Resource manageMEnt ..we forgot not just time/money are NB!
Using some of our scarce time to first lift our spirits, actually will make the work much easier.
TIME SPENT RAISING OUR SPIRITS IS GOOD MANAGEMENT OF SCARCE RESOURCES ..
Oct 7, 2021, I just said to the Crossing Guard " I just wasted an hour that I so should have been WORKING! I am so great at WASTING TIME" But as I thought more about that, I realized it was NOT TRUE. Had I begun work as despairing as I was .. I would have made sales proposals but sold NOTHING! But walking and "working" to find things that could LIFT MY SPIRITS was an hour far better invested. Whether writing or selling in a down energy vibration, nothing will work well. Everything "works" better when it has GOOD energy associated with it. My walk raised my spirits, transported me to NYC's St Mark's Village. Only in Toronto I was in East Chinatown. Because this was an early walk Chinatown WAS MISSING. Anyone walking there in the morning, would have no clue how vibrant it is once the stores put our their fruit and wares, and there are customers crowding the sidewalks buying produce and plants. Walking in TO everything was closed, boarded up .. one would question is anything still functioning here? Are these stores still businesses? It was fun to imagine how different the energy would be in another hour!
This "spirit walk" reminded me of St Mark's Place, NYC. Except my experience there was even better. I was out to casually explore NYC with no idea I had found the famed St Mark's (late 70's music history area.) I discovered St Mark's Place at night, thriving and exuberant. It was so wonderful! I immediately went back the next morning, only to find .. it must have been my IMAGINATION. Very confusing, did it disappear? The exciting wonderful street I had discovered was .. NOTHING. No life, things seeming to be boarded up and none existent. Since this was my first experience with time space confusion, of course I researched and investigated, even bought books to learn the history. Today, re experiencing the St Mark's adventure here in TO., with a GONE Chinatown, that was so vibrant yesterday .. EASILY RAISED MY SPIRITS. My walk transported my soul to my beloved NYC. Can we learn to do this on call? Escape to places we love whenever we need to? Is that part of meditation? Let's work on our own version!
I guess today everyone must be using cannabis to do this? At least in TO. every fourth store SERIOUSLY .. is a fashionable cannabis shop. These days we need whatever helps us raise our spirits. Lucky for me, architecture, neighbourhoods, industrial history is a cheap adventure to lift me out of despair. What raises your spirits? What makes you forget all the stress and worry and just feel peaceful. We need to find that so we can grab it whenever we need a tool for calm.
Find what raises your spirits, prayer? yoga? family? nature, animals, reading? walking? photographing beauty? Whatever your TOOLS are, invest your time in them happily without guilt .. because your work will be much better quality and more quickly and easily done! Raising our energy vibration is never a waste of our time resource! We can even turn negative things from liabilities into assets, adding to our resources.

