Medistating: Living Life on Purpose

I asked Dwyer how old he was when he decided to sail from Washington State to Patagonia and how much sailing experience he had.  He said he was 25 and none.    Dwyer doesn't let what looks like it can't be done get in his way and I am happy he is on the side of sustainability, healing and the planet.  We need people like him to forge new paths and open our eyes and hearts to new possibilities.

Check him out at dwyerhaney.com and on instagram  as dwyerhaney as well as bendingbirchhomestead.  You can also check out this link to get a look at the stoves that he makes  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-k5VLAs82g.

Have a great week and enjoy the show:)

I have learned a lot from my pets.  Mostly they have taught me and allowed me to be vulnerable and to lead with my heart.   It took a number of years to become aware of the gifts they offered me.  I have a few regrets, guilt and a little shame attached to my behavior toward them in the past.   I don't see them as pets or even  dogs anymore.  They are simply beings that I choose to be with and enjoy and laugh with.  This new perspective wasn't possible for me when I was stuck in my head and hiding from my emotions.    It is painful to say goodbye but if I choose to stay detached and minimize the pain of loss I am also choosing to miss out on the love and laughter.

Joe loves beans.   Not just to eat them but what they can do to save the planet.  At least his little corner of it.  His story is unique in the specifics and universal with the desire to become a better person and more aligned with what he really thinks he's here to do.  Going to college, discovering farming, and then the path to sustainability, healing, nourishing, justice and community brought him to beans.  Enjoy.

You can support Joe by buying local through Vermont Bean Crafters https://www.vermontbeancrafters.com , All Souls Tortilleria https://www.allsoulsvt.com  and Taco Gordo https://www.tacogordovt.com .  You can also support his mission by taking care of the earth and helping where you can to create a community that is nurturing and just.

Anger creeps back into my life now and again, unlike in the past.  In the past, anger was an emotion that was more in control of me than I was of it.  I am much better at recognizing it now and using it for what it is.  Anger offers a jolt of energy and focus.  It helps me to have the courage and focus to either get something done or to set new boundaries or to communicate clearly.    I believe that I have come a long with with my relationship with my anger.  I feel it and see it for what it is, an opportunity for growth!  Yeah ME:)
