The color stumped me as I bought this pattern from three different flea market vendors over a years time. They were not from the same house or state… but all the same color.
Eventually, I came across another old-timer who knew more about the trim of the past than I did. It turns out that the catalog images were in color by the 1930s, and pastels, as well as other new color schemes, were being marketed. In this case, the trim came in the color of the paint pictured in the catalog. What a great novelty to sell with in a day when catalog sales were King. Sears, Montgomery Ward, JCPenney, and many other retail catalogs were touting items to ship by train to your local town. Here are some of the things you would see on a train from the catalog stores in the old days.
Windows and doors with their trim, jambs, and even entire houses could be ordered by catalog and dropped off at the local train station where armies of carpenters would be available to put the packages together in areas that were developing, particularly along railroad lines as these packages came before the time of the cross country trucking industry that could reach small towns. Rails were the path to riches out west and enabled the shipment of all products milled in Galveston, Houston, and other coastal towns, utilizing shipping and ports to increase commerce in and out of Texas in the 1800s.
You can see one of the doors, some trim, beaded wood, and windows of several eras assembled for this project. This house project began seven years ago, before my sabbatical from business. It was created as a teaching tool and a seminar-training house, and as a consequence, it has a few remnants of historical inaccuracy. I am hiding mistakes fairly well, enough for perfunctionism to apply. This has many things that even a young teenage girl can help install. I created a design using the organic selection from the massive inventory when students were putting things together in a hurry. Not a worry, but it shows when you get to the trim. OMG funny.
So the parts and pieces, 95% Pure Salvaged Materials, brought back to life, have saved a tree and many calories of heat required to make the glass. The labor for making the windows and doors was also saved, a significant amount at today’s labor costs for unskilled help. The trim will need repainting, but the ease with which it went on made up for that. I trimmed out the front in about two hours, maybe three, counting the time spent sorting through the trim to find where the stack would fit. By the general organic building miracle of synchronicity, the parts were just enough: four inches long on the corners. Between all the broken pieces, I have enough to build one tiny house in a very unusual style. I have enough of this Bear Claw Trim to do another house, but I doubt you or I will see it again.
One of my preferred options is to see this sell to someone who will play a part in helping set up the trust with land and materials to build out another 40 houses to stay on the ten acres, and spaces to teach others how to launch their Outposts as local Co-ops to fuel the growth of this industry. I hope you will like the progress and share it so others can see what is possible. If they come to get the materials packages for a few thousand each, they could build houses like this at your location, creating the most amazing lifelong treasures you can live in and call art. Master suites are where Wii sleep at night, not do everything at all times. Offices and kitchens, laundry spaces are just fine, but not in my master bedroom, where my rest and recuperation is my focus when I proceed the half mile walking grounded (leather on the Earth for a half mile before I sleep and after I awaken is amazingly energizing and calming as I go to my house each night. I’m free.
I have a space to sit and chat or delve into discussions, where no one bothers us when someone else is present. I love spending intimate time with the one I love, but I’m not fond of the public visiting to see what’s going on. My private space is my tiny house, and Trinity has hers, so that Wii get to sleep each night and rise without a care. Dream great dreams and heal each day to become the best in every way. This is where I go to sleep, a special time for meditation and breathing.
The time I seek when I’m there is one without a care for the world that I will leave behind when my pillow meets my head. Savor and give gratitude when you have a dream space that you can hold in your heart. Home is where the heart is, but some of us get confused into thinking a big box of Sheetrock is a home with a heart that effortlessly exudes the quality of love and life that a wooden house can do. They are not the same, and science now proves that the grain you see in the wood on the walls will bring your mind to ease. Like a fireplace that helps calm the mind that races, the soothing textures and colors naturally draw your eyes and brain in. So much to see and savor, like candy for the brain, and it helps to calm, ease the mind, and let you sleep each day without the stress of city lights, traffic, or EMF. A house that does not have them but is nestled in the trees.
Trinity has a house bigger than Mii, but well deserved indeed. It has the upgrades and the size to make this a delight to see. See the posts on her progress as she will soon be ready to pass the test of passage… to the resting space for this Tiny Texas Classic Gypsy Wagon Two.
This is not one of the sweetest houses, nor the biggest I have done, but the idea was to create many, so there would be lots to choose from, not just one, and inspire others to keep building and having so much fun creating artful houses that will suit nearly anyone. Want some Bear Claw trim to dress up the front of your home? I do have a little bit left, so please hurry and send an email if you’re interested in investing in a Tiny Texas House in Salvage, Texas, or if you’d like the trim for a tiny house on your land.

Are you ready for a side-gig that makes you money for sharing, talking, & selling things you don’t have to buy?
No-risk opportunities are hard to find, especially if you do not have to invest your money to make a hundred grand in a year. Salesmen make more money than any other occupation.
As a Texan and American, I stand with pride for what I believe is a path to freedom that can be preserved by standing up for all that’s good.Join together to rebuild our pride in craftsmanship and quality and prove once more that ingenuity and imagination are the keys to our success.
The best salespeople work only on commission to get the most for their work. Suppose they get a stipend or a salary. In that case, they get less per sale and trade off income security for lower income until they can afford to leave the salaried position to go for only commissions, often finding more compatible products and handling a wider line of sellables to get paid for too. Would you believe there is a way to get into sales without risking your financial life by going out on a limb?
For most people after 70, a tiny house is all Wii need if Wii can go out and play. Why on Earth would you stay on a couch? Get a small space to rest, and then get out and live your best through a second childhood that lets you play like a youthful person every day. #Youthing is the way to having fun when you grow up, to stay away from those who think you are too old.
You could be brokering some salvaged materials for projects around you, or for building tiny houses that will make all those you help to form tiny houses and communities using the best of the materials from the past instead of imports, toxic new products, and wasting money to support big box stores that sell imports as their primary product lines. We can do better, and best of all, you can make a significant income by helping convince others that American-made and built is the best way to help rebuild America, not by buying imports that take our careers to other countries and leave ours without a manufacturing base. Help stop the import problem by selling American parts for houses and projects.
Why not stay fit and keep your balance and muscle tone? Why give in to thinking “Oldster” and thus destroying everything you can do if you believe everything I do? Placebo Power and through #Youthing, you can keep on going strong.
Why don’t more people get into sales? In part because there is no more difficult job than getting paid for your work. In other words, if you do not succeed at selling, you don’t make any significant money, and will soon not have a salary if you don’t produce sales. It is a hard life for many who pick such fields as insurance, for they have the highest job mortality rate of any out there, meaning that very few who go into the business make a successful career out of it.
