If you’ve been around me for a while, you know I’m a huge fan of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) – a gentle way to tap on acupressure points while speaking kind, honest words to calm your nervous system and clear inner blocks. I use it daily, and I’d love to start a supportive thread where we can acknowledge our very real challenges and meet them with compassion, not criticism. #### The Invitation: Complete This Sentence The most classic EFT sentence begins: > “Even though ____________________________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” You can say it out loud, write it down, or even tap along if you know how. The power is in the honest admission paired with unconditional self-acceptance. #### 🌿 Here are a few real-life examples from my world: On sharing my wisdom: “Even though I have so much experience I want to share, but I feel unsure how to find my true tribe who will appreciate it… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” On the digital struggle: “Even though I want to connect deeply with people online, but I also feel overwhelmed by screens and long to be more present in nature… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” On the self-sufficiency journey: “Even though I dream of a self-sufficient life close to nature in Paraguay, but I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the practical steps and doubt my capability… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” On building community: “Even though I desire authentic relationships here, but I sometimes feel shy or worry I won’t fit in… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” #### Your Turn 🎙️ What’s coming up for you right now? What challenge, feeling, or situation feels present in your life? In the comments below, try it out. Fill in your blank. No challenge is too big or too small. > “Even though ____________________________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” Let’s create a wave of honesty and self-compassion. You might be surprised how saying these words can create a little more space, peace, and possibility.

I came across a concept that has me thinking deeply about what's possible: a proposed tiny, self-sufficient home designed to operate completely off-grid, powered by solar and aiming for a radical reduction in living costs and environmental footprint. While the specifics (like the brand or the price tag) are debated, the *underlying vision* is what feels important for our community to discuss. It pushes us to ask: What if we fundamentally rethought our relationship with home, land, and consumption? Let's explore the principles, not just the product: 1. Radical Self-Sufficiency: The idea of a home that generates its own power and manages its own water is a powerful step toward resilience. How can we integrate more of these self-sufficient principles into our own lives, whatever our living situation? 2. Freedom vs. Community: This model offers incredible mobility and freedom from debt. But does a truly mobile life challenge our ability to put down deep community roots and tend a garden for the long term? Can we have both? 3. Our Relationship with "Enough": Living in 375 square feet is a profound practice in minimalism and living with less. What defines "enough" space and possessions for you to live a fulfilled and nature-connected life? This isn't really about one company's idea. It's a catalyst for a bigger conversation about crafting a life that is both ecologically responsible and personally freeing. What are your thoughts? Could you see yourself in a life designed around these principles? What would you embrace, and what would you find most challenging?

Quick thought for your day: What if the food in conventional supermarkets isn't actually "normal" food - it's the weird science experiment, and whole foods are what's actually normal? Like, somewhere along the way, we started thinking that food coming from a factory in a package with 47 ingredients and a 2-year shelf life was just... regular food. And that fresh vegetables from local farms were somehow "special" or "fancy." When you flip that perspective, everything changes. What do you think happens in your mind when you reframe it that way?
