I grew up in a rural farming community and I understand the limitations that society, friends, family and community may wish to thrust upon you so that you stay the same as they are. I have overcome the limitations that family, society, community and friends have chosen to inject upon myself and others. Fundamental change begins with some simple support methods that you do yourself. All challenges can be let go and with new thoughts, you entertain an elevated lifestyle.