When I was 63 years old, I had a vision that unfolded to form a reality I saw when I went on a vision quest to find my identity. This is what I dug up to realize the truth, that there is a greater power than I believed in through my youth. It led to the creation of this pond in three months’ time. Solo. It was a miracle by every measure I would ever do.
Real estate brokering is the same con on the workers who go into it thinking they will make millions but instead are used by brokers as tools to get listings from the friends and family, then have the new agents drop out for lack of commissions coming through for the first 3-6 months of being in the business. There is never a salary or draw against commissions in the real estate business unless your relative owns the brokerage firm and wants to treat you special. It is a cutthroat business, and no one who gets into it makes big bucks without lots of time and work to make it happen, and liability if something goes wrong and you get sued for what you should have known or done. Once you believe in what you can achieve, the trick is to put in the time that few see will be required to reach the towers that few will ever climb, where success and wonder fill the days before you finally tire. Will you ever be inspired to retire if you do the things for which you have great passions, so that you can fulfill your dreams?
So what could you do that interests you and would be easy to sell a few? How about salvaged materials that form houses you could sell and make a living better than the wage-hour jobs most use to build a life and raise a family? This can be done if you know the right people, for it is not what you know but who you know in life that makes for success. If you are an honest and caring human who wants to help others and can do it in ways that people will benefit from your help, why not take advantage of the times and start a new career that involves talking to make money? That is all that sales is, the one person advises another on the best product or route for their goals or needs, and the buyer selects it rather than another product.
What could you help build or design to put such things to use, as you will always find if you search the salvage in the giant warehouses you will find in June and July sales? If you could sell it and make a buck, that would make you a salesperson. Are you ready to make money, or do you need the parts in return for selling and designing what to build?
A great salesman gets a person what they need for a fair price. At the same time, the con man uses the same methods and tactics but steals value from the buyers by selling them inferior products that will not last or are even defective from their creation, intended to break fast and force you to return to buy more. There is a proverbial question that few realize is quite true: “What is the difference between a con man and a great salesman?” The crazy part is the truth of it, the con man ends up in jail, but both use identical techniques, methods that are nearly scientific in their function, and responses they will get when used. The methods of “closing a sale” are many, and trainers like Tom Hopkins can teach people how to use the questions and lead people to answers they want them to feel are their own, so they will say yes and buy your products.
The techniques work, even if you realize someone in your decision-making process is applying them. It is hard to resist giving in and buying what you may not need or want later due to the methods of questions and answers designed to get you to say yes and sign the signature line to buy, be in debt, and sell your future for the benefits you will get today. Rather than sell bad products or services, a great salesman finds the best products and represents the makers, sellers, or builders creating the market. The buyers want help to decide, and your expertise and help to design their dream home, community, or homestead could lead to an excellent living for honest, good people. It is a career path where selling the products people need to do it right at prices they can afford to create incredible homes is a good one you can be proud of, but how do you get into such a business?
Suppose you have the design talent, especially if you can build creatively instead of with toxicity for profit in mind. Most builders forego due diligence to see what their houses do to the buyers after purchase. The builders are making a profit at all costs, including quality, and shorting people on the long-term quality by giving them what looks good but won’t last for insanely high profits. It should be criminal, but it is instead a court battle that few can afford once in debt for bad RVs called tiny houses, and their health is shot. Stop the madness if Wii can, those who see and try to send the message that their health is the most valuable thing you have, and selling out for cheap housing is a fast way to your death. Stop the madness of thinking that mold, the lack of fresh air, and what you eat are not determining your health every morning. Share the ways to be healthy and sell others’ ideas worth paying attention to. Why not learn how to build houses that keep you healthy and in a community where you have and can give support to others?
If so, all will live better by sharing and caring instead of isolating in subdivisions full of houses where no one knows their neighbors. Get a local Outpost growing in a building or a barn so that others will begin to buy all the things they need to help create the local housing that will turn out good for the elders in the community and the kids that build them.
If you have some acreage and want to share, get help, and create a community, I want to help and have the means, materials, and books on how to do this. Are you ready to bring your clans together and create the solutions all need by inspiring them to take a course in life on self-sufficiency, healthy living, organic gardens, and a more straightforward, stress-free path to aging Youthfully, not disgustingly? There is a way, and I am here to help others find it, but I need help to sell it to the ones that need to hear, be inspired, and then help do the work that will benefit society long after this generation I am part of is long gone. Are you ready to become a salesperson for the best things in life, that Wii, those old enough and healthy enough to see, and then show so that the next generations can benefit from what Wii have learned.
When I was young, society treated anyone over 60 like an aged invalid needing to go into a home and be cared for the rest of their lives. Sadly, many in my Baby Boomer generation bought into that story and my contemporaries look like crap on a platter ready to be flushed out of existence. What happened to #Youthing our way into our best years, 66-78, and after that, can be the greatest years of our lives if Wii stay fit in body and mind. It is worth the effort, kids, you under-50-year-olds who think you are getting old already. STOP believing such garbage and get fit to stay fit well into your nineties. The proof is out there that life can be great even after a hundred, though wrinkles are assured, you need not become a weak and helpless lump of flesh until you die.
Join me if you wish on a trip into the future where you can make a living doing what you are meant to do, helping others, and be a part of growing dreams in the form of created houses from salvaging a past few know existed. The best materials to build sustainably, healthy homes that last for lifetimes will continue to be the stuff Wii can salvage for at least another decade, but start now, before more is wasted in landfills and used for fire practice for the fire departments. Save Our Salvage in America, for it is a great future career and produces houses for millions if Wii do this together. Become a salvage miner, builder, or hunter and help get the best out of under the invisibility cloak that keeps millions from making millions out of the salvage industry.
Get a paid subscription if you want to be a salesperson and get an income or the parts in return for sharing all you know that others don’t. Tell them of the parts and pieces. Show them how to build a house. Sell them all the needed parts, and then you get the start. Build a business by selling to the friends you know who are in need and show them how to get the pieces so they can build their home and dreams. Share the stories, help start local Pure Salvage Co-ops, and see the wealth it brings to town besides the jobs that are created when there are such parts around. Once you have the doors, windows, trim, and other parts, you can build the tiny houses that the locals want to start. Be the one who brings the power to the people with the parts to make miracles happen just because you have the heart to help.
Tiny Texas Houses on Youtube too. See the videos on what you can do, Salvage, Texas, and the many examples of what is possible when building out of 95% Pure salvaged materials. It will amaze you, I assure you.
This was a seminar house from before Wii mothballed things and let that Covid wave go thru. Now that it is over, are you ready to succeed? Why not build a business to make healthy houses seen?
