189 – Life Is Significant…so are you!

Life Is Significant… In the above picture I was demonstrating how NOT to weed a garden, it was kind of a joke. You never know whats going to happen on Fridays…because I just talk about what is in the upper crust of my brain.  As it relates to being abetter man of course. Before I get into today’s content though, I am going to acknowledge the sponsor of today’s program, Stump Town kilts.  They are called the sponsor because they help me produce the Friday episodes…without them, there may not be any Friday episodes so I encourage all of you to head over to their website at stumptownkilts.com to check them out. As their name implies, they make kilts.  In my opinion the finest most innovative kilts available.  These are the only kilts I will wear now, because I love them.  The craftsmanship is impeccable, the design features are cutting edge.  They are doing things no other kilt manufacturer is doing…like making them adjustable to five or six sizes, making snap on accessory pockets, and don’t forget about the huge hidden pocket right in the front and the durable wash and wear fabric…which means no ironing.  If you have ever considered stepping up your game and wearing a manly kilt, then this is where you need to go;  stumptownkilts.com.  As a listener of this program, you can get 10% off your entire purchase by entering the code:  betterman at checkout.  All one word, all lower case.  So check them out today at stumptownkilts.com.

Alright, so today what is on my mind is dirt.  As in the stuff that covers the earth that plants grow out of.  The reason I’m thinking about dirt is because I spent most of the day with my wife, getting our garden ready for planting.  I’m covered with dirt right this minute in fact, just like in the picture. It was a lot of work.  I can feel it in my back and my knees, but it was a good day.  There is something about working the soil that is very primal, it goes back to our very early ancestors.  Just having your hands in the dirt, preparing it to be planted with things you will eventually eat.  There is something about the act of doing that, that connects you to the land and changes your outlook on things. I realize not everyone has a garden.  Many people live in cities, or in situations where gardening is not an option.  Here me out on this though.  The point I’m making applies to everyone. I do not garden for survival.  No one I know gardens for...
