About @WWF
There are many things that I admire about @wwf, one of them is his honesty about the person he was before he began his healing journey. He has been very open about the issues that he came up against, in turning his life around. His journey has hot been an easy one, but it has led him to the person he is today. He is an artist, an author, Steward of Terra Mater and an avid researcher and activist. All of these things he shares on his blog as well as his passion for peace, freedom and healthy relationships.
His dedication to the earth and to his community is evident in the way that he lives and in the wisdom he shares on the platform. I am constantly inspired by his actions and his words. An example
For most of my life, I identified myself based on the criteria of my body. Then I started to identify myself based on what other people told me who I was. They even gave me little pieces of paper and plastic to help me identify myself when I was around them. Those fictions were granted to me from some other authority, but I did not know any better. I actually thought that they were me. Once we start to explore who we are, this connection becomes more and more difficult to maintain. Nearly 11 years ago I rejected it outright, gave that other authority their stuff back and started to explore who I REALLY am.
@wwf has been suffering with his health of late and only recently began to write on the platform after taking time for himself. I really do hope that he continues to share his open and honest wisdom with us all.
A few months back I realized that there is a huge difference between physical intimacy, sex being a part of that, and emotional intimacy. I wrote a post about this learning experience and it had profoundly touched many people.
When we start to acknowledge that each of us has this sacred space upon which we experience life, we must also acknowledge that it is our responsibility to protect that space and ensure nobody violates it's sacredness, including ourselves. But to do that requires efforts to heal ourselves, explore what the boundaries are in our lives and find the courage to stand up and say no when somebody violates them.
When we interact with other people, not only are we responsible to maintain the sanctity of our sacred space, but we must do the same with others. The problem I find in today's world is that boundaries are not treated with respect, reverence or honour. Within our own marriages and close emotionally intimate relationships, boundaries get crossed and people get hurt. This recently happened to me by some very dear friends of mine whom I loved very much. So what did I do? I confronted the abhorrent behaviour, said good bye to them and walked away.
Tribesteemup is made up of several smaller and active tribes on Steem. You can discover these groups and some amazing people below:

It is Earth Tribe's mission to support those on the Steem that are Earth conscious, eco-friendly, & want to truly benefit humanity by promoting topics of liberty, resisting tyranny & oppression, understanding diversity, and healing this world and our people, moving us and the planet forward in a positive direction. I also want this tribe to become a haven for star seeds, where they can connect, share ideas and inspiration, and collaborate on projects of healing and peace.
