<center><h2>Hello beautiful people</h2></center>
<h3>Last week was a big week for TribeSteemUp as we lost our delegation from @jamesc. We all understand that change needs to happen and at the end of the day it is his SP and it is up to him how he wishes to use it. We certainly are very grateful that he did support the tribe in such a huge way and I want to extend my thanks to him for believing in the Tribe and the content that we all were creating. But with change brings new opportunities and the Tribe is very committed towards moving forward. </h3>
>Those of us who have been very active within the tribe, are very committed to creating change and finding ways in which we can be of better service to the earth and the tribe as a whole. We see this an opportunity to pull together more and be more supportive of one another.
<h4>@kennyskitchen who created the Tribe and brought all of us together has decided to step down and hand over the reins of the tribe to some of members. It has been quiet an undertaking on his part, making sure all of the members were rewarded for their content, so he really deserves to have some time out. I think I speak, for all of us within the tribe, when I say that we are very very grateful to him, for bringing us all together and creating a community of conscious and inspiring authors. For things to change within the world we need to be thinking in terms of 'We', this is the time for us to unite and come together, to empower one another, to create the world we wish to live in.</h4>

>What does this world need for all of us to be looked after, happy, and safe? We know we cant rely on our governments ... and these days many of us can't even rely on our family! Things will always go wrong, and sometimes it seems that we are unable to fix a problem... More often than not that is because we are trying to succeed alone!
How many people are SO busy trying to make their lives work that they just donβt have time to look around and see who else needs some help?

<center></center>
<center><h1>@johnvibes</h1></center>
> Skeptics of cryptocurrencies often say that these digital assets have no real-life value because you can't hold them in your hand, and they are not "backed by" any material object either. Others who are more friendly with the technology suggest that these currencies derive their value from the energy and resources that miners spend on securing the networks.
However, both of these perspectives overlook the fact that assets don't actually need to be "backed by" anything, aside from the faith and participation of the people who trade them.

>"I want whatever supplements SHE'S on!"
I heard this from a client in my morning class the other day as she admired the ripped, muscular, shapely physique of another participant, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it...
This was one of the many phrases to come out of this particular client's mouth as she cruised her way through our workout, talking the entire time and barely breaking a sweat, while she watched her fellow bootcamp classmate sucking wind, absolutely drenched, working to the point of failure - and yet, she still believed her success was due to some magical supplement.

>Samhain marks the end of the Celtic Year, and the beginning. Everything in nature is withdrawing in to itself right now.The leaves have fallen from the trees, birds have migrated and some animals are now in hibernation. The energy within nature has been pulled back down into the earth, into the roots. It is the time of death and decay, but only so that everything can be reborn anew. Including ourselves.
Yes, it has got colder, there is now a definite bite in the air. But this is nature communicating with us, telling us, that now is the time for us to accept this end of the old year.

>When I learnt to surf as a teenager, we used to paddle out after school at Torquay Point and enjoy waves to ourselves. At most, there might be twenty of us out there, and that's talking an absolute crowd. Often times, we had it to ourselves, screaming songs into the sky and venting teen frustrations and craziness in salt water and huge skies. That was always the appeal to me - surfing was pure freeeeeedoooommmmmmmm, totally away from the pressures of the world.

>I have been semi-secretly coordinating a long tribal instrumental creation through a bad-ass producer out of Colorado know as Totem. I was originally attracted to his sounds through my study of @AlaisClay's new album Elevated Frequencies (a crucial, powerful album), and in particular the use of his native flutes in a song called We Will March, and also the unique sound frequencies he presented in Medicine Drum, both songs off that album.
I just received the final cut of Totem's manifestation of sound customized by my direction, and oooooohhhhhh man did he create quite the masterpiece.

>There seems to be a common thread that links the common understanding of the Illuminati and the fact that the original group was persecuted by the Catholic church. Many are fond to believe that the Illuminati are an all powerful group, lurking in the shadows, manipulating society through courses such as the banks and major corporations. However, in the research that I have done, this is exactly what the Illuminati fought against! Join me in today's episode as I discuss who the Illuminati were, and who they are now.

