I won't be investing in Geoship. I wish them the best of luck and do hope they are able to bring it to market as their building is healthier than most.

Great piece on a missing middle housing called Mews here in Phoenix. #passivehouse wasn't the goal it was a byproduct of focusing on healthy sustainable materials used properly.

It's hard for me to take a step back at times and see if I need to be an artist or a craftsman. Most of the time it seems like I need to be a craftsman.

Ok, I'm going for it. I'm already all in on meditation, but group meditations for peace feels...religious.
I don't classify myself as religious or spiritual. I am simply curious about these high wave lengths that we can tap into and how they create a love for life.
