Hello beautiful people!

Welcome to another TribeSteemUp Curation, where I (@trucklife-family) get to showcase some of the great Articles that the tribe members created and that really embody what the Tribe stands for.

The TribeSteemUp community was created by @kennyskitchen. It is a *Community Abundance Generator,* which supports authors who write articles that look at ways in which we can become more empowered and create a more peaceful and free world.

The authors who have been chosen to become part of the TribeSteemUp community are all writing content of high quality, and they all focus on topics related to the bettering of life, such as:

| Anarchy | Non-Violence | Philosophy | Veganism | Mindfulness | | Community Empowerment | Love | Original Music | Esotericism | | Healthy Recipes | Psychedelics | Truth | Permaculture | The TribeSteemUp community also has 8 Pillars/Principles that each member has agreed to adhere by and you can find The 8 Pillars of TribeSteemUp at the end of this post https://youtu.be/KPD66jChgK0

>After recently pruning back our Apricot trees, I decided to attempt to graft some scions onto one of our wild plum trees. I used a process that had worked for me before, and it's a great way to make things better and more productive on our homestead!

Chis Fremin, better known as C-Free, hosts an excellent podcast called This Esoteric Life. As an expert in Qi Gong, a movement based energy practice, C-Free has lots to share about building and maintaining one's vital energy, or life-force. We discuss many potentials for self-exploration that a Qi Gong practitioner might experience, along with reasons why breath-consciousness is a must, and thoughts on the skill of letting go (of the mental and physical variety). We also surf on an idea-wave about what it means to become a spiritual scientist.

>How are you feeling? Are you freaking out? Are you trying to stay cool under the circumstances? How are you handling life these days? How is the outside world influencing your mood and overall health? Where are your thoughts? Are they worrying about the Future? If so, is this helping you at all? Probably not. So why don''t you, instead, try to: BE HERE NOW It's not that hard, just take a deep breath in and then breath out slowly or let out a sigh if you feel like it, if it makes you feel better.

I recently developed a full spectrum spirit reading formula combing 3-4 decks - 2 oracle and up to 2 tarot. This combines an Animal Spirit Oracle deck called Messages from your Animal Spirit Guides, a Plant spirit Oracle called The Illustrated Herbiary, and a Gaia Spirit Tarot called Dreams of Gaia. The Gaia deck uses the 4 elemental forces of nature (fire, air, water, earth) in place of the traditional minor arcana, and each element (suite) is headed by one of four elemental dragons. If one of these four dragons are drawn in any reading, I also pull a card out of a fourth deck known as the Dragon Tarot.

How strange it is to be halfway between two homes. Down under, my son and his girl are out of work - it is a bad time to be in the hospitality industry. Cafes are shutting, bars are closed, and concerts cancelled. In Tasmania, my best friend has just done a bit of what we dubbed toilet paper tourism, just to see if it was true that the shelves were clear. My sister jokes she has started a spreadsheet of rations. But everyone is okay and joking about. They have each other. I don't feel worried. I am more worried about my mother in law who only recently was widowed. She is anxious and on her own. We have to leave this stunning, warm, colourful and extraordinary country before more borders are shut, and have fingers and toes crossed that we can get on the Air India flight that leaves Tuesday.

Let's Calm Some of This Corona Fear-Mongering.

>As you may have noticed, I've been taking some time away from Steem after spending far too many hours researching, discussing, and writing about the hostile take-over, and ongoing occupation, of our blockchain by @JustinSunSteemit. At first I was pretty sure we were just going to fork away, and felt great about that. At this point, it's feeling less and less likely we will actually have a resolution to this, and I'm moving all my best content over to my new site, so I am no longer dependant on this platform.

>In the midst of a global pandemic shutdown, a group of committed community members continue to fight for their home on the blockchain. They continue to fight for Steem and not just Steem, but for what Steem represents within their communities, their apps, their content, and their tokens. These things were threatened by Justin Sun, possibly without him even realizing it. As he's said, he's just a businessman, doesn't want to deal with politics, and just wants to make money.

wOw! It sure is intense dealing with the combined issues of travelling, looking for land, handling corona fears, and watching Steem AND bitcoin tear itself apart. It really feels like everywhere I look things are pretty crazy right now! .. That is except this rural part of Portugal. Things run at a much similar pace as they do in rural India. The town of Penamacor is incredibly quiet, with most streets almost devoid of cars and hustle and bustle. Most of the younger population left many years ago, and it really looks like what is left are old people who sit peacefully on benches, and beautiful fertile land just beckoning others to come and live with her.