Managing the resources left .. we destroyed most of them!
Wayfinding and other great losses to our humanity .. in our ever faster quest for "Shallow Progress"
MOVE THIS! June 1, 2021 .. It is frightening how many tools to make life better we have systematically destroyed. All in the quest of MINDLESS "progress". This was not even on my radar until the WAYFINDING book was just introduced to me. An ENTIRE BOOK how GPS has destroyed part of our brain and our INTELLIGENCE!! Maps through history actually developed part of our brain!
I always loved maps because I could pretend I was a bird, flying over things. A stupid screen was just a weird experience missing something! Maybe the realization there were no maps and how much work it must have been to. figure all of it out! Give me that paper map I can MYSELF MANIPULATE. I never want to live by GPS .. I want to have studied what is around me and not have some stupid ROBOT A I tell me where to go. (I had enough people tell me "where to go". This old lady wants to be an INDEPENDENT way finder.
So I was right all along .. GPS is BAD .. destroys our ability to imagine and picture like WE are the drone ourself! Once I finally obtain this book I will share more. But it made me think of SO MANY RESOURCES WE HAVE DESTROYED in the last70 years of "progress".
1) FAMILY .. Marriage/ Divorce / divided families .. difficulty for children!
A family can be a fabulous resource. But not all of us have one. Oh, we may have a family but it is a LIABILITY, not an asset! Family is where we need to be built up and feel safe and loved. Today Children have a far far harder time with divorce and beinf raised by one parent without the role model of age opposite sex
2) Common Sense, Logic, and Reason
3) Quality .. replaced by "Just buy again .. (new improved)"!
pass furniture down! Buildings as works of art, vs crumbling and falling apart in a few decades
4) Manners
4) Truth .. a decline begin by Advertising and Marketing, now just LIES
5) Imagination, creativity and inventiveness, out of the box VISION !
kids building with wood blocks and then legos, or creating Forts were learning invention and creating something new .. today a screen is life itself, dulling human imagination and creativity
6) Neighbourhood and REAL Community
forfeited for profit! "I have land, what if I build 50 stories on top of it? I can multi my profit by 50X .. while I destroy connection and create resultant selfishness. I create loneliness and its depression and help make a drug industry rich but a population poor in every way.
7) Physical Health
our most important resource .. lost to make processed food last longer .. OR .. to make more money off the diseases it creates? in Canada the same guy owns most food stores owns most our drugstores. His President's choice convenience food is delicious AND OFTEN ON SALE. Yet it has tons of chemicals. It all fries our brain so we spend more and he even has a BANK to profit from our lost discipline!
8) Brain Health
Right and Left Brain Hemisphere wiring has been destroyed by toxic processed food. More divided, with less ability to compromise .. life gets much harder
9) Education .. a BASE FOR QUALITY OF LIFE
Intelligence .. a resource we can create on our own .. if not too busy with instagram and twitter.
Create "Heaven" .. where the sacrifice of compromise is EASIER!
We have destroyed every normal way of life that made us human .. how do we FIX this? Can we rebuild?
read this great questioning
I have not yet read but sounds very interesting. Kind of like the questions that brought me to this RE education curriculum. HAH! When the web began I figured us teachers would all share our best lessons and eduction would become great! In a way I am now doing that but we can all be teachers of our own obsession area!

WE WANT TO TRADE RESOURCES .. WHAT ACTUALLY HAS REAL VAlue?
awesome ? cartoon .. What is "value"??
VALUE? .. I was so excited about the Blockchain Ledger .. but Bitcoin will just be the same old stupidity. It uses the same energy as Argentina. Great! We are really trying to think more carefully about "green", eh? Horrifying. God must want us off his planet! We are too stupid to live on it .. ungrateful and completely irresponsible.
My "Reverse World” was trying to take people's skills and talents and trade them for personal income vs begging for a “job” or receiving Universal Basic Income. Everyone wants to feel valuable, not just get a hand out.
This kind of blows your mind about WHAT REALLY HAS VALUE? .. community, a sense of belonging won’t make the Stock Market .. but have more VALUE in Society. All those mass murders are guys who feel isolated and ostracized.

old ideas .. be creative, go back to old ways
Trade .. Barter!
Not just my garden carrots for your cabbage .. how about a lonely old person with empty house? Trade a room for tech help, help with heavy harder things and just companionship. Each gets what they need for a better quality of life. Think this through in different creative ways. A Single mom whose kids you can help with etc.
Back to buying only "on sale". I used to make this game.
Galen Weston owns us .. all our Food and drugstores. I live on his convenience foods when on sale since I have no time and no $ .. or I buy everything ALWAYS on senior discount. Now I found some drugstores that sell REAL Food. I actually bought real groceries vs processed food at 20% off! I feel like I robbed a bad guy .. its fun! Find places that have good prices or shop the sales!
Make soup, casseroles and stew, to use up all leftovers
Start with a home made base or no chemicals purchased base. Throw in all the little leftovers and sad looking vegetables in the fridge. I am a germ freak but eat food weeks past "best before". It says "BEST BEFORE" .. not "going to kill you after"!
Whatever vegetable and meat is on special this week, make extra and freeze
Much cheaper than convenience food or take out when you are in a rush.
Use coupons and "Free coffee after 7", etc
We have time to make this a Game. Bigger quantities are always cheaper. Could we get together with our Apt floor and share Costco high # discounts? Trade cooking from scratch between neighbours you trust for hygiene habits. Scratch is much cheaper than take out. We will support local biz when we get more secure.
Buy in bulk but at hygenic stores,
I was a germ freak long before covid, so Bulk Food Stores give me the "willies?" (yech! .. did someone mean spit in it??). But some are very careful and maintain a watchful eye. Imagine the saving in packaging waste if we went back to this method. Also it allows you to buy more the amount you need for your size of meals.
Vegetables are cheaper at small neighbourhood Fruit markets.
Buy your vegetables at Markets where they are most affordable and you are supporting local business.
