One of my best ways to eliminate stress is by being in a state of passion.

Whether it is in your job/career, relationships, or the downtime activities when you re-charge your ‘soul battery’, if you are living with passion, negative stress just melts away.

All of the new communities for music and sharing are great, it is a great exposure to what once was an impossible task for independent artists.

As we continue to evolve into an I-WORLD with IPOD's, IPAD's, I-CARS and I just don't know, can you hear the music or do you just have a loud noise coming out of your headset that sounds like something that is played on radio or television?

I sincerely appreciate all the response to my first off-the-grid post here. Your interest rewarding and inspirational. This blog entry is in response to many of the questions concerning how or why we chose to do what we did. I hope it answers those questions. Its a slightly long post but hopefully will help put you inside our heads during the process. enjoy.

I'd like to tell a little story about an experience I had when we first moved to where we live now. Its a small little rural mountain town in northwest Montana. We came from the bustling city and suburbs of Chicago. Big cultural/lifestyle change.

Five years ago my wife and I moved from a large metropolitan area to a small, remote western area, in the mountains and have developed an off the grid homestead. We are practicing self sufficiency, conservation, organic gardening, and learning to live more simply. We miss nothing of our previous urban lifestyle. We have unplugged from the television and most other mainstream medias.

Why, why, why can't I seem to correct my self defeating ways...? I'm having serious trouble leading a healthy, proactive life for myself and the ones I love... My mind craves and accepts things that I know aren't good for me.

Life is a mystery they say,and sure.....I agree. As we wander with our friends wonder and gratitude<<<
