This will be the year that many will fail to find their passion or goals met, quite the opposite. Most will have to step back and re-examine the value of time, life, possessions, & relationships.

This is the big year for many who never thought they would live to see such times. No one seems to understand that time will fly by faster before the next year ends, speeding into a future where the past will be blurred as our vision is transformed to let us see what is essential here. Not the cheap distractions or the many ways to hide from the consequences of the actions most have long since made. This will be the time to pay for the things most did without being given any say, but the consequences that are coming out today were not mentioned.

Many things are changing, but the worst thing that most fear is war, the collapse of the economy, and the lack of a way to buy bread or food due to inflation. How do some feed their families when their homes are washed away? More importantly, how do you eat well to stay healthy if food gets more challenging, expensive, or contaminated by the systems producing food without disclosing the poisons inside them, such as preservatives, flavorings, or chemicals leaching out of the packaging?

What are you planning for security and backup if the world hits a gitch in the food and medicine distribution system? This is a strong possibility if there is any sort of blackout, intentional or from the sun smacking us with a giant filament or solar flare. One just lifted off while I was writing this that will not affect Earth for a couple of days, but many impacts are possible when it does. Not just electrical systems are being impacted, but so are the health and weather that feel the effects. This is especially true with so much instability in the world due to war and the global trade battles that will affect them due to their dependency on corporations that might run into issues due to the new trade conflicts.

The many attacks on health are caused by corporations that knew this was a known risk, but it was ignored for profit. The executives who made those decisions are gone and can not be punished. No one will ever be punished, but the customers in the future who pay the fines for this bad behavior that kills many every day still.

What do we who could send help, thinking Americans do that through FDA & FEMA with tax dollars in our steed? That job of those eurocrats seems to break down every time they are desperately needed, no matter where. What do Wii, the public that can see do, but wonder how the government has handled it? Is the public forced to watch, kept away, to watch FEMA and Commissioners let their lives be washed away, refusing to count bodies or give credence instead of delays? Who is in charge of allowing those people to pay with their lives for the mistakes FEMA makes by failing to send help their way? Worst still, why does FEMA keep the solutions from getting underway?

What will you do if the problems of the snow and storms cause the world to falter in its chance to help in ways that the dying people can find a way to live or stay? How do we build the houses that are needed, big or small? How do we protect the children who need a place to stay? What will the others do to help when the government does not as if they intended the people to move away? IF this is the future for the many, who may live in the areas where mining is intended when they give their title to the rich men who have plans to mine it till it doesn’t look like anything we knew as forest for our furry friends that will turn into a strip mine stretching miles that will destroy life then. What will you be doing in the coming years ahead if the mines decide they want your land and the government is their friend who comes and takes your land away without considering what it does to you?

Somehow, there must be a plan that helps humans take a stand for their land and forests, for nature and the future of their ancestors’ land. How will they raise their children with family lore and all their friends that they will never see again if they wipe out all the towns? What do the people who aren’t allowed to go back to their land, their homes, their heritage, and more? Their means to eat to stay alive are taken, so they can not thrive. Why can’t they have a tiny house to rebuild what their families lost? Who on Earth was given the right to take the land that they have with all the rights that should protect us all? Please stop the madness that takes all from those who are poor, who seem so small against the giant corps that go and take their rights away.

No matter what the corps may do to destroy the land, the critters, too, without anyone to stop what they do. It is so sad, but it still seems to be true. Someone must stand up that can not be shot down or bought up. Who will that be for those who see the writing on the wall that seems to say they must give up and leave? Where is the hero and the God that promised to protect them all? We know the president doesn’t care, and the people who work for FEMA dare to stop the people and the towns from saving themselves with the salvage that is found. Stop the madness and the taking that is clearly in the making. Can Wii do it, those “I”s that see so they can’t do what Wii see they want?

