I, Ryan, suffer from chronic residual pain from my head to my toes, which over time resulted in getting major depression and anxiety. Also, having suffered many blows to the head resulting in several probable concussions, it has done a number on my memory and focus. To compound the issues, for 20 years I drank heavily to help me in trying to ignore the pain and override depression and anxiety. This resulted in becoming addicted to alcohol; however, on a positive note I just hit 4 years sobriety in June of 2020.
One thing I started to do several years ago to help clear my head was to paint. While I am not very good, it as a few hours to just release any stress, anxiety or issues that were consuming my thoughts and my life. To increase the effectiveness, I began painting things for other people. While many probably tossed them in the trash (which would be for good cause) it helped me to focus joy and gratitude in my work.

According to a 2018 article in Psychologytoday.com “In terms of basic results, they found that 73 percent of women and 98 percent of men reported internet porn use in the last six months, for a total of 85 percent of respondents.” The disturbing facts are the number of children from age 8 years old and older, that have either intentionally or unintentionally viewed internet porn.
This article isn’t necessarily about porn and if it is good or bad, that is a personal decision and topic.
The problem I find with porn is that it provides a negative stereotyping for nudist.

Have you ever heard of sensory deprivation tank, or often referred to as “float therapy”?
A float tank is a large soundproof tank/tub that contains about a foot of Epson salt filled water. The water is normally warmed up to the standard body temperature, so you aren’t to cold or to hot. While it is only 12 inches of water, the salt helps you to float. The soundproof part of the tank helps to cut out the background noise and allows you to help remove distractions and get the benefit of deprivation.
According to an article written by Michael J. Breus, Ph.D. in Psychology Today, he states that “there’s a growing body of research that demonstrates the potential for floatation therapy to significantly improve physical pain. Studies show pain relief is one of the most prominent benefits of floatation REST therapy. While we’re still relatively early in exploring the full spectrum of possible therapeutic benefits, scientific research has investigated float therapy in treating many different types of pain and pain conditions, with promising results.” REST stands for restricted environmental stimulation therapy.

ook at the many protests that are occurring across the U.S and we (the white people) trying to tell our African American brothers and sisters “I know what you going through and I support you”. Truth breaker, you have no idea what they are going through unless you are black, indigenous or a person of color (BIPOC) and then you may begin to understand the oppression, targeting, and discrimination another person faces. Until then, you can only assume what it is like from what you have seen on T.V. or been told by another person
Why is it that a man can walk around his yard, down the street, or at an event and no one blinks when he doesn’t have a shirt on; however, if a woman does this all hell breaks loose and the cops are call. Hell, people even talk shit or have a hissy fit if a women doesn’t wear a bra.
There are many health benefits of relaxing such as the reduction of stress, lowing your heart rate and blood pressure, increasing the blood flow to your major muscle groups, and…
When we moved to Spokane in the summer of 2018, we were on the hunt for a good local nudist resort near us to check out.
We have two about the same driving distance from us, Kaniksu Ranch which is located in Loon Lake WA and Sun Meadow in Worley ID. We opted to try Kaniksu and gave them a call.
The weekend we randomly chose happened to be their open house weekend with no gate fee for non-members, and was busier than normal; however, from the initial call through the check-in and to our departure it was a great time with really friendly staff and members. Not only was it their open house, it was the “National Skinny Dipping Day” so of course we had to get in the pool and do our part to try to help set the world wide Guinness Book of World Records skinny dippers.
To say we really enjoy the place is an understatement. We have enjoyed it so much that we haven’t tried Sun Meadows (although we will for sure), we just continue to go back to Kanisksu over and over.

Have you ever noticed in our society everyone has a label? This label helps to fit them in a perfect little box, so everyone knows just how to quietly judge them.
Whether it is your sexuality, relationship status, race/ethnicity, financial status, education level, religious choosing, political affiliation or any one of the varieties of lifestyle choices you make.
Everything must have a label. Without it, we often seek to find out what it is.
