I’M FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THIS WHOLE NEW SCENARIO…🇮🇩🏆🇺🇸🎖️✌️🕉️

REMEMBER WHAT YOU LIVE FOR. In this case, I purchased a symbol of my vision when it appeared before my eyes on a road trip through Big Sur, California over 2 years ago - then en route and in transition to my current life in Bali, Indonesia - where I’m now just finally beginning to remember and understand who I am - and what I am here to accomplish on this planet called Earth. And wow, it’s quite a thing…

20 YEARS LATER…and I still have my first and original home-made thermal ink print of this portrait I took of my dear cousin - in another time and in another land. But the vibe remains the same. And this image is my reminder. 🙏🧡✌️

THE SECRET TO INFINITE ABUNDANCE… involves stopping to smell the flowers. Or in our case, to harvest and eat the flowers. So here is todays fresh harvest from the EarthBorn garden - the prized Butterfly Pea flower - scientifically known as “Clitoria” - for apparent reasons - offered for free by Mother Nature - but only for those who have they eyes to see and the inclination to partake.

IT’S ALWAYS A CHOICE. AWAITING ACTION.

THE ONLY THING MISSING IS YOU! And you know who you are. I’m awaiting your arrival.

MY STRATEGY FOR MANIFESTING ABUNDANCE IN LIFE? Find some really awesome neighbors to live next to with great taste in design and open hearts and minds - then treat them like dear friends and family - and then become like dear friends and family. Voila. It’s really not all that complicated. Pro Tip: Always bring some food and flowers and a big smile and you’re golden.

PARADISE IN PROGRESS… so if you’re looking for something unique and whimsical and worthy of a feature spread in Architectural Digest, I’ve know a few interesting options to consider - hidden within the magical secret nooks of Bali. Because all the money in the world can not buy what it does not know exists.

PROJECTS FOR THE DAY…

WELCOME TO VILLAGE LIFE… here’s what my morning yoga practice looks like at Eco-Art Village. It’s a paradise in progress - and a world apart.

WAKING UP IN LIFE. It’s the most important thing one can do. And now this is what I am waking up to these days, quite literally here at - Bali’s ultimate Eco-Art Village and private event destination.

MORNINGS BE LOOKING LIKE… Oso the bear showing up as my mirror in life. 🙃

HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M DOING IT RIGHT? Always a fair question in life: In the case of humans, I’m never really sure - but in the case of plants it’s both simple and obvious - they grow. And along the way they generate fruit and flowers and seeds - specifically for humans to enjoy and prosper from. It’s natures way. It’s generous and abundant and dependable always - but only when cared for properly. So this plant creature arrived to me broken and smashed after traveling 3 hours across Bali to get here - but 1 week later, with some proper care, Mother Nature is back doing her thing - as I carry on doing mine - taking care of and loving all the livings critters and creatures that I can manage. In this case just a little care and voila - we’re back to infinite abundance.

THE DREAM IS MANIFESTING! Not many people know how long I’ve spent fantasy dreaming about spending my days inhabiting a bamboo cathedral culinary kitchen in Bali - producing the world’s most beautiful, sustainable and nutritious superfoods for my friends, family and loved ones. And now here I am at the majestic eco-art community - with my dream of EarthBorn Evolutionary Superfoods & Botanical Apothecary finally coming to life! I’m humbled and honored by the journey that is unfolding. 🙏🧡✨

WHERE ARE WE NOW??? Oso waking up in a post-party haze after entertaining over 150 guests in our first night’s private event - which finally wound down at 2am with some after-hours balloon fights and fine tea served in the Romper Room Play House - aka my EarthBorn Co-Shared Community Eco-Home concept in progress . It’s a canvas waiting to be painted!

A NEW HOME AWAY FROM HOME! Even Oso the adventure bear is slightly disoriented this morning as we awake in our newest crash pad on planet earth - this one in Ubud, Bali. And I realize, after having lived nomadic for many years, that this “shared community kingdom” concept is starting to make sense - and so I welcome this opportunity to inhabit this beautiful and sacred space at the majestic Eco-Art Community. Fortunately I brought some rope lights, plants and incense with me for the housewarming party. 😉 Proving that sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