By the time most read this, it will likely be outdated. Perhaps someone will buy the land and force the emptying of the assets hidden within that I had hoped would turn into hundreds of houses again. At this stage, there do not seem to be enough people interested in such things to help so it appears this show will come to an end. Not the glorious one I hoped for where others would pick up the torch and carry it on, but time is still passing and the opportunity is still there. Will it take a miracle?

I never imagined getting to this age, let alone having it be the best years of my life.

I have learned that males peak at 66-78, but I never would have believed it without experiencing this delight. What do you do when you reach the final leg of your working life at 69? Yes, at our peak, what do you seek?

20 more years will go fast, given the last 20 seem like 10 now.

Yes, I now have the willpower to resist many temptations of my youth that were destroying my health when I was young, still in my 20s. I was only eating junk food with sugar, white flour, white rice, and many other things that were not healthy but considered an ordinary diet. I was habitually eating Burger King Whoppers with a shake daily, yet I was working at a health club selling memberships and teaching others how to do workouts and get stronger. However, I had no clue about nutrition. The book “Sugar Blues” saved my life as it taught me about how many symptoms I had for Hypoglycemia, a word I had never heard. One of the young guys working out there, a diabetic, taught me what would follow if I did not change my diet. I did not fully understand the symptoms, but once I read the book, it became clear where my emotional mood swings came from, along with more dramatic symptoms like grand mal seizures that would leave me shaking on the ground before I could recover.

Stop the abuse of your body while young so that you can stay fit and last longer than those who trash their vessel of life. What can you do to make your life better? Eat better, and work out with calisthenics or a weight room. Get out and move more, watch less TV, and do all you can to get fit while young so that you can maintain that without much effort later instead of getting fat, diabetic, and facing many problems that result from not taking care of your body. If you want to live a long, healthy life, your home, food, and activity levels will determine 80% of your success. The 20% that comes from accidents, injury, and damage due to living in toxic environments that cause cancer and other disease that could be prevented by changing where you live. What will you do for the next few decades to stay fit and be an example to your children and other adults who would benefit from your improvements? The example you can be can change the world.

Suppose you desire to create healthy housing and a healthy community and have others with the same intentions. In that case, I hope you will take the initiative now as so many people will need to change their eating habits as food increases in cost and sadly, the worst food, closest to junk food, is the cheapest. It is more costly to eat organic food unless you can also grow some, but most can not due to where they live. Apartments don’t generally provide common areas for gardens. Many could change over time to accommodate those who care about such things. In effect, you could develop a community of like-minded people in apartment and condo complexes that were of ordinary mind on how to live healthily and thus promote and prove this is the right path to take for aging healthy, therefore making for a stronger country if the next generation reaches their 60s in better condition that the Baby Boomers who are generally fat, sick, and unhappy, which is sad given Americans have more opportunity to stay healthy and wealthy than any other nations on Earth.

What are you doing to show the rest of your family and friends what is possible in healthy, vibrant living and thriving well into your 80s? I chose this path rather than dying young and sickly and learning it was all preventable: the pain, cancer, and a sad ending to a life that could have been extended so easily. Are you one of those who will make excuses and never alter your behavior, just your wish list of miracles to happen to you, instant slimness with a pill, shot, or other big PHARMA solution that will keep you addicted, may even kill you and thus drop your weight dramatically and solve all your problems in one fell swoop? What will it take for the average person to break the many habits that result from eating foods with known addictive ingredients allowed to be put in most packaged foods produced in America but not in Europe, Africa, and Japan? It must be clear to you if you look at the difference in the ingredients and how many are used in America that are banned in Canada, Mexico, Europe, and many other countries that global corporations like America do not run. Study and learn from other societies where the public is protected from the criminality of corporations seeking profit at any cost, including the death of their customers.

If you are aging poorly and only in your 30s, overweight, not muscular, low on energy, or having mood swings, depression, or worse, physical symptoms like narcolepsy, just falling to sleep without notice, sometimes like me, while flying solo in an airplane and nearly hitting the ground as I nosedived the plane when I passed out into sleep and leaned forward on the steering column causing my race to the Earth before waking at 800 ft from crashing, 5 times in an hour-long solo, my last time in a plane alone. I nearly died several times that day before landing without having balanced fuel tanks in the wings because I was too sleepy to think straight. I was lucky I was taught how to land sideways, crabbing my way to the ground without flipping the plane when I landed. I never flew alone again. Have you had that problem? I had the issue driving, too. You?

Believe it or not, the diet changed everything, and I regained my mind and body. I genuinely believe there are many ways to stay healthy without going to the Rockefeller-created American Medical Association to combat natural remedies that have worked for centuries. There was an apparent conspiracy to wipe out naturopathic cures and to replace them with dangerous and addictive drugs that would trap people into a sickness instead of eliminate it and thus create lifelong customers, the primary goal of many doctors that goes unspoken. They do not make money if you do not go into their office sick and need checkups, prescription renewals, and other devices many use to keep you as a paying customer for life. They get bonuses for giving you a vax of every sort possible that amounts to tens of thousands of dollars a year in extra income. Few of their clients understand what motivates the drive to vax everyone. Profits without disclosure are biasing the doctors and their pathology of ignoring the labels, addicting people to drugs they should not need, and worse, becoming a common complaint by those who suffered from that tactic thousands of American Medical Association Cult members.

Please become educated and autodidactic, teaching yourself new information and facts about how to stay healthy and happy into your 90s without having to take statins, high blood pressure medicines, and testosterone supplements to get by. Please take an hour a day to study new information about healthy living and grow your mind’s understanding rather than losing it. Muscle and mind decline with a lack of exercise, so do not neglect either. Better you should miss your TV programs for an hour in the gym, riding a bike, walking a few miles, and other physical things that will extend the healthy portion of your life by decades instead of just supporting doctors and hospitals with your insurance funds, if you have enough. Some cannot afford good doctors, and they will likely suffer the most if they do not change their eating, exercise, and thinking patterns. This is the only way to stay away from the medical industry when you age into an old folks home where the occupants generally long lose diet, exercise, and mental clarity, and there is no chance they will leave to live independently again.

Join me in proving what older people are capable of both in business, writing, and building the solutions the next generation will need to overcome the challenges that modern societies have caused in their rush to grow, profit, and ignore the warning lights going off indicating that you and others are on a dead end path running full speed but you do not have brakes. Be prepared to hit the wall when the loss of China imports the many prescription drugs that many Americans are addicted to. China just banned shipping them to us in a counter-strike to the new tariff plan on their imports. The cost to stay on medicine will get higher, as will all things once imported that will need to be made in the USA now with much more expensive labor, and land, buildings, and insurance that will make cheap products a thing of the past.

Get ready, kids. The societies in America, Europe, and other places where the wars are growing are about to go through massive changes, and being healthy will make the next few years easier. Please consider changing and helping those you love to prepare their bodies, minds, and spirit for challenging years ahead. Housing will be vital, and I hope the examples of what can be done by salvaging the best of our past will make the next few years much better for many who realize they must change to thrive in the coming years. Blessings to your dayz kids.

HOW TO BECOME A SALVAGE BUILDER, MINER, OR HUNTER.

How much will you pay for shitrock on the walls, materials that outgas dangerous chemicals that you will inhale and make part of your body just by living in a new house, tiny or large? If you do not know, this happens when you move into a new home, especially a tiny house with a limited air supply. How do you limit the chemicals and toxins in the new houses? Wait for 3-5 years for the outgassing to complete itself before living in them, which, given they are only built to last for ten to twelve years, the plastic seals on the exterior and roof will leak by then if not kept out of the weather and sun. It is sad when the industry refuses to recognize the short life of the materials they use to create cheap tiny houses and mobile homes.

