We Are Home :)))

Happy 10-10-10 everyone :)  

Happy World Raw Food Day, Happy Crystal Grid Activation Portal Day...what a wonderful day :)))

We are HOME :)))

After two months of travelling and speaking in N.America, Mr. Monarch and I are bursting with joy to be HOME again, at our beautiful homestead in Vilcabamba :)
It felt sooooooo GOOD to get back - we have both been sporting permagrins since our arrival, not least because we arrived home to meet a whole new member of our family ;O
Our mare Barbie is now the very proud mum of a beautiful baby boy (colt), named Cherry Star :))) Cherry arrived with the new moon on the morning of October 7th and is outrageously gorgeous - see below for evidence ;) We are so happy to welcome him to the land and our family :)))

Below are links to two sets of photos, some of Cherry Star and some of the garden/land, which is all coming along beautifully :) ENJOY :)

Left Brain/Right Brain Musings...

Mmmm...today I would like to share some recent mmmmmmusings on right-brain activation...
Since going raw almost eight years ago, I feel less and less willing to do 'left-brain' things: anything to do with numbers or logistics for example seems to be increasingly unappealing, challenging and even 'tedious' for me these days...

I seem to have been stepping further and further into right-brain modus operandi and away from the left-brain conditioning of my background... I am frequently reminded of a comment made by one of the founders of the Damanhur community in Italy when I visited there about two years into my raw food journey...the founder was describing how most of the members of the community there are artists/creators of the most astounding pieces of art and so on, yet something like paying an electricity bill seems almost *impossible* for them...at the point when I heard this, I couldn't really relate - I couldn't understand feeling that way, living in that kind of flow...now I feel like I totally get it ;)

Now...I can *do* numbers/logistics/left-brain blahblah if I choose to, don't get me wrong - I was a straight A student in all subjects at school, including maths and sciences...and YET...these kinds of areas hold absolutely *no* zing or passion for me at all...I may have been able to force my being as a child and teenager inside a system, to do my best and push into all kinds of crevices of my left brain to get the grades...now though, in the reality I choose for myself, that kind of behaviour is of no interest to me and there is simply no energy there anymore to 'force' myself into left-brain labouring ;) I sense that many people go through these kinds of transitions with a raw lifestyle, as we reconnect more to our 'true' selves, inner peace, creative flow and genuine bliss...mmmmm...I wish you all the very best of hemispheric balance ;)
