 Creating a community dedicated to healing, self-sustainability, and promoting of education and implementation of technologies and alternative energy to achieve freedom and independence.
A community, in my opinion, is a very lofty goal. However,I believe one should aim high. If you fail to achieve the goal do not despair. Instead, look at all you accomplished in the attempt. I have been truly blessed with many gifts. Gifts I need to share in order to be fulfilled. Having said that, I hereby declare my immediate intention.
I intend to create a immediate support group or "family" in order to then create the community. This world is rough on those who do not conform and most of what I do is non-conforming. And those who wish to join the cause of making our world a better place know or will know of what I write. I have been dedicated to making a difference all my life and I know there must be others out there. We need to come together. It is the only way.
