The Lone Wolf Lie: Why Your "Independence" Is Keeping You

  The Lone Wolf Lie: Why Your "Independence" Is Keeping You You are walking around drained, trying to play the solitary savior. Brother, you’ve been conditioned to believe that asking for backup is a sign of weakness. Sister, you’ve been wearing that "superwoman" cape so long it’s choking out your peace. We have been sold a toxic, exhausting western myth: the illusion of the solo survivor. We were told that power means carrying the weight of the entire world on your shoulders in complete, stoic silence. That isn't sovereignty. That’s a trap. When you isolate yourself under the banner of "I'll just do it myself," you aren't protecting yourself—you are keeping yourself fragmented, fatigued, and easily broken.

Gye-Nyame Steaming Journey

This a lunch I put together in my steamer. Actually it took me longer to post this, than it did to make the meal. It is simply some fresh eggplant,zuccini (which was given to me by a parent, grown in her garden) onion, garlic, radish, bell peper, and carrot.

I simply mixed some fresh green beans, some of my left over great northern beans, onion, garlic, and bell pepper . Steamed over a bed of salmon. I used some cinnamon, a little  turbinado sugar , salt, black pepper , and a little to much  cayenne pepper to season it. I also squeezed some fresh orange juice over it as well. After completing steaming. (30 minutes) I put it over a bed of rice (did not steam rice only have one steamer here), and now I am about to eat. So far the only effects have notice from the steam food is a slight itchy feeling in my skin, I will do some research but I figure this is my body adjusting to the food. I will keep you informed about any other changes that I experience from my new diet changes. Nuff said Peace & 1hunidyears l...
