My Taoist Timeline

  • My Father Grew Up In Asia

    My Father Grew Up In Asia
    He didn't realize it but it is very clear to me now that he lives a Taoist lifestyle very very much so and I think I can attribute this to an early exposure to Asian philosophies when he was very young. This lead to him raising me in a more Taoist way.
  • I Was Born

    I Was Born
    Of course, it is essential to this timeline for me to be born in order to be raised by my father in a Taoist way and to discover all these things about it.

    Of course I didn't know anything about it that I know now but I just really liked Winnie The Pooh. I had a Pooh Bear hat and a stuffed Winnie The Pooh.
  • Read The Secret

    Read The Secret
    This book was one of the first philosophy books I read and it sparked my interest in philosophy. It was my favorite until I learned about Taoism but I think it plays into Taoism perfectly and so I still follow and believe in both.