Are you planning to live in a giant house until you die? If so, you must be rich to prepare for all the taxes as you try to stretch the savings that you did not anticipate the fall of the dollar’s value after all. Some will work until they die to have the space, but wonder why the cost goes up so fast indeed; they seldom keep them past their needs as they age out. I find that space can be a gift but also a curse, with the cost of holding on to all, the collections, and the things Wii like to call our own.
Welcome to the sales that start and allow you to create your Art Houses. A package complete with windows and doors, as well as trim and the wood for floors. No need for shitrock if you build it right, so the toxins from the modern houses do not make you sick. Plan to build a home for wealth by keeping it tiny and creating it for good health. You may be happier without the debt if you get a smaller house instead. Most do not need big, and builders don’t make small. What is right for you may not be on the market at all. Dream of your version of a home that you might have for a lifetime in a woodsy place with gardens and the time to find your peace and solitude to enjoy your time.
What is your dream for a house imagined as just right for the life you love? Imagine you could pick some floors, walls of wood, and ceilings for the beaded wood you have in store. Create an Art House full of wood and windows that were once made good, Glass hand-blown, and ways to put it together. Why not have a house built for a place to get away or more, to call your master suite, apart from the home or the city, as a brand new start? Salvage your old body or life to make it great, and do it with the pieces that will last and keep you safe. No toxins in the house to make you sick when you get old, and the money you will save will let you chase your passions on a life that is free from the pitfalls that cause most to stall.
Grow your dreams as best you can, and if Wii can help you before your dream ends, please call. Please schedule an appointment for the sales times in June and July to get the parts and pieces you need to do it right. Want to come and do some work to organize and load for perks. Windows, doors, and all you need for payment if you choose indeed, to barter time for all you need to build. Let us know when you might come out in June or July for a chance to learn and earn the parts you need to build your dream space. Let us know if you’re ready to start. I can help you with the drawings once Wii get to pick your parts.
Say a little prayer or build a tiny chapel for Wii have the parts that will make it possible. Join us for the months of June and July to get the best of the deals that you’ll need to build the best Art House in the area, not a toxic box instead. Now is the time to decide and create with a sense of pride for something sustainable and beautiful, which is possible with salvage if you do it right. Don’t delay getting started, even if just picking out the parts you will need to build, and finally get to moving out and on. Free storage for the summer months while you get the help and plan for an adventure in the building once you have a decent plan, do don’t hesitate to make a date and come to see the things that you could use to build your house for prices few have seen as Wii empty out some spaces to help others fill their needs.
Are you ready to break free and find a place to put a house for thee? Let us know if you live nearby and want to help us sell and try to get more people to buy a home. How about you? Financing for all the parts that wii can supply with a down payment to start, and you could get to building before the summer’s out. What can you imagine being used to build your home that will last you for a lifetime so that you can afford to roam when you get old? Tinier living leaves more for the things you have the passion for and live to do one day, when you get a second childhood that often comes our way if Wii take care of our vessel, life stays great till our dying day.

Why not have less but get more with a home created just for you? If not ready, get a plan, and find some help to build your stand for life. Contact Darby@Puresalvageliving for more information on the sales for the months of June and July. Bartering and other ways than just money to get parts and make your dreams come true for you and those who own your heart.
Handmade glass blown from the lungs of men who sucked up air and blew it into a ball of molten glass to form the bubbles that became our window panes. Amazing what some can do with sand and fire.
Here is a new window for the Loopholer to share with the generations that will see what someone made with care. Long ago, they pulled the coal and melted sand to make this mold full of glass that few would know could last a century or more. Now, I use it for the sight that I suspect will delight those who see the many versions of one image as it’s converted into many identical parts, not pieces separated, but each complete, like us, inside.
Imagine picking out the minerals that would cool to make these colors in the molten glass cooking in an oven filled with coal pulled from mines by twelve-year-olds. There was a time when all worked to refine the metals and the ores that formed our great society before we lost it all. Something happened to wipe out the skills and memories of how we made such wonders, and with so few people on the Earth to do those things. From my point of view, the elders of long ago seem pretty bright compared to all the people I usually see now. What changed? Electricity, education, lack of work ethic, or training? What caused our society to forget how to be so creative and industrious as to create such things as there once were but can not be found today? How did such memory and skills fade away?
From handcrafted cabinetry with no veneer, just the Tiger Oak you see, and the natural colors, the great old grain, the things that make the old things seem so special and strange. This is what I want to save and know the kids will too, once they see that most of what was made has been wasted before it was due to be obsolete or worthless to the people who could see its value now. Quality is easy to see in the stuff that was made in the last century. Let’s preserve and reuse all that we can find and save to stall the loss of all the past we knew when the people had the skills and creativity, too. Nurture this by showing the kids now born that this is still a thing that we appreciate this way.
Please wait until it’s finished, I often have to say, because it can look pretty ugly while the design is still in play. Watch the pieces fall in place as if an organic space finds and fills the voids to be a piece of art for all to see. Perfection is so overrated and often leads to copies made to look as if they are so fine, but made by the dozen for the artistically blind. What are you seeking in a master suite or two? How fancy of a kitchen with a space to eat and do all the things that do not need your bedroom nearby to share, and savor your isolation as you sleep the night away.
There are so many choices in the path that we create on our journey through this life we live, and many celebrate. If you want a chapel, I may have a part or two that could make your special spaces seem more incredible than most do. Join me in the hunt for treasures pulled out of the past as we celebrate the decades of collecting all about, and now to share the best of what we found to grow the crowd of houses that find new life that we all can celebrate. Sustainable, incredible, beautiful, and strong, these houses will last a lifetime.
May your prayers and blessings bring you the chance to finally see a path to getting what you want. Hopefully, you’ll see that this great sale and timing—yes, it’s 2025, and Wii—the people of the world have much to do to thrive. Break free of those decisions to downsize and live some more with the freedom, then travel and “YOUTH” your way to more fun than you ever had when working like a drone.
Savoring the Dayz is something all should do by understanding they can change the world if they do the work it takes to celebrate #Youthing, then it can be true.
Become a great example once you are free from the stress, with time to do the work it takes to get back in shape, and have a great time like I do. Learn to get your balance back, your strength and speed, there is so much. Once you do the work, an hour a day, four days a week… and see the difference you can make in how you age to regain your strength. Why not open up your mind to what could be more well-defined? Aging need not be so bad as I was taught when I was a broken young lad. You need not pay the price and never get better as you age, but you would not dare believe it unless you see how well this stage can be. I hope to help exemplify it so that you can be freed to #Youth your way to loving the day you hit 70, as I soon hope to be.
How do you get the windows, doors, floors, and more to create a home with a plan for more? Barter instead of buying means trading time or goods, but it pays better than any wage.
