About the Book
About the book:
This is not a “politically correct” book. It’s a candid, realistic book that touches upon both human nature and Mother Nature and was designed for people who are serious about living stress-free and natural.
The majority of our society is stressed out or overwhelmed and living an unnatural lifestyle. T
1) Finding time to do the things you really want to do seems impossible.
2) You’re trying to keep up with the Jones’s.
3) You’re trying to do it all and have it all to impress others and fulfill their expectations instead of your own.
You don’t have to do it all and have it all to be happy. We weren’t placed on this earth to prove anything to anyone. The Superperson complex can take its toll on your health and your relationships. Unnecessary stress can cause depression and illness. What is so great about having a big house, perfect wardrobe, and a successful career, without good health, contentment, relaxation, and fun?
There is another way to live without giving up anything important in your life! That is, if you can prioritize your wants, needs and desires according to your expectations.
Living a more natural, less-complicated lifestyle is the ultimate solution. This book provides a comprehensive view of the ultimate solution and the tools needed to start your new journey of fulfillment.
About the Author
Straight out of high school I joined the Navy to become a photojournalist. I was told “no problem” just sign here. Basic training was over and we were told to look for the Graduation Board with our names and training assignment. I was going to nursing school! What a shock and disappointment. This was not what I signed up for, but duty called - after all, soldiers were dying in
Emerging from the Hippie era, I always believed in their basic ideals (minus the free love and drugs). Living off the earth was what I really wanted. But, after the Navy came marriage and three children. Heating with a wood-burning stove was the closest I came to living off the earth.
Twenty-one years later I left a “marriage from hell”. It wasn’t long before I found my true love that believes in living natural as much if not more than I do.
Throughout my ongoing college career I have pursued four majors - Accounting, Psychology, Environmental Management and Horticulture. Without a doubt, my career in the Army and Air Force as an Environmental Protection Specialist (EPS) fit me very well.
Working as an EPS forced me to take a holistic view of how we live our daily lives. It’s astonishing to think about the chemicals we are exposed to every day. And many of us rarely think twice about what we put in and on our bodies.
Until 2006, I didn’t realize how much my experience and background would provide the knowledge I needed to live natural and stress-free in the 21st century.
