They say its holy water.
But what about holy humans?

It started with love, truth, and system fatigue…
how it all began...
Way back since the age of dial-up computers, I was writing about health and wellness. But later expanded to politics, motherhood, and living a life ignited. But throughout the years, my words continually steered towards the same themes:
The power that Peopled us here - is the power we hold within.
The worlds institutions steal that power and leave us feeling frustrated, unhealthy, disconnected, empty, and stressed.
If we reclaim this power, trust this power, and own this power?
Our life becomes the greatest-love story.
While I live my life full-throttle, go in at a volume of 11, and live life with the most sacred tenderness and joy - the world around us does not. I was frustrated with the dismal health of humanity, the lack of zest, zeal, verve, and vigor, and chronic heartbreaking division.
So, instead of waiting around and complaining - I decided to start a movement and The Philosophy of You was born.
And I thought, maybe, just maybe, if humanity could awaken to the power we hold, we could and would make a happier, healthier, more fully alive planet. This life is ever so infinitely singular and finitely mortal and this life should be lived as the greatest human experience.
The Philosophy of You is the rebuttal to the worlds systems and institutions that program us to consume, obey, endure. This is a way to reclaim the soul-sourced life we are meant to live.

Hello. I am
Rebecca York DC
Great to meet you.
who it began with
I’m Rebecca York who….
• Loves jet-setting to the sweet-spots of humanity.
• Has 3 daughters that are my 3 human poems.
• Got a formal education from dive-bars, good humans, old philosophers, great poets, and world travel. I also hold a degree in Chiropractic.
• Slings words about love, anarchy, passport, and passion!
• Has a bit of pirate mouth & loves a good dirty joke.
• Watches Hallmark movies and Game of Thrones.
• Has learned just as much from assholes as beautiful humans – which pisses me off. But, such as life.
• Knows without a doubt that the same force that spins our atoms, moves the seas, and rotates the earth - is the same life-force that pulses within each of us. And we should harness it and ride it bare-back with the wind in our hair!
• Brings the flirt when flirting with disaster.
• Will NOT be caged, herded, or diminished by the narrow confines of societal norms, fears, or template expectations. (I don’t care what the brochure says.)
• Has been to 43 countries to date.
• Shares ideas they are not for the masses. They are for the star-gazers, the wanderers and wonderers, the liberation-seekers, and the unapologetic-sparks of life. (Welcome home.)
• Gets so excited when my words ignites humans back to LIFE! ***eyes fly open, dancing with possibilities*** (My work is done here, young grasshopper.)
• I am among the rare 7% of woman who home-birthed our 3 daughters.
• Gets bored in suburbia, restless with routine, and lives my life like an UN-procedure manual. Not because I’m an outlaw (*swoon), or because I’m an anarchist (well, maybe) or because I'm crazy (most likely!) But because it’s in my nature. Some of us can’t outrun that soulful kind of DNA.
• My favorite books as a child was Pippi Longstockings and Little House on the Prairie. Which explains everything.
• I’ve been married for 26+ years to the love of my life. What’s the secret? Humor, passion, and a "patient" amount of wine.
• 10 years ago, we sold everything, bought 5 tickets, 5 backpacks, and traveled around the world for a year with 3 kids in tow. (Another story entirely.)
• When I’m depressed or disillusioned, (rare, but #news), I google scandalous women of history. They stir me back alive every time!
• I have a disdain for folks who whittle down their entire identity to a political bumper sticker. There’s so much more to life, people! *starts to yawn and looks for an exit
• Loves the phrase: “Ella que se crea a sí misma" - which is Spanish for “She who creates herself." If I were to get a tattoo, that would be.
• LOVES Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris. My favorite place on the planet. If I could live in there?! I would. My second favorite is Afrikan Burning man in South Africa. (See you next year, burners!)
• Spends the summers practicing archery and canning tomatoes.
• Drinks coffee black, like my clothes, and dark humor.
• Has a soft bleeding heart. I am the opposite of Beth Dutton of Yellowstone.
• Has a sister who reads everything single word I write - and I cannot thank her enough for her support. (Hi Bayne!)
• Is obsessed with dictionaries, Cape Town, Green Velvet Couches, and 1920’s Paris.
If this doesn't answer all of your questions, send me an email. My heart lives wide open.
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. it is possible.
It is yours.” - Ayn Rand.
First typewriter age 10. Wish I still had that old friend. I'd frame it on the wall.
