I feel many of us just seek a peaceful life with purpose but how can we all experience this when we are consumed by the very systems we built that demand so much from us…

The peace we all seek to me is just personal embodiment found when your hands and feet are in the earth moving and reconnecting so one day you can feel nature welcome you home.

Fruit is a lagging indicator.

I was walking through our orchard just now. We’ve been slowly developing it for about ten years.

Feels a lot like building products and businesses for 20+ years:

prepare the ground
prune what drains life
protect what’s fragile
wait longer than you wanted

And every once in a while, by the grace of God, the pollinators pass through.

@spencerforhire The men’s ware guy had one of the best runs… Biden might have dethroned him…

@dieworkwear someone coming for your thrown.. 😬

@shelbystardust That’s the best gift he could give is his silence 🤐

Now if only he would give that gift to the world.. its would be his kindest act to humanity. And to thank him we will all try and forget about him.

Loneliness comes in many shapes and fourms all invisible to the outside observers eye most of the time regardless how close you are … what we see on the outside is rarely what’s happening on the inside.

We’re like a pendulum swaying between the dark and the light and in those shadows it cast things can get dark even for the brightest souls.

So my thoughts are - it’s best to not assume someone’s healthy mental state and check in with love ones and friends expecially the ones we precive as always having their shit together as nobody checks in with them and they tend to never ask as everyone sees them as the one to go to when in need…

Anyways much love… and check in with friends and family regardless of their gender

There is no such thing as the 'male loneliness epidemic.'

I am guy. Most of my friends are male. None of us are lonely because we go out in real life and do stuff.

@craigweiss Or the best- fake it, till you make it, that ever did make it.

@HunterBiden @delicatebliss BC, Canada is one of the most beautiful places here some random shot of just random non tourist areas

It’s just beauty everywhere you look.

Yes sir… huge gains could be made if everyone tended to their environment respecting the biodiversity and nurtuing it instead of… flower less grass that suck up huge amounts of water and time.

Imaging even 4 billion people taking the role and the actionable steps seriously to restore their lawns.

I should start a landscaping company that goal is to go out of business and run out of clients once everyone’s yard back to it more natural state

It’s a Short term business for long term social and ecological gains…. Prob won’t due well as a publicly traded company though 😂

[GetOutside🌳⛰️ @GetOutsideAdv]

Unpopular opinion but I love wildflower lawns my kids love it my dog loves it the bees love it insect frogs snakes birds you name it they love it…. But for some reason socially and culturally lots of humans disagree… I feel this is in part of our major issue with our collective connection with nature or lack there of!

Less lawn, more nature, nurture you nature, so you feel at home with nature!

(As I write this I’m listening to a city mower whack down a bunch of wild flowers and blackberry bushes behind all the fence lines and I’m not sure why as it’s just a walking trail with plenty of room to just trim it not wack it down to its roots…. )

@DevonBuildHappy What’s a weed though?? Many thing we classify as weeds are both food and medicine and helps treat both soil and air.

But I usually just do a single mow end of the year before the snow flys and leave it to mulch over winter

@Circe24468970 💯 love a good swamp

Wab Kinew: I reject the idea that we have to be slaves to surveillance capitalism in order to participate in the modern economy.

We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.

Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬

@ItsThomAnt So what’s the required wait time? Gotta be decades right 😂

[Kevin Dahlstrom @Camp4]

Two guys meet for coffee.

One is worth $50,000,000.

The other is worth $50,000.

Society would say the first guy is more successful… without knowing anything about their lives.

It seems absurd to pass that sort of judgement, and yet…

You and I fall into that trap every day:

—We idolize the rich and famous without knowing anything about their personal lives.
—We use those same narrow criteria to measure our own success.

Most people have never taken the time to define success for themselves. So they inherit society's definition.

I created a simple exercise called The Ideal End State to help you with that.

You simply bullet out your best life, with no constraints. Paint a vivid picture that can serve as your North Star, guiding decisions.

Here’s my Ideal End State. You’ll notice that there’s no net worth number on it. Nothing about fame or follower count.

I’ve gone through this exercise with dozens of people, from billionaires to broke people. It turns out that most of us want the same things:

Vibrant health
Freedom and control
Deep, intimate relationships
Adventure and meaningful experiences

Most of those things don’t require $50,000,000.

But they do require clarity.

P.S. A great life isn’t a birthright, it’s a privilege that it earned. It took me decades to get there. But one things’s for sure: you’ll never reach your Ideal End State if you don’t define it.

😂 Hunter Biden been on fire this week, what an entrance to X he’s had….

[GetOutside🌳⛰️ @GetOutsideAdv]

But those dgaf hungover 🤕 sends I did in my 20s were magical but also a thing of the past!

As I get older I drink less and less just because it dosent serve me and my goals all the often but every now and then on a hot day after feeling accomplished and worked a cool drink is a wounderfull treat and when done positively I feel little of the neg effect but if I do it often then it’s noticeable and becomes negative ( for the past 8 years I think I’ve had booze maybe 5-10 times a year 1-4 drinks on average 2 … very little )

Seems like a happy middle ground to be on
