rant & detox post
Its 100Β°F
Air Quality is bad
This week I started getting off sugar & caffeine. I'm on day 4.

Im doing this because I'm traveling in a few weeks to parts of the 🌎 where a coffee finding coffee is difficult (been through this a few times before). So it's just easier to get use to no caffeine. Likewise, Sugar is a rare commodity.

I'm going through withdrawal symptoms πŸ‘‡ & craving chocolate, ice cream and iced coffee. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ«¨πŸ˜¬

@Bliss May I ask where you are going? No sugar, no coffee?!

@gemswinc Doing humanitarian work in several islands off beaten path of the Philappine. I do this every 5-7 yrs. I cant bring coffee with me because drug smugglers use it to throw off dogs, so dogs now target coffee.

Where I am going I will be eating very basics. suitcase space is for personal water filtration systems other than clothes. I will barely have plumbing and electric, so no AC or refrigerators. Millions live this way so it keeps me humble & grateful.

@Bliss I am impressed! Thanks for sharing, you are an asset to humanity ❣️

@Bliss

may your work go well and thank you.πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

Thanks for the support. It's a safe place as long as I dress and act like a local and stay street smart.

Why I go... to help with thousands of throwaway children. As a christian nation that has no social safety net, where contraception is not readily available and abortion is outlawed, kids are abandoned in the streets or dropped off at orphanages or sold in to sex trade. It's heartbreaking work but I go and help and then come home and heal from πŸ’”
