The moon sits nestled in a deep, orange waning phase in the distance of the countryside I currently look out upon. The midwest heat has subsided for the evening, leaving a faint feeling of sticky sweat and smelly armpits to accompany this fresh coconut I just opened. A mixed smell of sweet and sour; I'll take it. The cicadas sit in their natural home, creating the nostalgic sounds I remember from my childhood. Buddy, the black farm cat, curls up in my lap making it hard for me to write. He never fails in knowing every time I sit on the front porch, meowing loudly until I invite him into the cusp of my thighs. He then uses his purrs and paws to his advantage in a cuddly montage that makes me melt. Every time. He's the type of cat that can withstand being held in any awkward human position, so long as he's receiving love. Good thing for him I have lots of that to give. The other farm cat, Pixie, riotously waits for me every morning in the garage until I come out to feed them. I honestly can't remember the last time she didn't greet me, and with that kind of affection the cats are, of course, the first animals on the farm to be fed.
It's these simple pleasures I enjoy between rising out of bed and settling back into the soft sheets that are a gracious reminder of the many blessings we receive in our lives. Have you recognized you're blessed today? If not, take this moment, this now, to relish in all you're blessed with. Because we are infinitely blessed!
Two days ago a new blessing came into my life. I was invited by a friend of mine to become part of a blog team; blogs that embody a greater vision for natural, sustainable living, wholesome, nourishing foods, organic matters and dreams to embody and manifest in an uplifting manner that may reach a reader and continue onward. Overwhelmed with excitement, I accepted the invitation instantly. It's one of my deep passions to share the amazing life I live in order to inspire, encourage, uplift and provide accessible learning tools to people in hopes that others may begin living their BEST LIFE EVER! I choose to fully embody the meaning of Tasunke. Because, undoubtedly, there is no other time than right NOW, this present moment. Breathe deep. Deep. Release. And smile :)
So, my friends, elders, lovers, brother and sisters, all wrapped up in a yummy raw nori wrap or love, I invite you to experience this journey, share my thoughts with me in hopes to create a better world in which to live in. I foresee future blogs containing a wide range of topics, from empowerment blogs to raw food recipes, personal experiences from my travels to gardening tips. I hope to delve deep into the ocean of knowledge and be a student and a teacher, because each one of us are all both.
Are you ready? I am. One....two..... ∞
Om. Bow. Bless.
Tasunke
