ARTISAN MARKETS

THIS PAST WEEKEND WE PARTICIPATED IN A SMALL MARKET THAT THEY HAVE ONE SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH IN SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA. SO COOL...  WE WERENT REALLY SURE WHAT TO EXPECT, WE HAD A FRIEND TELL US ABOUT IT. HE SAID IT WAS A LITTLE MARKET WHERE  A FEW ARTISTS GET TOGETHER ONCE A MONTH AND HAVE A LITTLE SHOW. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING OUT SHOWS LIKE THIS, I AM PRETTY SURE THEY ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER, IN FACT A FRIEND OF MINE SAID THEY WERE STARTING TO HAVE THEM OVER IN BALI ALSO. AS A NEW SMALL CLOTHING BRAND IT WAS REALLY COOL TO GET TOGETHER WITH OTHER SMALL BUSINESS STARTERS, PEOPLE WHO TOOK THEIR PASSION AND MADE A BUSINESS OUT OF IT. IT WAS REALLY INSPIRING. WE ALSO MET A BUNCH OF REALLY COOL PEOPLE AND MADE NEW FRIENDS, TO HELP INSPIRE US TO KEEP DOING IT. HONESTLY, THE BEST PART OF SELLING IN MARKETS LIKE THIS, IS YOU GET TO MEET THE PEOPLE WHO BUY YOUR STUFF AND GET TO CHAT WITH THE REAL PEOPLE WHO ARE BACKING YOUR STUFF. IT WAS COOL TO SEE PEOPLE GET EXCITED ABOUT THE STUFF WE WERE EXCITED ABOUT. OVERALL MORAL TO THE STORY IS WHEN THEY SAY "SHOP LOCAL" I GET IT NOW, ITS RAD GO OUT AND MEET THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE YOUR STUFF, IT GIVES SO MUCH MORE MEANING TO THE THINGS YOU OWN WHEN THEY ALL HAVE A STORY AND FACE BEHIND THEM.

IF YOU ARE EVER IN SAN CLEMENTE YOU GOTTA LOOK UP theyurtsc.com  AND FIND OUT WHEN THE SHOWS ARE CAUSE THERE ARE SOME TREASURES IN THERE, FROM JEWELRY TO ESSENTIAL OILS TO AWESOME CANDLES AND CLOCKS, TO VEGAN SNACKS EVEN SOME REALLY COOL CLOTHING. AND PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU STOP BY AND SAY HELLO TO US, CAUSE WE LOVE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE.

JEAN MICHEL BASQUIAT - STYLE MASTER

ITS VERY TRUE THAT JEAN MICHEL  BASQUIAT WAS A BRILLIANT ARTIST, BUT TO ME HE WAS A STYLE ICON, WHATEVER HE WORE WAS COOL, HE WORE THINGS THAT YOU WOULDNT THINK WOULD WORK, BUT ON HIM EVERYTHING WORKED. I REMEMBER READING THAT HE WOULD BUY 2 THOUSAND DOLLAR SUITS AND PAINT IN THEM, SO, HE WOULD BE CRUISING AROUND WITH FANCY SUITS THAT WERE COVERED IN PAINT. THATS COOL. AND HE HAD THE BEST HAIRCUTS EVEN SOMETIMES MIXING IT WITH A COOL HAT. 

WAYNE DYER - R.I.P. YOU WILL BE MISSED

DR WAYNE DYER WAS THE MAN IF YOU ARE A FAN OF MOTIVATION AND FEELING GOOD, HE SPENT MOST OF HIS LIFE WORKING ON FINDING WAYS TO HELP PEOPLE FEEL BETTER AND MAKE BETTER LIVES. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LOOKING INTO THIS MANS WORK. HE WROTE A BUNCH OF BOOKS AND THERE ARE LOTS OF VIDEO, HE WAS A VERY BUSY GUY WHEN IT CAME TO PUTTING INFO OUT. I AM THANKFUL THAT I WAS ALIVE WHILE HE WAS AROUND, CAUSE HE HAS MADE AN IMPACT ON THIS WORLD AND DEFINATELY ON ME. AND HE WAS FROM THE SAME AREA OF MICHIGAN I AM FROM.