>A growing number of people today are reportedly looking to consume organic, ethically-sourced, and sustainable products. And a great deal of folks are willing to pay more for their items if they feel confident that they are purchasing something that's a superior product.
This has given rise to a myriad of growing trends over the last several years, including a surge in interest surrounding aquaponics, hydroponics, underground greenhouses, and more. People are interested in making the most that they can with their space and with hydroponic farming, that allows people to grow vertically instead of needing to have many acres of land to farm.

<center><h1>@krnel</h1></center>
>Politicians often try to make a case for something being "required" by trying claim they are "protecting" or "defending" the "American way of life". Is it really about defense? Or is that a newspeak term that means the opposite, whereby offensive actions need to be taken in order to preserve, protect and defend the status quo of what currently is?
The other phrase used, of "protecting US interests", is a little more obvious in what they are trying to do. Protecting interests means what? Well, the interests the U.S. in getting what they want, and keeping what they have. The "American way of life" is also about keeping things as they are.

>The primary reason we humans put ourselves on a pedestal and dictate a position of 'authority' over the animals is largely due to our apparent intellectual and technological superiority. But, if our intellect and technology is all the reason to enslave and kill lower-living beings, why not harbor the same attitude towards the disabled and mentally ill, many of whom are lower in intelligence than animals?

>Re-discovering creative freedom
Rules and regulations serve as useful boundaries to protect us from harm. But what about when those boundaries begin to impinge on one's capacity for their innate, natural expression to come forth? Delving back into the world of natural medicine helps me reflect on the nature of 'freedom' and its role in creative expression.

<center><h1>@gardeningchannel</h1></center>
>The approach that I like to use for gardening is to look at things from a whole system perspective.
Instead of just creating an ideal environment for growing one specific kind of plant, I like to create a system that supports all life and all plants.
Because of this mindset, my main focus is to build healthy soil. In order to create this healthy soil I like to drop down a thick wood chip mulch, then step back, because its not really me who creates the soil but the soil microorganisms.

>You know, I'm not a complicated person. I don't need much to be fulfilled.
For me, it is enough to have a mountain to climb and eat some living, natural foods up there... Nothing else do I need to be happy, to achieve bliss.
So I embarked on a journey of hiking the other day, with my friends some of whom were not physically in shape
Obviously, as expected, at some points of time they couldn't keep up the pace so I had to constantly wait for them... Move, stop - wait, start... That resulted in me constantly cooling down & warming up
But nevertheless, it was an amazing experience and all of us reached the top.
What I made sure to do, when I started changing my clothes, was picture myself topless while showing a big FUCK YOU TO THE SYSTEM. Lol

>This past week has certainly brought a lot of change & upheaval... and I'm feeling GREAT!
Of course the loss of almost 1,000,000 SP delegation to @TribeSteemUp is quite difficult in some ways, and has affected a couple hundred people... but for me personally the biggest change has been the removal of a lot of work, responsibility, and feeling stuck.

>Today I was reflecting on how my views and perspectives on diet have changed throughout the years.
As with the changing of seasons I too have changed what I choose to eat. In this vlog I highlight the nourishing soup I am preparing and talk about what it means to eat locally.
Today's food from the homestead and forest for our soup!
During my 8 years as a vegan, I have gained a great deal of perspective on what food means to me. Since living on the homestead and focusing more diligently at meeting my food needs I have allowed in a great amount of changes. I now respectfully raise, hunt or barter for the meat I eat.

>So. Here I am. Finally. This part of the world has called my heart for decades.
Where am I? In a wild part along the east coast of Burma, where the mountains meet the sea.
I'm here to spend a month alone, collecting and documenting wild healing plants and working with the indigenous Karen people who inhabit these wild jungles and mountains. What's it like? Sub-tropical, so damp, hot in the daytimes and very cool at nights, humid and utterly gorgeous.
