RE: Freedom challenge #2: What is holding you back from feeling more free?
Wow, sounds like you've gotten the short end of the stick more often than not in the system, I've had close family members sit in jail but they've always come out winning, so maybe that's where our perspectives clash. I think we can both agree that divesting, being more sustainable, and raising awareness are great ways to better our environments (socially and otherwise). When litecoin goes to 10K I plan on building a retreat for ppl who have been run through the revolving door of our "correctional" system. There will be earthships, horses for trail riding, and tons of home grown food to heal from the toxic diets. It will be by word of mouth, referral only for people who have committed victimless crimes, and they can help out with chores if they so please!
Yeah, my life has been a bit tough, but I have learned and seen so much. I wouldn't change a thing, except the mindset of our society.
I love your retreat idea and Earthships are wonderful structures. I have been to the Earthship Biotecture Museum in Taos, NM and am a huge proponent for natural building and off grid living. I currently live 80% off grid and have had the pleasure of building with Cob.
Your aspirations are commendable and I hope you obtain your vision and are able to build your retreat.
