back and see
how well we have done
and how far we have come.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

everything will always be okay in the end
You remember how good it feels to sleep, now your answer should be yes and no, you re-member re-join and re-emerge with this gift of sleep seeping us closest to death, the peace, the lightness, the nothing and everything within those moments is true bliss, we have no clue how many pauses we've gone through that sat us right next to death, the idea of death is scarily beautiful in the number of times we've held hands, gazed in each other's eyes and become one again and again over and over, we don't really remember but we re-member, a member of this whole, outside the concept walls of 'time' how long were we gone for?

Foraging Appalachia’s Wild Edibles
It's that time of year again and Appalachia offers a remarkable abundance for anyone willing to learn its seasonal gifts and practice careful gathering. Across ridges, holler's, stream-side's, and meadows, edible plants, berries, roots, and fungi appear through every part of year. Knowledge is key and teaches not only what can be eaten, but also how to gather with respect so that these resources remain available far into future.
