By Tyler Touchette Driving an 80,000 dollar vehicle? The best clothes money can buy? Throwing away as much food as you eat? Buying more cars, boats, houses? These are just a few questions that I challenge any person to answer. Not to me, of course. To yourself. The truth is most people have completely lost track of what matters in this world. We’ve abandoned our culture. We’ve abandoned our ancient ways. Not just ‘aboriginal people’ but ALL people. The only ones who haven’t are the ones who are still untouched, tucked into a tiny piece of...
It’s OK and a great idea to dream big, but it’s also a smart idea to build realistic steps to reach that goal. Case in point: if you only go for a 1-mile run once per month or consider yourself to be a beginner runner, then it’s not recommended to make a goal of completing a half marathon next month. Instead, think about having a goal to complete a 5K race next month (walk or run) or even push back your half marathon goal to the end of the year allowing yourself significant time to properly train and prepare your body in a healthy, stead...

You can buy contact lenses, including decorative contact lenses, from your eye doctor, on the Internet or from a mail-order company. It’s very i...
