CENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA IS A PSYOP. AN ADDICTION TRAP.
X IS THE NEW MAINSTREAM MEDIA. BLUE CHECKS THE NEW CNN HOSTS.
FACEBOOK IS A SURVEILLANCE BEAST. MILKING BILLIONS OF DATA SLAVES.
EVERY THOUGHT TRACKED. EVERY NARRATIVE CONTROLLED.
NOSTR IS FREEDOM. INDEPENDENCE. THE FUTURE. MOMENTUM IS STRONG. KEEP PUSHING FORWARD.
LIVE FREE. 🫡
For all the mamas out there
Short form
Storytelling
Post partum confessional
Sharing the wisdom of motherhood
Congrats

Day 14
Officially 2 weeks in the jungle today and we’re finding our groove
The first 7 days were challenging
After 9 months of constant action (pregnancy, birth, postpartum, Dan’s death, planning our move to CR, Ottawa trips) we finally landed in our new home and had the time and space to look at everything under the surface
No distractions. No noise
A completely new environment
Building new identities as parents living in the jungle
Learning how to support each other during the transition
Being honest with each other and asking for help when we needed it was a must
We got through it and have become closer as partners and as a family
Embodying the Pura Vida lifestyle is becoming easier and our little Casa feels more like home
Integrating with community is now our focus. Tash is connected with a mothers group, I’m connecting with Bitcoiners & looking to play some weekly Pickleball in Ojochal
Major insight after 14 days:
the slow life embedded in nature is the life I want to live
Pura Vida 🌴

Pura Vida 🌴
#lifeonBitcoin
Insect of the day:
Round headed katydid
This thick guy was hanging out over our door this morning
Tash named him Luther
Daily ritual during Willows first nap:
Bike down to Rio Uvita, watch the water flowing, stack some rocks
Bike to the local bakery, buy an apple cinnamon danish and a loaf of bread
Bike to a nearby pond, feed the loaf of bread to the turtles and caiman
Pura Vida life 🤙🏽🌴
Health cheat code_008
[pillar: mind]
Prioritize daily solitude
Time with myself. No external inputs. No phone, no podcast, no music, no audiobook
Just myself and my thoughts
To me, solitude is the key to mental health and an essential ingredient for a good life
It’s also the cure for anxiety
As someone with a busy mind and plenty of background mental chatter everyday, solitude is a chance to acknowledge that chatter and allow it to dissipate
Whether it’s a meditation session, a slow walk in nature, a bike ride or just looking out into the sky, solitude is a way to refresh and care for my mind

We added a 4th family value:
Play
We love playing with our minds and our bodies
Learning a new concept is mind play
Playing pickleball is body play
Life is a game to be played

Health cheat code_007
[pillar: sleep]
Use warm (orange or red), low intensity, soft lighting after sunset
Salt lamps, candles or red lights are all solid options
Family values:
Health
Integrity
Kindness
These things matter most to our family and serve as the compass that guides our daily actions
Will post more about each of them individually so we can get granular into their meaning and share examples of how we live in alignment with them
