Do you use your creativity in ways that seem totally weird to others?


Maybe being weird is just a happy side affect of all that interpretative dancing to your own rhythm, making your own song up as you go into time travel mode where time speeds up again because you're having fun..


Maybe focusing less on what they think and just have some fun doing your own thing for a while is a good start.


So what are you going to do to rediscover your awesomely super weird powers?

Living Off-The-Grid... Could you do it?

 

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live off the grid and sail around the world? I know I've thought about it  and I found some cool videos about being off-grid ... so check this out...


Living on a Self-Sufficient Sailboat for 10 Years + FULL TOUR

Brian and Karin Trautman have been living on a sailboat for 10 years, and their boat is set up so they can be off the grid in remote places for months at a time with solar and wind power providing electricity, a water maker that turns salt water into fresh water, multiple freezers and loads of storage space for food, and even a small washing machine on board! They've sailed SV Delos – a 53' sloop rig ketch – 83,000 nautical miles which is the equivalent of circling the earth at the equator more than 3 times. Their latest adventures include sailing as a family with their 6-month baby, Sierra, and outfitting the boat with a heater so they can explore the Arctic this summer after several years in the Tropics. If you want to follow SV Delos, and support their amazing vlog-style documentary project about the liveaboard lifestyle, we've included links to all their pages here: https://www.youtube.com/svdelos https://www.instagram.com/svdelos/ https://www.patreon.com/svdelos https://svdelos.com/


Earthships - America's Off-Grid Desert Community

Earthships are off-grid houses made of trash. These off-grid homes are fully self sustainable and do not require any utilities for comfortable living. Amazingly, the beautiful earthships are actually made out of garbage. In New Mexico’s desert town of Taos there is a large community of like minded people that dwell in earthships. In this episode we explore why they are there and why they choose this way of life. #OffGrid #Earthships #Sustainable Everyone seems to know of a unique location for us to explore next.