RUSSELL SIMMONS - IS A COOL DUDE

THE REASON WE LOVE RUSSELL SIMMONS IS THE DEPTH HE POSSESSES, ONE OF THE CREATORS OF HIP HOP MUSIC WAS JUST ONE THING, HE IS A HUGE ADVOCATE OF ANIMAL RIGHTS AND VEGETARIANISM, HE MEDITATES, PRACTICES YOGA AND MOST OF ALL I LIKE HIS PRESENCE, HE HAS A CALMNESS THAT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN, YOU WORK FOR IT. HE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HARD WORK CREATES GOOD THINGS.

In January 2011 he stated in an interview that he is not a Buddhist as previously reported, but is a non-religious practitioner of Yoga, where he prays to the Ātman, or the self. Simmons practices a method of Yoga known as Jivamukti Yoga, which encourages vegetarianism and social and environmental activism.

Simmons is a practitioner of Transcendental Meditation (TM) and a supporter of the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace, which was established to ensure that any child in America who wants to learn and practice TM can do so.

WAY OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR - DAN MILLMAN CHANGED MY LIFE WHEN I READ THIS BOOK

DAN MILLMAN ABSOLUTELY CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER WITH THE BOOK WAY OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR, THE WAY I LOOKED AT LIFE AND HOW TO LIVE IT WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME, THIS IS A LOFTY CLAIM, BUT IT IS TRUE. I WAS GIVEN THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS 19, I WASN'T MUCH OF A READER, I THINK MAINLY BECAUSE I HAD NEVER REALLY BEEN EXCITED ABOUT WHAT I READ, I LIKED A GOOD STORY, BUT I WANTED IT TO MEAN SOMETHING. I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN, AND IT OPENED UP MY APPETITE FOR MAKING MY LIFE AND EVERYTHING AROUND ME BETTER, AND THAT I COULD DO IT. IT CHANGED THE WAY I PERCEIVED THE WORLD, NO LONGER A VICTIM, I HAD WORK TO DO, BUT THE WORK HAD MEANING. SINCE READING THIS I HAVE BOUGHT MANY COPIES, I WOULD GIVE THEM AS GIFTS TO ANYONE INTERESTED. PLEASE GO OUT AND FIND THIS BOOK, AND THEN READ ALL HIS BOOKS, THEY WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING YOU NEED, IM SURE IT IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE, AS WE ALL HAVE A DIFFERENT PATH, BUT THE PART I FOUND MOST USEFUL WAS THAT ANYONE CAN BE A BUDDHA ON A MOUNTAIN, BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOUR IN TRAFFIC, BELIEVE ME THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO LEARN, AND THIS BOOK TAUGHT ME THAT. CHECK OUT DAN MILLMAN, HE HAS WRITTEN MANY BOOKS SINCE WAY OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR AND THEY ARE ALL EXCELLENT.

SACRED GEOMETRY

SACRED GEOMETRY IS CRAZY, I CAN SAY HONESTLY, I DON'T COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND IT YET. BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIT WHEN YOU SEE THE PATTERNS AND THEN SEE THEM OCCURRING NATURALLY IN PLANTS AND OTHER THINGS ON EARTH, IT STARTS TO SEEM REAL. THERES ALSO A LOT OF THESE SYMBOLS OCCURRING IN THE PAST GOING BACK A FEW THOUSAND YEARS. ITS VERY EXCITING TO COME ACROSS THINGS LIKE THIS, I THINK IF YOU GET TO A POINT OF REALLY TRULY UNDERSTANDING THIS, IT WILL EXPLAIN A LOT ABOUT OUR UNIVERSE AND ENERGY AND US. I BETTER GET BACK TO READING MORE ABOUT SACRED GEOMETRY, IM DYING TO UNDERSTAND IT. BELOW ARE A COUPLE VIDEOS THAT START TO EXPLAIN IT, BUT ITS NOT AN EASY SUBJECT.
