First Post!

Ok here it goes! I, like so many internet savy individuals am starting a blog! I hope that unlike the majority of blog operaters I dont fall of the wagon and leave the empty internet alone without my awe inspiring entries. ;)

My goal here is to chonicle my quest for a peaceful way of life that is accesible to everyone. A way of life that I have been researching and expiermenting with for the past 15 years. I have lots of knowledge...but alas I am imperfect and have often lacked the discipline to stick to it..although I will say that I am pretty darn good at getting back up on the proverbial horse as it were...and I am always striving to do better...to start again.
So here it is my new start. My focus is on a peaceful way of life that is HOLISTIC. For me that means YOGA, Vegan Diet, Permaculture Gardening,Right livelhood and a sustainable and frugal lifestlye (eco consumerism).
All of these things together have formed a thought process in my head and I have termed it being an eco monk.
Because in order to have peace in the world I must "LIVE SIMPLY, THAT OTHERS MAY SIMPLY LIVE!).

I have a theroy that I will gain many rewards from the fullfillment of these goals..
More time, money and friends!
Lose weight, reduce my arthritis, allergies, horrible painful menstruations,  skin rashes, headaches..etc
The most important reason for living this lifestyle is because I am aware that my actions directly effect every person and the whole of our environment.
I am aware that I have been conditioned by immature souls, through the use of fear and manipulation so that I feed into thier reality and their system.
Well Folks the BUCK stops here!
Im voting with my dollars...and I will no longer feed the systems/people/politics that oppress and abuse our beautiful home and its wonderous inhabitants.
My focus/time/energy/MONEY and resources are only going into the above mentioned areas because that is how peace is made..by shining our lights bright on the paths to peace and turning or backs on the manipulative, greedy, easy and seductive paths to assured destruction.
I know that I can only control me and what I do and I know that when I have given in to the dark side I am always the one that suffers while the spiritualy blind prosper.
No more.
So here it is my conciousness expierment..
