what do we need with so much SHIT in our lives?
I was having a rant to myself this past weekend while listening to all the hype of “Black Friday” and now “cyber Monday”. People , frantically trying to buy some piece of crap ( insert clutter here) when they do not need more shit!!
As I watch this display of greed, I kept asking myself why people the need to always be putting some external item in their life that does not actually fulfill, but does the opposite and in the end leaves them feeling hollow.
Of course the only conclusion is that people are cramming SHIT into their lives to fill that empty space that our working culture has imposed on us.
The culture of the forty plus work weeks is big business’ most powerful tool for keeping people in this same dissatisfied state where the answer to every problem is to buy something. Instant gratification!
We must put a stop to this destructive cycle and stop buying useless shit that will only bring us down and in the end, find its way to our already overflowing garbage dumps.
STOP Buying SHIT….you don’t need it!!

The other day, I had someone ask me about the Jumbo Wild stickers I have on my 
In 1990, a group called Glacier Resorts Ltd presented to the BC government their plan of developing a year round resort. Jumbo Valley is at headwaters of Jumbo Creek in the Purcell Range of the Columbia Mountains, and it is simply magnificent to say the least.
The significance of this region is one that has long been revered for its spiritual significance and beauty to the Ktunaxa Nation. It is known as Qat’muk, home of the grizzly bear spirit. Biologists recognize the area as critical core grizzly bear habitat and is the largest remaining tract of uninterrupted wilderness and a significant Grizzly range.
The last thing that is needed is another “resort” in the area. There is already enough development in the Columbia Valley and enough failed attempts to develop the region.
The cost of development of the resort is far to great and the last thing needed is another development that puts even more pressure of a diminishing resource.
Please take the time to watch the movie on NetFlix. It will help so much in understanding the importance of this area.

How many days have gone by where you planned to get certain chores or tasks done but then at the end of that day you've realized that you accomplished absolutely nothing that you set out to do that day?
What's more important is that you have the realization that you’ve achieved nothing that you have set out to do for yourself. The goals, the dreams, the adventures that you keep tucked away in your head as a “someday”, “when I have time”, “I will do this….. But that day…never seems to come.
We are trapped in lives of busyness, and sooth ourselves through distractions, addictions or whatever. Leisure time is now the stuff of myth and taking time to think and dream about what you truly want to do in your life is frowned upon and viewed as selfish and self indulgent. “better get back to work on that “busy” list that you did nothin about today….”
Our time on Earth is uncertain and fleeting best! This is why it is vitally important for everyone, to take some deep breaths, think deep thoughts and smell some roses. Take the time to really take stock in what it is that you want to do with this life that you have and begin to create the life that you really want and deserve.
"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way."
~ Pink Floyd - Time
Where all your rights become only an accumulated wrong; where men must beg with bated breath for leave to subsist in their own land, to think their own thoughts, to sing their own songs, to garner the fruits of their own labors...then surely it is a braver, a saner and truer thing, to be a rebel in act and deed against such circumstances as these than tamely to accept it as the natural lot of men.
~ Roger Casement