Worse for anyone who lives in one full time is the health issues that result from toxins in the houses that could be prevented, and the lack of fresh air due to few adding the necessary but costly air exchangers that preserve the heat and cold in the house while flushing out the stale air to get fresh oxygen in the house. If not, there is a serious issue with hypoxia in tiny houses and RVs that contributes to mental decline and physical ailments. Since you will not sleep well when you lack fresh air, your days for the kids and adults will be less energetic, and you will be more prone to being tired and sick due to not having a healthy environment to live in.

In a world quickly filling up with tinier homes, and most are not reviewing the reports and not listening to the growing calls for concern over the resulting health issues, few connect the dots to find the solutions until the damage is severe. Respiratory problems, mental clarity, hormones being messed up due to the endocrine disruption caused by the outgassing yet, because it is invisible, the lack of oxygen undetected, and the resulting loss of energy and health subtle as it disappears gradually, most know nothing of the cause of their health issues after the first year in a new tiny RV or Home, mobile home, or the ever-growing modular homes that are just big versions of toxicity living.

It is possible for those who care and want a healthy tiny house to get one built, but you will need to be sure these issues do not arise for you. You must adhere to using materials inside the house that will not outgas the plasticizers, vinyl chemicals, paint chemicals, and polyurethane finishes that cure. At the same time, you live there, which means outgassing the remaining chemicals in the fibers of the wood or even carpet. Why is this not reported on more? Why are these issues not discussed on panels at the national tiny home manufacturers? Why is this the subject to stay silent on if you build the trailers, RVs, and tiny houses on wheels that are virtually just tiny mobile homes that will lose value faster than the health of the people living in them who bought them off the lot new, fresh, and full of invisible chemicals to inhale and absorb, sadly most being carcinogenic and even deadly in the long run. Cancer can be overcome by the victims of this abuse and failure to inform, but why should they have to experience the possible death cancer causes over being stupid?

Since I no longer build tiny houses for anyone, I can speak freely and not be accused of false prejudice as if I am exposing these issues soley to promote my brand of dwellings. I created Tiny Texas Houses to be the antithesis of “Tumbledweed Houses.” That was my name for the first of the fad tiny house makers that were truly examples of how to rip off people pretending to teach them how to build tiny houses on wheels. That failed due to the many misleading aspects of their presentation and the owners misrepresenting things early on, which cost them their reputation and, sadly, cost many who followed him. But it was their life savings and health that suffered. Many other Toxic-House-box on Wheels have done worse, creating more chemicals while the fad was hot. Even a Dr. Vinyl that made the entire house out of vinyl’s toxicity would definitely put most people into a complex nose dive with their hormones and health in a matter of months. I never heard if anyone was stupid enough to buy and live in one, but I would love to hear from those who did. It would be a sad story, for sure.

I have published many articles on living in tiny healthy houses and what to watch for, but the industry is in denial and refusing to address these issues. Most manufacturers will just shut down and go out of business, having taken their profits and moving on once the public figured out, somebody screwed them over for profits. If you have health issues in the respiratory tract, hormones, and cancer but have not investigated the cause and have lived in tiny houses, or new mobile homes for that matter, you should look into this as the cause and warn others before they too suffer. I know of a mother and daughter who got matching tiny mobile homes, and both got cancer, one of the breast, the other lymphoma. This is serious, and it only took three years of living in them to trigger the cancer. Stop the madness now. Cheap housing is not worth your health later in life.

For those who want to downsize into a healthy lifestyle, please consider using as many healthy materials as aged lumber, not plywood, particle board, and composites full of chemicals. Do not add the paints and chemical-laden products that will outgas over the first three years after they are made, leaving the plastics brittle once the chemicals that make them flex leach out into the air, your lungs, your body, and your brain. Tell others who have made the mistake, are sick, and do not understand why, yet they live in these homes.

Now, you are the one who now knows what many do not. Please share if you care about those you love and friends who may be sucked into the downsizing without understanding the potential downfalls of that lifestyle in a toxic box rather than a healthy tiny house.
