If I had to distill the most comforting beliefs I’ve discovered, over the years, it would be: * Deciding that I’m a child of a Living God & that I can cultivate a deep relationship & surrender my fears and pain to Him. * Learning that my thoughts are not always accurate nor are they always mine. * Realising that my thoughts matter equally to my actions. * Recognising that the love and acceptance I crave is ultimately from & for myself. #selfdevelopment #strategies #lifelessons #selfreflection #authenticity

It’s dawned on me time & again, that my dogs are the best friends I’m always yearning for. #dogs #love #family #bestfriend

If you review your family history you will see how many ‘patterns’ get passed on from generation to generation. Look to the patterns - the things that have repeated and the stories that get told around the dinner table. They can often be loops that become familiar, that can create systemic experiences that gets played out again and again by different family members. Example: Your grandparents put their life savings into a corner store. Within a few years, the big grocery stores open. The story the family tells themselves that they were unlucky & that it was just bad timing. (The story can leave out important info like perhaps they never researched their plan; perhaps they were not solid business minded folk; perhaps their products or service missed the mark.) Then years later you open a meal delivery business only to find that the grocery chains suddenly start selling ready made meals at a margin you can’t compete with. You and your family start bringing up how unlucky you are, similar to your grandparents. Everyone nods their head, and exclaims yes, that must be it. These stories get digested, instead of picked apart with curiosity. One interesting experiment you can do is to find out what stories are told about your birth. Then try to find out about the stories told about your parent’s birth if possible. Then reflect on any similarities with your children’s birth. Often themes will emerge. Ponder them. Ask yourself, what other themes play out for me in connection to my family? Are there things you’d like to claim, things you’d like to change or stop? A powerful strategy for breaking family inherited patterns can be as simple as declaring out loud “I now demand that all known and unknown agreements that do not align with my highest good be removed now.” This is a powerful way to disconnect from family patterns that do not serve us, that we aren’t even aware of. #selfempowerment #inneralignment #freedom #choice #selfawareness #release View quoted note →

I’d love to get my son on Nostr. He’s 11 and makes his own wrestling figure videos. Anyone else have their kids on here that I can start supporting? #nostrkids #grownostr

From Inside the Machine: Proof of Work from a Fashion Retail Veteran I’ve spent years in fashion retail management, running high-volume stores where “stimulating the economy” wasn’t just a theory — it was the entire business model. Here’s how it works: Every week, we received fresh stock drops — not because we’d sold through the last batch, but to create the illusion of scarcity and urgency. Marketing teams craft seasonal narratives and “must-have” trends on rotation — Seasonal, Holiday, Repeat. Visual merchandising teams were tasked with resetting the entire store layout weekly, sometimes overnight, to make old inventory feel new again. It worked. Foot traffic continuously surged. The same customers visiting the stores weekly if not daily, not wanting to ‘miss out.’ They bought the same regular basics in new packaging every season. We celebrated “units per transaction” and “basket size” as KPIs — not quality, not longevity, not usefulness. The truth? We were professionally trained to turn overstock into desire & to stimulate constant spending. To dress up overproduction as “style.” To measure success by how fast we could move goods… not how useful they were. Not because people need more clothing — but because the system needs more consumption. What this actually means: • Landfills piled up with last season’s markdowns. • Staff burned out on endless resets and inventory churn. • Customers on constant low-grade dissatisfaction, wired to shop again to feel momentarily “current.” And all of this is called “economic growth.” So yes, I’ve seen firsthand how we are taught — and teach others — that mindless consumption is good. Yet we all understand that destruction ≠ value creation. Just because something is consumed or destroyed (like clothes constantly being bought and discarded), doesn’t mean it adds real value to our lives, our economy, or our future. The Global Free Market isn’t stimulated by burning through resources faster — it’s built by people creating lasting value, not manufacturing false demand. Mindless consumption isn’t growth. It’s just burnout, dressed as prosperity. It’s time to build in alignment with something more honest, more regenerative, and more sovereign. We don’t need to consume more to thrive. We need to stop mistaking dopamine hits for economic health. #ProofOfWork #FashionInsider #AlignedLiving #LowTimePreference #ExitTheMachine View quoted note →

We all know the control system is speeding up every second of every day, which leaves the average joe with no motivation for looking inwards—too busy resting or recovering from doing all the things, or too adapted to running on the hamster wheel to carve out the time and space required for self-reflection. What most of us may not realise is that we have to force a slowdown from within. Some of us—those who naturally crave space, seek their own company, and yearn for a life that feels aligned—are more attuned to this. We notice the pull of too much busyness. And when we do, we press our own off switch so we can reconnect and renew. You may recognise this in yourself: a natural disdain for the 9–5 grind, for working five or more days a week. You’re a daydreamer, a seeker, a visionary—always asking, “Am I living my best life?” You’re quick to notice when you’re stuck—in a role, a relationship, a habit, a vice. And that gives you an edge. It’s called self-awareness. And when followed by self-correction, you’re on track to live an aligned life. This is the gold. Because step one is knowing yourself—what you need, what doesn’t fit. Step two is acting on that truth. Each step has its stuck points. But when mastered, they become your greatest tools. Tools you’ll return to again and again: To leave the job that drained you. To walk away from the relationship that no longer fits. To loosen the grip of a mental load that robs your peace. And if you’re brave enough… to step fully out of the control system that steals your everything. To do that—to take action—is to walk the hero’s journey. The call to adventure begins the moment you question what you’ve been handed. And what follows is the unveiling. It is certainly a hero’s journey in life, when we decide to unpack the parts of us that keep us enslaved. Because these parts of us ultimately come down to fear. OUR fearful beliefs of what will or can happen if we truly stand on our own. How terrifying. How empowering. How freeing. #AlignedLiving #SovereignLiving #TheHerosJourney #GlobalFreeMarket #peertopeer #yestr
