Jersy Mike dupe & goodbye July

 

Here we are, the last day of July.

My self imposed seclusion from most internet stuff has been quite productive.

I actually have been quietly moving away for a month now.

Somewhat intentionally and also surprisingly unintentionally.

This magical box with all its benefits of instant knowledge

is also a time suck away from what really matters.

It brings out the best and worst in people.

I was surprised at first.

Now, I have evolved to recognise the who, what, where, when and why's

of it all and can detach with a certain amount of Grace.

The human part of me sees where this will bring people.

People are either light bringers or they are not.

People can either add to the peace and healing or they will not.

People will show you who they are ....even the ones who tell you that

they are the light, they are right, they are truth, they have *morals*.

But not one has done any work on themselves, real work.

They would rather point out perceived flaws in others.

They lack the ability to be humbled, accountable....

Be it by a power greater than themselves or something else.

And THAT is huge.

We can now see who lives their truths and who does not.

I want to be around kind people

.Not people who are nice in some instances.

I also do not need weakness. 

It is so draining to be lectured by someone who recites

memes and platitudes while showing me in real time that

they are terrible people.

No self- evolution, no self- awareness.

Humble strength is a  powerful thing..

My heroes in my life story have all shown me this trait.

Do not tell me, show me.

This, the last day of July is the gateway to the golden start of summer.

the leaves are mellowing, no longer vibrant but moving every toward the

seeds and fruits they will produce.

The birds here at the hollow ( that is the hollow above via the vikings drone)

are still protective of their babies yet the babies are almost as big as the parents.

So many things happening on the property ( I will post about it after it is all completed)

that it gets sucked into the seasonal tide that sweeps through every day.

Like the thunderstorms that break the humidity, as soon as you get used to it,

it changes....moving forward in the calendar .

The golden  light will get longer every day....

Me? I sink into it now. I am officially a part of this place.

It is way harsher than my old life, harder on my body, heart and mind for sure.

Though I spent years pushing against it...

I like it, It is not contrived or trendy... like the artificial lights and sounds

of the suburbs . It is real, it is true to the seasons and it it peace.

I have found me.

🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿

We just got our first Jersey Mikes here in this region and people are

flocking to try it. I, of course can not...the cross contamination

is a no go for me, so I found this instead.

I admit, I added cheese and onions and ate this with steak and chicken.

Delicious!

And low carb friendly ( for those like me who eat this way)

If I had to leave you with advice on this last day of July it would be this.

I used to think having 1500 *friends* on media platforms was a good thing.

Unless you are selling something or promoting something then no.

Nope.

I rarely surround myself with people I always agree with,

 that is what makes

parts of my life spicy and exciting and fresh .....

I want to be open enough to show humbleness but solid enough in my own self

to hold my ground when need be.

You all have such a wonderful story to share with the world.

I hope you know that... you.

Not the brands you buy or the organisations that you affiliate yourselves with or 

what you regurgitate from the internet.

You are amazing.

Now go...go into August knowing that and lets see

what powerfully wild and peaceful memories we can make!

xoxoxo
