“The habitual thinking of your conscious mind establishes deep grooves in your subconscious mind. This is very favorable for you if your habitual thoughts are harmonious, peaceful, and constructive.” – Joseph Murphy Dream bigger. . . . ^I was going to make this post yesterday, but didn't make the time. Last night, I had the most magnificent dreams. Ive been taking a few steps to stay harmonious with my values recently (if you watch my ig stories you know what's up) and my subconscious must be very satisfied--in my dream, I got to be with my dog @mocha_chan_ricks as she was passing. Cozying up to her one last time, at peace with our last goodbye.♡ In another dream, I got to witness molecular entanglement occur, it was larger than life yet came from within. ☆ In my last dream, I was flying. It's been a while since I've flown. . . . Welcome back, Chanti. ♡ I've missed you. (at Quito, Ecuador) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrLQBrkHn3W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=brcx7biozxdr

It took a while to see, but they bring out the best in me. #sisters #dayones We grew up under the same roof, yet we have such different personalities. @hapatime @lifewithjazz @ireneybeney you allow me to see the world through different eyes and values, yet with commonalities. We share the same origins, family history, story. Took me a while to value that. There's no time like the present to thank you for your patience, open ears, open minds and open hearts. We are an extension of each other--whether we like it or not. 😉 And I love it. ❤ #family #pillars xoxo - the middle child #middleoffour #howsthatpossible #ifyouknowyouknow (at St. George, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq3n4piH_sv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qyv3e0qrx3j3

"I can't believe you can do that--that you can live in this time like that." It's been 11 months since going "zero-waste." All of 2018. I single-handedly have prevented around 730 to 1200 lbs of trash from reaching the landfills. The average American makes 4.4 pounds of trash/garbage/recycling/food scraps according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2013. (Though I never was average so that's why I gave a range of lbs of trash.😉) My calculations are under assumption that I only cut out 2/3 of my garbage, which I feel is under estimating, but in this linear cycle it's not possible to be truly zero-waste. Technically I've just been living low-waste. And I haven't been perfect (no such thing!) Of course I've forgotten my reusable to-go utensils and containers when out on adventures around town. There's a learning curve. But for the most part, in a typical day nothing leaves my hands to drop into a garbage bin. I have been able to stay conscious about what I need and what the options are. 👀 And girl, not only am I surviving, I'm thriving out here!🙌💃 It feels so good to live in harmony with my values and to know everyday that I am greatly reducing my part of society's widely accepted, however, detrimental actions towards the environment.🌎 We can help our planet.💚 Do you want to hear more about my journey?? #consumertoconscious #sustainability #dogood (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqz-rHNnkRf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q3389gfvveit

《Thanksgiving, 2018》 I’m grateful for this holiday off work that families and friends can come together with love to eat and laugh, reminisce and just enjoy the evening with one another. I think spending quality time with loved ones is irreplaceable. ❤ • It’s important to make the most of the holidays, it’s also important to recognize the false narratives that this holiday was given. That it is not a day to be celebrated in honor of friendly relations built between the colonists and the indigenous, as there were none. Ethnocentric historians inevitably buried the truth from classrooms and textbooks, but as with any area in life, it’s imperative that we strive to learn more than the information we're handed. 🔎📚 • History cannot be undone, but we can always help the current situation. Support native businesses, restaurants, entrepreneurs, artists and musicians @calinalawerence @vientoxsol @rayezaragoza 💪 Speak up when you must; listen, always. 🌱 Follow the movement @urbannativeera and a happy birthday to the CEO and founder @joeyymontoya !! 🎉🙌 (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqnMMO4Hz7w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ruqccrvzerw2

All smiles with @mocha_chan_ricks (she's not impressed) bc it's the day 'n age that California  Cruelty-Free Cosemtics Act has been unanimously passed by the State Assembly to end the sale of cosmetics tested on animals. The legislation prohibits cosmetic manufacturers from selling any cosmetic in the state if the final product, or any of its components, was knowingly tested on animals. This will go into effect starting January 1, 2020, with some exceptions for regulatory requirements  Once the law is signed by the Governor, California will join the European Union, Switzerland, India, Israel, and other countries that have already successfully banned or restricted testing cosmetics on animals. "According to the Humane Society of the United States, 100,000-200,000 animals suffer and die as a result of cosmetic testing every year – a figure all the more alarming since science now offers other state-of-the-art methods of testing which do not involve animals." Yes we're moving forward! #toxicfreeliving #lowimpactliving #cruetlyfree #sustainableliving (at San Jose, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWuj1bhixq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rviehv9fgdqx
