Dee’s Tiny House
This video about the Tiny House Movement really captures so many enticing reasons why I want to build my own tiny home soon. I watch it once in a while to keep me inspired. I hope it inspires you too :)
Dee: “I wanted to build it on wheels because I wanted to be able to take it with me into the future, not knowing what my future was.”

Thank you, Jack
Flaming Soul
There is a Flaming Soul of Passion within each of us.
Nurtured and respected, She will light up your life,
illuminating every dark corner.
Ignored or repressed, She will burn down the walls that imprison her,
leaving nothing but ashes in her wake.
She will always find a way to leave her mark.
~ Dorothy Mendoza Row
Innermost House
Uhhh!! This is SO INSPIRING!
“Innermost house is about 12 feet sqare, there is no electricity, no hot water, and yet my husband and I lead a life of luxury here… You enter timeless time here, and without the distractions of modern life its easy to forget about everything except the moment.”
Seven years ago Diana and Michael Lorence moved to a 12-foot-square home without electricity in the coastal mountains of Northern California.
They’re not back-to-the-land types- they’re not growing their own food, nor raising animals-, but, like Thoreau, they were looking for a place where they could get away from the noise of society and focus on their inner lives.
For nearly 30 years they have lived in tiny houses, often in guest homes, though their current abode is the smallest and most fitting their needs. It was designed by Michael based on their experiences living in nearly 20 tiny homes across the country before finally settling here.
“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
–Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No New Years Resolution..
… as usual. Dont really believe in setting myself up for faliure. However, this year I’d really like to (not have to) find and decide on the land and the country where I’m going to build my home and start a rooted life, even if I am going to do it alone. Then, like the ocean I will remain calmly where I live and wait while the rivers run to me, because thats how it works. No more running around like I have been the past… uh… 8 years now. Something like that. (more…)
Romantic Love
“Romantic love, in pornography as in life, is the mythic celebration of female negation. For a woman, love is defined as her willingness to submit to her own annihilation. The proof of love is that she is willing to be destroyed by the one whom she loves, for his sake. For the woman, love is always self-sacrifice, the sacrifice of identity, will, and bodily integrity, in order to fulfill and redeem the masculinity of her lover.”
–Andrea Dworkin

Dragonfly Medicine
One of the most magical sights on a summer day or early evening is that of the dragonfly. With its shimmering wings and delicate form it seems a creature from the land of Faerie, and it is a power animal which can help to put us in touch with nature spirits. (more…)

The Easter Island Heads Have Bodies!
How cool is this? Now that I see it, it seems so obvious I don’t know why it didn’t occur to us before… right?
This little guy even has tattoos and his own house!
Check out The Easter Island Statue Project for amazing photographs with petroglyphs.
Spiders Are Incredible!
I have such a huge respect for spiders. Even when I was reeeeally scared of them for years I respected them, and would save them from screaming grown men and women who wanted to stamp on them.
They are incredible survivors. They discover, plan, wait, adapt, persevere and survive! And they have magical shiny stuff that comes out of their butts. That’s a lot more than I can say about most human beings.

BlackBxx: Haunted
I’m really excited about this project! Carnivále creator Daniel Knauf launches a Kickstarter project for new, non-linear narrative paranormal drama – BlackBxx: Haunted. A completely interactive concept that’s been in his mind for 2 years. Become a part of a ground-breaking project that could change the way we experience TV in the future. The first of its kind.
Nature’s Valium
This beautiful, psychedelic looking herb passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) has been used through the ages as a treatment for anxiety, insomnia, and panic disorder, muscle spasms and more. In fact, studies have shown it is equally comparable to benzodiazepine drugs (diazepam, valium, xanax, the list goes on) though with less drowsiness or other harsh side-effects.
Dosage: take 10 drops in decaf tea or juice and enjoy :)
How to delete your Google+ Account
Today I found out from my childhood neighbour (Gareth Barlow) how to delete my Google+ account without affecting the other Google services I want to keep.
- Login to Google+
- Click on your username (top right) and select “Account Settings”
- Under “Services” click “Delete profile and social features”
- The next page will ask you whether you want to remove only Google+ only or your entire Google account.
- Select what you want and BREATHE! “Ahhhhhhhh!”
Learn to appreciate what you have before time makes you appreciate what you had
I stumbled across some really good advice today… The 80 / 20 Rule & Relationships:
Interesting quote from the movie ‘Why did I get married?’
In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship. There is always another person (man or woman) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking in your relationship that you WANT And believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship.
But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something better with the other 20% that you WANT… more
The Universe as a Hologram
Does Objective Reality Exist, or is the Universe a Phantasm?
In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect’s name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science.
Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn’t matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart. Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. The problem with this feat is that it violates Einstein’s long-held tenet that no communication can travel faster than the speed of light. Since traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier, this daunting prospect has caused some physicists to try to come up with elaborate ways to explain away Aspect’s findings. But it has inspired others to offer even more radical explanations.
Help Save Japan’s Dolphins!
More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat. Send a letter to President Obama, Vice President Biden and Japanese Ambassador to the United States Ichiro Fujisaki urging them to address this issue »
