Let the body do what it is designed to do.

Instead of choose .

I don't comment too much on politics online because I choose to focus on the fact that we are already sovereign and free. And I don't believe or agree with most current systems of government.

I'm not too much of a pollyanna to realize that we are all connected, especially in regards to our food security.

Food security isn't just access to food. It is access to food that was obtained with future generations in mind.

2025 Recap has me...

Continuing to navigate one of the harder junctures I've ever been in:

My parents aging and their well-being. Particularly my Mom's.

And I've dealt with a lot in my life.

My plan this year was to be connecting to other well-being and regenerative trailblazers.

Building of life of liberty, community and holistic living in person and online.

I went to The People's Reset in Morelia, Michoacán and in Bandera, Texas meeting many interesting people.

I rebuilt my website and started a Substack.

In my querida San Jose l experimented with an event where Jesse talked about presence at the intersection of indigenous traditions.

I worked in the garden and got permanent residency in Mexico for a future that as hard as I try to get clear, it's murky.

I managed a successful season selling fermented foods and worked so hard my forearms got bigger. I drove the van all over the state.

I thought I could do it all and stay on point. Still produce . I thought my well-being track would impart into my Mom and l would make a difference to confirm I'm on the right path.

My goal has been to build a brand based on well-being but I can't seem to protect my Mom's.

I'm not going to lie, it's been a struggle. I've been shown my impatience and negativity.

What I come back to is my own well-being. Which is better when I let go of resistance and surrender to what is.

When I let go of expectations.

When I take care of my own body. I'm three days into a new breathwork practice.

What matters most is how I be because you can't change other people.

I've heard many people are having a year that didn't go as planned. How was 2025 for you?

Mexico city 1rst time 2016 & last spring 2025. A lot has changed in 10 years. For me.

I'm still a work in progress, especially lately. But I know who I am more. I'm less destructible. I've crashed so many times it means less now.

I'll wax on and off about movement and getting light on your face but the most important act is within. Accepting yourself through the darkness. Accepting you can't change other people and sometimes you still want to.

Knowing the world is complicated and destructive and also it's not all there is. There is heart and the bright light of the soul.

Knowing you still want the bright of the light to shine forth. For all beings. Freedom.

Getting close to Solstice. Feels like a prayer. Time for reserruction.

Knowing who you are and operating from that fullest self is essential for well-being.

When I say know who you are, it's not your name is so-and-so, that you live where you live or characteristics you believe to be unique to you.

Knowing who you are is who is made in the fire. Through the lessons, trials and tests. The one that stands up. The one who dreamed hard as a child, led you, and is acquainted with dreams that still call your name.

We are Creators. By nature. Let's tip the scales back towards who we truly are and create a more beautiful world.

I have continued on the path in one form or another, pursuing a kind of living that tends to my well-being and those around me. But none of the therapies I am versed in is the reason that I see the world with a holistic lens.

What does Holistic Living really mean?

It seems mostly harmless to use AI bots for information but search results are spit out according to a matrix designed to keep you in it not keep you out of it.

If you use a smart phone or the internet a certain amount of AI is already inevitable but mindful of sources and to what belief and value system the information is coming from.