Salvage Mining, building, and recycling industries create more millionaires than any, but few hear about them from the media or the news. This unique industry lets so many live for free, virtually, based on the human energy and imagination they invest. You need not lift a mountain or fly through the sky without wings, which is nothing so fantastic, to get into the benefits of salvage mining. Want to learn how? Here is a short, time-limited opportunity to come and see, be part of the sorting and selling of millions of items stored away to create 500 houses of all sizes one day. Never will a chance like this arise again, for no one can afford to assemble so many unique and valuable things from the last two centuries of Great Housing in America.
It’s time to build with imagination, free of imports, to prove our imagination will allow for ingenuity instead of mass conformity and thus create, invent, and more, helping us with the economic wars. Are you one of those who feel that Wii the People should have more skills and centers where Wii can all share in the local Co-ops, where the people care? Suppose you want the windows and doors, the roofing, siding, perhaps even more, and could come and work to get them, instead of working for a wage, pay the taxes, then for buying, being taxed even more. Instead, you help to price and load, to help check out, to handle the phones, or deliver… and instead of dollars, you get the things that would cost you thousands, for the value of your time. Just a bunch of salvaged things that have no value to the IRS or anyone who can not see the dreams you have for them to be. The value of salvage is in the eye of the beholder, but nothing of value unless money changes hands… the concept of barter still stands. Tiny Texas Houses has made many offers, but this will likely be the last. Will you be part of the final big barter sales of the century? Help make this event one to remember personally through selling for commissions, helping others build houses, and making a community thrive, building potential into dreams come true near you. Make it a family affair to create houses for those you care for too.
This is the last time I will be involved in the greatest Barterthon-driven sale to ever put the power and ability into the hands of so many so fast. Will it be the fuel to grow my dreams of Pure Salvage Outposts functioning as local Co-ops to create housing for people, pets, chickens, and more through imagination and the labor of people who enjoy what they are doing? Welcome back, America, to the skills it takes to homestead and survive locally instead of dependent on the cities.
I can do sketches and drawings to enable others to build for you. Once you see how it is done, it is better to build the houses locally than to pay for shipping, which costs more than the labor to build one. During the week, between the sales, some can learn how to build a couple of the houses on a scale that will let them leave and know they can build one nearly free. This is all about sharing the wealth and spreading the seeds, after making many videos to show people how to grow their businesses in building homes that many could have now. It all takes timing and the need to water, nurture, and develop the seeds. So now the needs and times are right for people to see what is clear and truly bright. Build your tiny houses as portable buildings that could go, though they never will, they can’t be taxed the same. The secret to a Loophole is how it lets you do the things that codes say you can not, but rarely is that true.
So, for those who have followed Willy Wonka on the trail to creating the solutions, you can now take away the things you need to make your great tale. Build your village, compound, or nest far from the city and the problems most will face every day. Homestead, if you like, and get the parts that you may need. If you are a person with the right heart, you may come and see. Please help us create the sales to clear out many things and turn them into dreams for you who have followed through the years. Join us as Wii separate the treasures that Wii find hidden in so many places, it will take some time.
Sinks and tubs, toilets, tanks, and plumbing stuff. Electric lighting parts from times when electricity was more uncommon than my rhymes. Who would like to help sort out the cast iron heater feet collections or the fireplace fronts from the selections of new old stock? 1878 was when so much of this was created, and the work it took compared to now… few can imagine kids did it, as standards go now. Our ancestors once sacrificed a life of work without days off to create things that are far older than one century, as you will see, feel, and hold.
Do you want to help and learn as Wii put these out for the profit they can earn to perpetuate the Outposts? This will launch and feed this way. Will you help find the place once you learn how to build and can ship this to your space? Do you have a family or a group to work with who will help to come and work to get the things you need to grow the dream of having several houses to share and then to grow the community you dream of in the places you live, not Texas now? Then come and help to sort and sell, buy some things, but barter your time and make some money selling stuff to those you know and transporting it to where you live, then get paid for selling more.
No big box stores are needed to build the smaller homes that are still required. The days of the 1940s, when houses were constructed well instead of with the toxic stuff that ruins many lives. Our homes should be safe and kept in communities that all agree on the healthy ways in which the land and critters are preserved, as well as water, which is richly deserved. Respect for nature and wildlife in a subdivision is a rare respite. I want to see us show that such a place could still exist, as expansion wipes out everything that gets destroyed for parking lots.
So, do you want to be a part of this exciting chance to start your adventure into salvaged things that let you salvage all your dreams of youth? Be a symbol as you age of doing the great things that allow you to engage in your passions and ambitions while you were young, instead of feeling too weak or dumb. Stop believing instead of achieving the goals you want to see, despite the things you hear each day that truly aren’t sincere. Believe in yourself and what you can do, and if you are sane, not a problem, and can do something that will benefit not just others, but also you, then get in touch with those who may help you or share your vision.
Contacts for more information on helping with the June/July Sales event can also go through Darby@PureSalvageLiving.com.
Questionnaires for sanity filtering will be sent out, and contact will be opened thereafter accordingly. Liars, cheats, practicing druggies, rapists, pedophiles, alcolholics, and a few other miscreant sorts will not be accepted.
There is a form to fill out and a call to ensure that you are sane before you are approved to come and help. Please inquire. Are you a people person who can talk and help friends who will show up to find the parts to build their homes again? Some have lost them to the storms, others to the economic harm done in the last ten years; the solution is in action, not in crying out more tears. Come and be a part of something that will help you find the people and community few see but want in kind. I believe this will serve to join so many that some will find the Tribes and Clans they need to thrive again. If you can help guide and perhaps start a co-op, consider being part of this incredible sale with a chance to break free.
Swimming, kayaking, and fun are free, but you must sign liability waivers to wander, work, or be in Salvage, Texas. You must be responsible for yourself. Wii can not do that.
This is a transformative time for me… the creation of Tiny Texas Houses comes to an end soon, and the beginning of a path that would eventually lead to creating Salvage, Texas, from the ethos based on the best of our past resources being saved and used once more to make the best housing in America.
Tiny was my best way to show, in the smallest package, the value of the Jewelry Box Home, which could be portable and habitable, taxable in an advantageous way that would allow you to hand it off like an heirloom to your children or grandchildren, much as many of the houses had gone through before we finally salvaged them after 150 years of life.
Homestead can become homesteads again for the masses who do not want a trailer to live in made of materials that doghouse should not be made out of, let alone human housing for sake of all the toxins in the materials used as well as the fact that they are new, adding to the trash, transport, and forced to use due to code written by the manufacturers and required by law. The process has made the builders and buyers of homes victims of a system intended to keep you buying materials for maintenance, replacement every 7-10 years, and other traps that modern housing has built into it. While the houses are going up in cost, the value is not as they are limited in life and disposable homes for the most part.
