Rich Heat #smartawakening #stopselling #startsharing Retailers consider every exchange “consuming”. The only things we “consume” are foods and beverages. They return to the life cycle after they are consumed. The pepper in the photograph we grew in our local community garden. The cheese in the photograph was made less than 15 miles from here. You can’t buy the pepper you have to earn it. Buy cheese made 15 miles or less from your home. Share what you grow and buy what’s made in your neighborhood. I post on my feed to encourage you and myself to discover where we live and share what we learn. I’m not selling anything, my products or lifestyle or me. I’m sharing. What we buy, goods that we don’t consume should be purchased with the intent of that object lasting your entire life or several lifetimes so that it can be reused. That’s true of package too. Buy used, well worn and loved products whenever possible. Awakening is the “ah-ha” moment when we feel completely, freely engaged, fully integrated, interdependent in life. Smart awakening is acting in accord with the knowledge that comes with being awake. Having the “ah-ha” moment is not enough. The impact of the moment is measured by what we do and how we act. I encourage you as I encourage myself to live a life of discovery and the act to be fully aware and alive. Love your life. #share #act #love #life #fullyawake #responsible #accountable #workhard #playhard #playfair #sustainability #sustainablerelationships https://www.instagram.com/p/B29RN4tno95/?igshid=128z34mg62vx1
