Salt Lick Rules for Living

1. Kindness is the only god.

2. Feed your animals before yourself.

3. Treat the people below you in the food chain better than those above.

4. “Live or die, but don’t poison everything.” (Anne Sexton)

5. Live your life according to the deepest needs of your most authentic self.

6. Look every service person in the eye and treat them like a person, not a role.

7. Don’t eat dead bodies and collude with the murder of innocent animals.

8. Remember that a life of purpose is a good life.

9. Accept what people have to give. Not everyone can give real loyalty and long-term friendship. That doesn’t mean you have to throw them away. Figure out what people have to give and don’t be bitchy about what they don’t have. Cherish the ones who can.

10. On the other hand, let go of toxic people no matter the cost. No matter the cost.
