When was the last time you asked yourself “What do I believe, and WHY do I believe it…” when it comes to the question of God and your spiritual walk?
How you define your spiritual nature becomes the moral compass – the guidebook – for how you move about the world. What you decide becomes the foundation for how you treat yourself, others, and ultimately the planet.
I have no dogs in the fight here. I honor the atheist with the same love and respect I regard the Bible-thumping Christian or anyone else for that matter. I’m far less concerned about your belief system than I am about WHY you believe what you choose believe.
Does your spiritual belief (and any religious expression of that belief) carry a coherent purpose that leads you to your best and favorite self? Or does it serve as a weapon you formed out of fear and bring uncomfortable angst to your table?
You can’t be in a state of self-care without answering the question of your spiritual nature.
Let’s get into it…

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
