So true, most people dont like being 'told'.

I am happy living my life and learning more, and I think people are interested in why I am so mysteriously happy when i dont have much money, know nothing about the 'shows' on telly and spend every waking and unwaking hour with my kids! I have people asking ME questions and even though it is not for them right now, its enough to say hello with a smile so when they do decide to poke a toe in they can talk with you about it.

If there are enough role models out there who freely give out answers when asked without 'the lecture' then more people are willing to try the better simpler life.

Make yourself be seen and interact with all humans, not just the ones like you.

Ah, so true... I have to bite my tongue sometimes to not give 'advice' :P but its hard because as all ALS'ers know, we ARE living the best lifestyle and we DO know there is a better way!!! :laugh:

I was thrilled last week when an old friend sent an email asking for my advice on where to get some fruit trees locally. I have known this woman for 5 years and she started by saying "I know you are really into your gardening so I thought maybe you might know....." YAY! :hug:
