I recently got a hold of The Ringing Cedars series and it swept my head clear of all the confusion that I allowed in my life. It also confirmed a lot of things that I felt growing up and I remembered events from the past with a certain resolve. And now for the future of my little ones I am eagerly making the necessary changes to transform our way of living.
I have a vision of a certain piece of land that has 2 natural springs on it and enough space for a permaculture food forest to sustain about 15 people I guess. 2 homes and a guest cottage so friends can fly in, 'graze' in my garden and soak in the nature, a swimming pool and a storage barn to the other side. I also see on the land a chicken coup so that I can have organic eggs and 2 beehives on one corner of the land surrounded by wild flowers & clovers.
I sketched out various drafts all thanks to Anthony's example and enthusiasm about permaculture and a raw way of life. If it wasn't for discovering his blog, I wouldn't have started this journey myself or gone back to raw foods like I was on when I was modeling in another lifetime. (Having children was like having a free pass to birthday parties galore and I sort of indulged in almost every junk food out there, forgetting the raw way of eating.) Going back to my sketches, I will eventually concretize them with an architect and book the listed building company to build 2 modern homes with solar panels and a swimming pool. The end result is 90% crystal clear in my mind and I am overjoyed with how everything is materializing one by one.
I even enlisted Isaura who has worked for my in laws for 20 years to live with us in a few years and manage my boys and the household help since I will be traveling a lot. She is solid as a rock and not too far from a type of woman that Anastasia is. My kids adore her and this is just one of the many blessing in my life.
I am constantly humbled and in awe of Life and all it's gifts!