Sad to see the masses fall for the trailers on Wheels passed off as houses at high costs for trailers that will rot slower than the houses sitting on them, or the time it takes to pay off the loans. I wonder at the success of the marketing by TV and others that convince so many that they can live in toxic boxes without enough clean air being exchanged to stay healthy, yet no mention of that anywhere in the industry.
Still, the intention was to show that tiny organic toxin / import-free housing is possible with salvage, American labor, very little environmental damage, and energy cost to build. Paramount was to demonstrate that you can do it locally if you all get together and support Pure Salvage Outposts to teach, create, gather the materials donated by locals, and the wisdom of the craftsman who could teach the few kids who do want to know how to build. Please help where it is needed, locally.
More could be building these houses all over the USA; trust me, many want them now. I never understood when I started, and thought that many would copy. Why did no one make the effort to do it right? Copy my research and methods, please… they were meant to show everyone how to do it, not to do one for everyone who wanted one, cheaper than anyone who did not love doing it could build them for.
The profit-driven alternatives, faster, cheaper, toxins-be-damned attitude that took over the tiny housing industry is disgusting for its lack of attention to the financial and human health of the buyers over the decade after the purchase.
Can you see the changes in the look from one owner to another? It was in Bastrop on the Colorado River and then moved to West Point, Texas, on a 23-acre setting. That is the beauty of a portable house, not the ugly trailer and narrow size that is not good for decorating or feeling like this makes you feel.
Some things are tough to duplicate today… especially great stained glass.
So many traps and so few speaking out as the fan club for Tiny Houses on Wheels was touted by all the major networks and pushed into the realm of a monstrous following. Next in this cycle of sale to grave come the consequences, and they have been many but as yet, not getting a lot of attention: health, transport, parking, maintaining tires, etc, will all need to be factored into the big picture before this story can be fully told. Will anyone want to say to it? Not if they were part of making it all happen. They will be gone.
Some know and have paid the price of health and wealth, and they are frustrated by being unable to find a place to put the giant, expensive homes. Time will tell the story, but I always like to put the house on piers and use the trailers that cost megabucks to do other things until needed to move again. Oh well… one can show the path, offer it to all the sheep that pass as they are led to the cliffs by the shepherds who claim to be leading them, but only to their death.
Sheep do not ask where; they follow and savor being part of the crowd that shares all their ailments and pains in common. None will know there was a better path unless they get near the fringe of the flock and see the trees, forests, and waters beyond. Instead, they are too busy looking at the ground for the grass or the butt of another sheep to know where to go next. Pity.
Yes, we will be having some gigantic sales days and will need some help in trade for doors, windows, flooring, siding, roofing, and other materials for payment, thus tax-free income if you help.
Yes, this is an opportunity unlike any you have ever seen. Imagine getting to help people find their dream parts for houses and assisting in loading up trailers and trucks in return for the parts you may want for your tiny houses or bigger projects. This is a rare chance to be part of the end of a legacy; the Tiny Texas Houses story will be coming to its end as I dissolve the warehouse contents and send them on their way to become houses, barns, and buildings once more. Do you want to get the parts and pieces to build a tiny or bigger home? Here is a way to get them without having to take on an extra job, pay taxes on the income, pay sales tax on the purchase, or instead, volunteer for an hour stint and get the materials that would be worth hundreds of dollars for your time, each day. Yes, the return on materials for your work could be far greater in value than what you are being paid at work per hour, and not be taxed, as it will be a barter for your time.
For some who live within an hour’s driving distance, it may be as easy as coming in for a few days to get all the windows you may need for a greenhouse or two. It could net you the fancy door for a bedroom, wood for decorative walls, windows to paint on, flooring, siding, and much more to choose from to decorate your house and create new things like doghouses, chicken coops, playhouses, or a real house for you. What is it you want, and can we find it in exchange for your help selling off the massive inventory sitting on hand?
You can also make a commission, yes, get paid for bringing others to buy stuff and be paid in materials of great value, thus again, no taxes, no cost to you but to bring your friends who purchase and you get 25% of what they buy in credits for materials for you as a reward for your help. Yes, you can make materials to build a house by helping others find materials for their projects. You may even make some money building greenhouses from the thousands of windows I plan to sell over the next few months. If you have not heard, it is time for greenhouses in Texas as the weather is getting weird.
If you wish to get involved, we will need to do a quick background check to see if you are safe around the public, lol, but to be sure, no criminals, thieves, or evil people need to inquire. This is a chance for good people to help others as I unload more windows and doors than anyone has owned at one time before my endeavor into the Tiny Texas House realm, and having the largest Architectural Antiques store in the USA. After the divorce years ago and building many Tiny Texas Houses, I still have over 100,000 square feet of materials in the form of beams, doors, windows, and more than anyone can imagine, that you can earn enough to build your house from if you want to help that much. Bring me your friends, buyers of any sort that you can find, and earn a living too if they buy a big order, over $10,000, then you may also make a monetary referral fee that will light up your spouses’s eyes with surprise.
See the massive inventory. If you know a big player who buys a hundred grand of the very fine Cobalt Blue Japanese tile, you could also help palletize it and earn hundreds more as part of the sale. If you have the connections, you could get into the sales business by doing no more than coming with them and letting me know ahead of the visit that they are your client, your path to making materials or money for your dreams.
Imagine the windows, doors, floors, walls, trim, ceilings, and more you could have. I hope to see the masses who feel that health is wealth, and that you can create healthy houses for others. You might want a tiny house to get away to or to earn a living from building playhouses and greenhouses with the materials you get in exchange for helping, thus making big bucks and a business without any cash out of pocket to buy materials with, hence assuring you of profits for your labor. How good can it get? How much can you sell? I hope to see some people earn tens of thousands of dollars in materials and money for helping. You become a contract salesperson and make a fortune if you want to take the opportunity to make some bucks for the next two or three months. Will you try or say you would? Actions make the world a better place, but also a worse place. The action you take is what makes the difference. Positive or negatively directed, life energy gives you what you put out, honesty, hard work, and truth being the key components to success. Let me help those of you who deserve it.
See the materials and the size of the warehouses. If you can assist and earn a great return on your time, contact me at BWK@TinyTexasHouses.com. If you have an issue that will interfere, like active alcoholism, drugs, or mental instability, that are your best-known traits, do not bother to apply. This is intended for sane, honest, and reliable people who want to help others and receive a reward that fairly compensates them for their help.
