Quick Glace Solutions:

Ridiculous

  • Let's rethink DEI and redirect it to focus on helping people focus on similarities rather than diversities, replace equity thinking with empathy thinking and replace inclusion talk with understanding talk. 
  • Eliminate the congress and senate and allow the people to vote for everything. I mean, didn't we create legislators when people didn't have ways to communicate or travel across the country? Do we even need them anymore? Don't they just get in the way?
  • Make Health Insurance/welfare - Incentive Based - get coverage if you work for it. No more MH as a reason to get disability income, SSI, unless a person is in a locked facility for life. Not working causes increases in MH symptoms.
  • Let's transform education and public spaces! Make k-12, treatment centers, political events/sessions/meeting, veteran's affairs, hospitals, and prisons 75% outdoors to reduce negative feelings.
  • Let's revamp education; based on real-life skills, such as wilderness survival, cooking, taxes, home buying, healthcare, parenting, problem-solving, addiction, and mental health. 
  • Also, grant unmarried fathers custody at birth. It's time for a positive change! 
  • Let's make the law understandable to the least educated. We criminalize people who can’t even read, let alone, understand the law language.
  • We need to make divorce easier and more affordable, or re-embrace marriages in the church. Also, let's stop favoring married people for tax purposes.  Get rid of spousal maintenance. 
  • Let's revamp the child protection system to prioritize children's well-being and reduce the system's burden. Positive changes are on the horizon! 
  • Let's rethink child protection. Instead of strict timelines, let's focus on helping families and kids. Why not support struggling families with their water bills? Let's base parenting rights on merit, not rediculous expectations.
  • And most importantly, let's listen to what the kids want. The whole CPS system needs a big change for the better! Let's reimagine foster care and eliminate rewards for states and counties who quickly adopt children into new families before giving a parent a real chance and time to heal. 
  • What if employers got tax credits for hiring? Why not work 30 hours, enjoy family time?
  • People power: let's vote on everything. Do we really need old-school legislators? Incentivize health coverage through work. Let's inspire productivity and health!

     

Did you know?

  • Did you know that all but one mass public shootings were by a male?
  • Did you know that mass shootings are derived out of resentment and suicidal intent?


  • Did you know that it is virtually illegal in all 50 states for an unmarried father to have custody or parenting time?
  • Did you know that if a parent does not let the other parent see their child, there is no real enforcement if the child simply doesn't want to see that parent. This is a frequent occurrence when one parent has limits on cell phones and video games and the kid wants to go to the parent's home that has overly permissive parenting that is proven to be detrimental to the child.


  • Did you know that states and counties get financial incentives to adopt a child out to a family within 6 months. 
  • Did you know that foster parents are sometimes promised the ability to adopt a child before the biological parent is done working on the plan to get the child back.
  • Did you know that it takes 1.5 years for a recovering addict's brain to get back to normal, but the child protection permanency law only allows for 6 months to prove the parent is healthy and ready to take care of their child.


  • Did you know that nature is one of the best ways to help humans avoid holding on to resentments?
  • Did you know that nature also helps with chronic disease and sleep?


ChatGPT says this about nature and resentments:

Nature can be a powerful ally in helping to release and heal feelings of resentment. Here are several ways nature can assist in this process:


 1. Presence and Mindfulness

Being in nature encourages mindfulness — focusing on the present moment. Resentment often arises from dwelling on past events or imagined future outcomes. When you're surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of nature, your mind has the opportunity to slow down, release its grip on negative emotions, and simply BE. The act of grounding yourself in the here and now helps you let go of the mental narratives that fuel resentment.


2. A Sense of Perspective

Nature is vast, enduring, and indifferent to human dramas. The size and age of trees, mountains, and oceans can provide a shift in perspective. The natural world is not concerned with personal grievances, and this can remind you that your struggles, while significant, are part of a much larger story. This broader view can help release attachment to negative emotions and remind you of the fleeting nature of personal conflicts.


3. Physical Relaxation

Resentment often manifests as tension in the body — tight shoulders, clenched jaws, and a racing heart. Spending time in nature, especially in calm or peaceful environments (like forests, beaches, or parks), can help you physically relax. This physical release is often a precursor to emotional release. Deep breathing while surrounded by fresh air, the rhythm of waves, or the stillness of a forest can help ease the body and mind, making it easier to let go of negative feelings.


4. Healing Energy of Nature

Many people report feeling a sense of healing or renewal when they connect with nature. The grounding energy of the earth, the oxygenating effect of trees, and the rhythmic sounds of nature can have a deeply soothing and restorative effect. This sense of rejuvenation can provide emotional healing, reducing the hold resentment has on your mind.


5. Restoring Balance

Resentment often stems from feeling wronged, unbalanced, or disconnected from others. Nature is full of balance: the changing seasons, the interdependence of ecosystems, and the cyclical rhythms of life. Observing these natural processes can inspire a sense of harmony and interconnectedness, reminding you that life is about cycles of growth, decay, and renewal — which includes emotional growth. Nature teaches that emotions, too, evolve and transform.


6. Connection to Something Greater

Being in nature can help foster a sense of awe, which can diminish the intensity of personal grievances. Whether it's watching the sunrise, listening to birds, or standing before a majestic mountain, nature can evoke a sense of something greater than yourself. This connection can remind you that, while resentment may feel consuming, it is only one small part of the larger fabric of life.


7. Creative Release

Nature often inspires creativity. Whether through art, journaling, or simply reflecting, being in nature can help you express your feelings in a constructive way. Writing down your emotions, creating something beautiful, or simply talking to someone in a peaceful natural setting can help release the energy behind resentment.


8. Fostering Compassion

Nature’s resilience — how it heals itself after storms, regrows after fires, or adapts to challenges — can inspire feelings of compassion and forgiveness. Just as plants and animals find ways to survive and thrive, so too can we heal from emotional wounds. This can help shift the focus from bitterness and anger to understanding and compassion for yourself and others.


9. Engagement in Physical Activity

Nature often invites movement, whether it’s hiking, walking, swimming, or just sitting quietly. Engaging in physical activity can help release pent-up emotions and reset the body’s emotional state. Physical movement has been shown to release endorphins, which can improve mood and help reduce feelings of resentment or anger.


10. Spiritual Healing 

For some, nature is a spiritual experience. Whether you view nature as sacred, divine, or a natural force, spending time outdoors can open the heart and mind to healing. Whether through prayer, meditation, or simply being present, nature can serve as a space for deep inner reflection, healing, and letting go of emotional baggage like resentment.


By immersing yourself in nature, you tap into its ability to calm, heal, and restore, helping you release negative emotions like resentment and create space for emotional growth and healing.

  • Did you know that it is illegal in all 50 states, that when a child is born to an unmarried father he has no parenting rights/time/custody? 
  • All states say they allow father's rights via a petition to the courts, but in Minnesota, for example, if the mother claims the father is abusive, whether there is proof or not, this can hold up the courts for 2 or more years and cost the father upwards of 10's of thousands of dollars. And since child support is connected to # of overnight parenting days, mothers have a great incentive to claim the father is abusive.
  • US Census reported that the number of children living with only the mother has doubled in the past 50 years. Interestingly, the laws giving mother's all the rights at birth, if the parents are not married, started 50 years ago! https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/04/number-of-children-living-only-with-their-mothers-has-doubled-in-past-50-years.html
  • There are 369,000 children in the child welfare system in their most recent report in fiscal year 2022!