We will need some information on you, including your ability to help, which means you can pick up stuff and load, or if you are more oriented to helping cash out customers, help with organizing the stuff to sell, and other ways that do not require great strength. There will be many roles that can be volunteered for, but the best is sales, getting others to come buy stuff so you get bonuses that will pay for your house to be built too. Interested? Get in touch soon, as this will happen in June and July when it is hotter than Hades in Texas. We have a place to cool off and swim, places to camp, or houses to stay in for weekend events, but minimal space, so check in to see if you want to be here for the Biggest Architectural antiques and materials sales ever liquidated.
Are you able? Do you know people building that could use some incredible parts they do not know are here, but now you do, and can help them find them and be compensated for your help? Referrals can pay well in parts and pieces, but if it is a big sale, like the Cobalt Blue Japanese tile, you could also make thousands in money commissions. Oh yeah. Does that pique your interest?
Please consider who you know, what you want in life, and whether we can work together to make that happen. Feel free to contact us about setting up a time for you and your possible buyers to see what can be found to make dreams come true for them and you.
Rising from a man-made ecosystem that nurtures beavers, otters, turtles, fish, birds, and more, Salvage, TX., is endangered by a potential development to be turned into a parking lot. Help is needed.
I realize this is a reality far from the daily lives of many who might read about this episode in the predatory lending tale that started nearly ten years ago. Now, due to my refusal to accept liars, thieves, and the works of those demons of the day that act like bankers and your friends until they see the weakness or the chance to take all that you own. That is indeed the case for Southstar Bank, once known as Lonestar Bank, also once known as Moulton State Bank, before they started playing chameleon as they ruined the reputation of each name. The battles are many, victories none, as the lawyers who want to charge the cost of a house to defend me are out of reach, so the battle was done solo, pro se, and lost miserably.
The next phase of this process will be to liquidate the massive inventory stored away with hopes of becoming houses for many one day, but now must be moved away. I am having a huge sale over the next few months that will dwarf anything in the USA for materials of vintage quality, and stashed away for the decades while new materials for houses deteriorated in quality and rose in cost to the point that I can now sell you quality stuff for the price of the garbage in the big box stores. Getting into your car or trailer will not be as easy as the lightweight imports of toxic gases from vinyl, plastics, and chemicals sprayed on things to keep them preserved until they can outgas in your home. Instead, you could do wood on the walls and ceilings rather than sheetrock for a couple of dollars a square foot, the price of putting up the unhealthy shitrock that most do not know is full of toxic waste. Why not build a unique, healthy house that will last instead of one made from plastic, vinyl, shitrock, and other low-quality parts? Why not have less square footage for a smaller home but higher quality, and one that will last for a lifetime instead of 15 years, as the new houses are intended to last for little more before needing new roof, AC, heating, windows that fogged up, and other materials that disolve over time, like plastics.
Suppose you are considering using quality older materials, such as wood flooring, beaded wood for walls or ceilings, or perhaps real wood trim around the doors and windows that looks good. In that case, everything will be on sale at prices comparable to the big box stores, except for much better-looking and one-of-a-kind stuff. There are doors by the thousand to pick from to use instead of a crappy hollow core masonite door that will come apart in ten years. There are many ways of looking at the home you will live in, but the most important one is how healthy you will be if you live there. Many of the newer homes, especially the modular and trailer houses are full of chemicals for the first three to five years after they are built as they leach out of the materials with the gases like formaldehyde that cause hormone issues, health issues for many that go undetected but the symptoms seem mysterious and are common, so many people put them off, not understanding the house is making them sicker by the day. Often, the cost of maintaining a home this big, taxes due each year, insurance that goes up yearly, and the cost of utilities… this size house will make you poor by the time you die, with few to share the space once the kids move away. These often became boarding houses once the economy collapses, as in the economic depression of the past or the present one facing many.
If you want to put vintage materials into your new construction, the builder must be on board with your plan, but if you get a good builder, that will be fun for them. They will produce something they can be proud of instead of a simple shitrock box that looks like everyone in the neighborhood. If you are of the school that you do not want to live in cookie-cutter houses repeating down the block in gated subdivisions, this may be a way for you to get all your parts and break free from convention to build a unique and sustainable healthy house to live in for life. While many will scoff at the notion, having your home be an asset to your health and longevity instead of the reason for your poor health and rapid aging is possible. Stress kills, and the costs of a house can eventually be the stressor when you age, which can lead to illness when you are least able to handle it. Downsizing to a quality, healthy house before that time is a smart way to extend the life of your savings accounts for retirement.
Until people realize that the place where they spend much of their time, the bedroom and home, makes many people sick, they will not find a cure. I have had women at my seminars tell me of their allergy to formaldehyde causing health issues due to something as simple as a bookcase that was made of particle board giving off chemicals so strong it caused blistering in her nose, ears, and throat after only two weeks of having it in her office after it came in the mail and was assembled. The doctor spotted the issue when she went in to be examined due to the discomfort it was causing, and luckily, she had a good doctor who realized external sources, not internal infections, were causing it. The new homes, cars, and buildings are full of chemicals in the air and when you breathe them in they become part of you, being absorbed into the blood, Cleaned out by the liver, if it is still healthy enough, and over time, the load on your system will cause chronic inflamation which leads to cancer. Turbo-cancer is on the rise, as well as juvenile cases that are on the increase in dramatic fashion since the V-factor for Cov was put into place. Now, the evidence is showing that the spikes increase the chance of cancer, so take precautions and minimize your exposure to the triggers by not having a house that makes you sick.
If you plan to build a home or a tiny getaway master suite or house, large or small, I want to help you create it in a healthy format. Please feel free to call with your plans and needs to see if we can supply you with what it will take to create a healthy house. I am going to be offering some packages of materials that will make it possible to build 700 sf houses with windows, doors, trim, wood for walls, floors, and ceilings, rather than shitrock, and for under $15,000 for a package that will be unmatchable anywhere in the USA. Anyone interested in what you can do if you have the parts to work with? We may even offer owner financing with a good chunk down and pay us over 5-10 years at incredibly low or no interest in certain situations.
If you are willing to build with old materials and supply healthy houses, we will fund your operations with materials on credit so that you can create and pay us when you are done. This allows more people to get into the healthy housing business. Will they? This is the chance to find out. Who do you know to tell me about this opportunity? Will you help start someone up in business, building sustainable houses locally, by starting with your own?
If you are at the time of your life when this article makes sense, please follow up with the call to see if you could create your final getaway master suite, too. I can design your home based on the parts you pick and even supervise your contractors from afar, thanks to modern phones that let us picture, video, and communicate from nearly anywhere without being there.
For more information, contact me at BWK@TinyTexasHouses.com or call us at 512-636-6756 to book a consultation, get assistance in planning your home, or help with constructing it where you need it. We do not build to ship anymore, nor will we ever again, so please take this opportunity to get your parts before I shut down the warehouses and move on down the road of life.
Few of the children born in the last two generations know what it means to have skills like carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical, along with cultural skills.
Why have modern societies lost the impetus to create genius children who will grow into genius adults, constantly creating solutions and helping lead the world to greater heights? Often, the consequences of great success and comfort are the downfall of the societies that find them. I think the evidence is now for high-tech education, and the tools that make life too easy are becoming the bane of the newest generations of children that society has created. Technology is making it easier for children not to use their brains to calculate math, write, or draw. Effectively, computers and cell phones, TVs, movies, and distractions have left children with little reason to develop incredible potential within their minds, rather than focus on distractions outside their bodies. The cost to humanity is greater than most have realized, but the price is becoming apparent and is being utilized by specific forces to control the population without their awareness.
Our American society had reached a peak of prosperity supposedly when most jobs were service industry oriented, such as big box stores, restaurants, hotels, banks, and associated services such as house cleaning, care, nannies, yardwork on nothing but grass, and few therefore have any usable survival skills. Now there is a shortage of work in the service industries as robotics and technology like checkout scanners take over the industries the masses once worked for. Retail turns to Amazon or mail order, as in the 1800s when Sears and Montgomery Ward, JCPenney, and other stores sold their wares through catalogs mailed out regularly to people who ordered things and waited for weeks to have them show up.
This included houses, babies, and anything you could imagine that was manufactured in the 1800s. Now we have the internet, global shipping, and suddenly tariffs that will pop that balloon and cause a new rash of ingenuity, manufacturing, and finding loopholes to profit from the public in all countries, so they can be taxed to fund governments. This self-perpetuating cycle goes on whenever you have governments, workers to pay for, and the cost of supporting a culture, a society of many cultures being the most difficult of all to make happy. America and other nations are facing extreme issues of conflict due to mixing significantly different societies through mass immigration without the education for integration rather than separation as they filter into towns and cities.
This created Chinatown, Polish, German, and other immigrant territories that led to the big battles of New York City, Chicago, Detroit, and the South. History erased many of the horrific massacres of black, Chinese, Native Americans, and others who did not fit into the democracy controlled by the majority in the area at that time. Sadly, few know of the many times that the few were erased from towns, whether the minority of race, religion, creed, or national origin; it does not matter when the ignorant masses take control and lynch or burn others at the stake.
Historically, these events fractured society through the cultural breakdown that made it strong. The English used this to break India centuries ago, breaking the education systems and the societal pride that kept them united. These methods of dividing and conquering through ignorance has become so strong that few seem to know the concept of becoming a Renaissance Man who has many skills, is autodidactic, thus never halting learning, improving, and growing up to mature at 66-78 and become a leader of society under incredible abilities to understand and operate in many disciplines.
This has been lost, as have icons of strong women figures who were educated and doing research in days past when they were not allowed to own homes, and were forced to be owned themselves by the males or their families if widowed with children in the pre-1960 era. Yes, times have changed, but people have gotten weaker and do not understand how long or healthy they are supposed to live. Is the trend in media and government going to be what we need to give children a higher expectation for their lives than the present generations are experiencing with technology?
Imagination let me create this canyon, solo, at 63 years old. I saw what it could be, water from below, a spring, and then did the work to make it Be. In two months alone, I carved an impression into the Earth that few could erase alone. Life is good, thanks to God.
Sweden is the first to stop the Technology based education and go back to teaching the kids to use their minds and memory foremost, then add technology later due to the crippling effects on the minds of children who have been trained with too much technology that leaves the brains undeveloped and unimaginative—the loss of abstract visualization and accurate recall due to poor short-term and long-term memory circuit development.
I advocate for learning from being born to at least 7 years old, due to my extensive experience studying and doing social experiments with people in real time. The development and dissemination of the internet, computer integration into our society, and the cost for my son and others since I created the Discovery Incubator in 1996 have given me a unique perspective. During that time I had visions, prophecy one might say, and saw the future of VR, computers, the internet,with the black hole it opened that would suck the lives and souls of many into the void, the mystical void much like the Ouija Board of my childhood.
Too many answers with AI that resemble what was found led to tragedy, yet through a simple-looking game, it becomes proof that there is an intelligence that is not physical and will mislead those willing to follow its suggestions or believe what it may say.
Wii, the humans that see this dilema and can say what needs to be said, offer solutions, and assist in the reorientation of our path as a society of free-thinking humans or under the threat of self-imposed stupidity due to the inability to use logic, mathematics, imagination, and the fantastic tools of the brain that require training and efficiency within the body, not dependent upon a smartphone, laptop computer, or the internet. People need to be taught to maximize their thinking and operating skills physically and mentally, then grow into society as a fully functional being that can contribute to creating a fantastic world. By teaching children how to use the amazing bodies God gives us a chance to occupy for an amazing lifetime, Wii can do incredible things as well as raise a generation of genius kids that have skills as well as the ability to use technology to do even greater things once they have the inner skills and health to full utilize them all. This takes time, not just 18 years but 50+, so don’t feel rushed, but blessed when you have the opportunity to learn more skills, be smarter, faster, healthier than the day before, every day of your life.
Who could imagine that it would take forty years to finish writing and move on to the next phase of marketing a series of books around the globe to fulfil my childhood dream?
I arrived in Austin in 1984 with $640 to my name, living in a school bus I built after working through college in 1981. I had left on an escapade in my bus, dreaming of writing the great American novel and publishing one day. Then I learned how the publishing industry was controlled and censored, and in my twenties, I decided to make a million dollars and self-publish my works, market them, and, naively, write literature one day. Now I near 70 and reach that point that my books are readied for print, the words written, and a great life lived fully to base a story on that can help others achieve the high plateaus of success that come from following their dreams, passions, and doing the work it takes to manifest your goals in life. Are you free to chase your passions? If not, focus, believe in yourself, and do the work it takes to make your dreams come true.
It is up to you, and you must believe in yourself to succeed. I never imagined this was possible as a crippled poor kid. Still, miracles happen daily, and you are one of them, just waiting to blossom into an amazing human being who can thrive and lead others to a healthy, happy life. Here is a primer on how to do that. Start by believing in your potential to do great things.
I had no friends, family, job lined up, or way to do it. Still, I had a dream, passion, and with a motorcycle in tow atop a Dodge pickup truck, I snuck into the state on July 4th, 1984, with expired tags by two years, no insurance, inspections, and one foot longer than was legal with my truck in tow. From there, many stories over the years, but I made my first million on paper by 35, only to learn it was nothing once cashed out, and by then, my son Adam Brad Kittel was 5 years old, and I was caught up in making more millions. My East Austin career revitalized the French Place area from its low point due to crime and boarded-up houses closing in. I was one of the homeowners who forced back the Bloods, Crypts, and other groups franchising from California to Texas.
For over a decade, I was a real estate broker under the moniker Discovery Investments Inner City Home Brokers. I made my first million buying and fixing up the worst houses in my area, the 78722 zip code. I bought the condemned, boarded-up, and dangerous properties that no one else would touch for as little as $5,000 and sold them for $47,000-$67,000 in the 1980s, which would now sell for $670,000 for the same house. I was accused of gentrifying the neighborhood because the prices went up as the crime went down, and the remodeled and updated houses on the street inspired other residents to fix up their homes, too. I called that the “Jones Effect” as it was basically keeping up with the Joneses syndrome.
I specialized in classic old houses, which I fixed up, rented, and resold once I figured out that was a way to make millions. I also created the Discovery Incubator, the largest cybercafe in the USA, in I996, which was too early in the technology game to be profitable or viable for a few months. Then the Dot Com Boom hit, and by then, I had moved to Gonzales, Texas, to create the largest Architectural Antiques business in the USA: Discovery Architectural Antiques, which was on This Old House and other TV shows during my reign there.
Much of the story included going on to create Tiny Texas Houses, which is known around the world for the 95% Pure Salvage Building ethos, which has proven to be more than an idea, but a concept that could solve many problems for housing the many who need and want tinier, affordable houses that last for a lifetime.
Salvage, Texas, is an intentional village model for nature and people built on an industrial waste dump. It is meant to be an example of that intentional community concept with organic living, grounding, home schooling, healthy living as a group that can support each other as Wii travel the world to share this incredible health at later ages is possible.
I prove by example now at 70 in October, that men reach their peak at 66-78 years old, something unimaginable at 30 for me. I am in far better physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual condition at this great age, and finally, I am ready to market the books I have written. I type at 150 wpm and hope to begin marketing and traveling around the world and use ten million dollars worth of salvage materials I collected for building 300 tiny houses as a means of paying for publishing and traveling by expensing off all travels and lectures to help others using the profits from salvaging hundreds of homes and buildings when I was in my fifties. This means it will enable millions of others to benefit from this ethos and the Pure Salvage Outposts I hope to help create in towns everywhere I can reach. Salvaged materials can create incredible future careers and homes for millions of people… my mission is still ahead in this short lifetime.
This is part of the books that I am working on while figuring out where the people will come from to carry on the functions of sorting and selling the millions of dollars in materials that are stored in warehouses ready to build without imports, toxins, plastics, and with the longevity of houses that are still standing a hundred years after being built in Austin, Texas where I learned to respect these parts.
More millionaires are made from salvaging and fixing old houses than any other business in America. I hope to share this with others so they can thrive in hard times. This is the path to success for those willing to work and use imagination and loopholes to master the matrix. If you are considering that path to riches, I suggest starting small and working your way up, as there can be many surprises when you are remodeling a home that some think should have been torn down.
The objective for my next decade will be to share the path and means for others to follow and create homes from the remnants of those that can not be saved and must be torn down. Salvaging the parts of the many houses that are no longer servicable will open the door for millions of people to build homes without buying anything from a big box store but the screws, nails, and other parts that can not be found through salvaging other structures. It is much easier than people seem to think and far more profitable than nearly any other business someone can get into for a small amount of upfront investment.
I have written articles on how to find houses, bid on salvage rights, and get the materials to build excellent tiny houses as alternatives to the big box houses that most are forced to buy because of a lack of other options. Tiny houses are a great path to financial freedom, rather than being indebted for life for a house with an enormous maintenance cost that worsens over the years due to the poor quality of construction. This path to self-destruction of our financial situation has been taught to people through the media, selling everyone on having a bigger house than their parents or their peers did. The illusion that materialism brings happiness has taken over most people, as if a big house or fancy car defines success. It does not work that way, but so many are trapped in the matrix of materialism that they can not break away or even imagine living a simpler life.
If you want to alter course and simplify your life, get healthier and more youthful as you shed the stress and burdens of servicing debts for things that do not make you stronger or better, and change your life. You can alter the course of your life by studying what you could do to downsize and eliminate the things that do not make your life better the next day. Stop the bad habits that destroy your healthy body or financial status. STOP the addictions to sugars, alcohol, or other things you put into your body that cause it to get fat, unhealthy, and age faster than you should. Become the example for children, demonstrating how incredible we can be as elders in a society that once considered us a burden on society instead of the leaders and assets that must be honored and cared for to keep a society intact.
If not, the family unity dies along with the unity in a community. Honoring and respecting our elders for their contribution to our world is essential, but so are the consequences of not contributing or caring for others in your community. Without a common bond, a unity that benefits all those in a society, people will suffer, be left out of the benefits that come from community, and rather than be an asset, they become a liability for the others who did their part, the work to make a community great.
Are you part of a community, or are you outside of society, mostly isolated in an apartment or home and using the TV for companionship? Many are caught up in the internet for their social network, not face-to-face relationships with people, causing our society to become detached from face-to-face interactions, which are essential for a balanced life. The need for this is growing as people suffer from the isolation that results from the detachment from living as opposed to vicariously experiencing life by watching others play sports, do the things that people want to do but get to lazy or lack the willpower to actually go out and do it instead of watch it be done. Sadly, many people sit on a couch or chair and get fat, unhealthy, and develop health issues due to a lack of physical activity and overeating foods full of sugars, toxins, and poisons that cause them to age faster and suffer sicknesses due to their diets.
Wake up if you are sleeping through a wonderful life and not experiencing the best part of it, being active and chasing the passions, the dreams you had as a child. Never stop being a youthful being growing stronger toward maturity at 66-78 instead of aging out early and dying in pain. Be strong with intention, eating well, getting your exercise, and living in a tiny house that lets you have the free time to live life instead of work and worry about servicing a debtload for crap you did not need to buy, eat, or wear on your body so you could think you are cool, part of the click you want to be accepted by. Be the example others will look at and want to emulate for all the benefits, and show the kids growing up that it is possible to be incredible instead of forgettable, and regretting your actions throughout your youth.
Savor the days of your life as treasure for your memories, your adulthood that will be incredible if you take care during your youth and honor your vessel, your body that Spirit occupies while on this planet. You are a miracle walking and can do miracles while alive, but you should know that your behavior determines your future health, wealth, and decisions. In contrast, youth will decide if you genuinely enjoy the latter half of your life, which I believe is far better than the beginning. The first fifty years are just the time it takes to grow into an adult, much to my dismay, for I thought I was an adult at thirty. Indeed, it is our nature to think we are mature early in life and know everything before we actually learn what we must to finally understand the meaning of our life, if we are lucky enough to learn it, and then follow it to a successful end.
