I feel good sleeping until I decide to get up.

I make two batches of chocolates. I love the taste of a new recipe of almonds, cacao and honey.

I eat lunch with Trina at her place.

I buy a Alpaca blanket.

I nap.

I video tape Trina’s performance with some of her students. They’re the opening performance for the start of the New Years festivities.

The square is filled with people and the music plays as midnight approaches.

Some fireworks go off 10 minutes before midnight.

Midnight arrives and there are lots of hugs. The effigies are lit in the middle of the streets. I jump over 3 burning piles of effigies. Firecrackers have been going off all night and continue to do so.

I love celebrating in a place which is warm and feels lawless. People drinking in the street without hassle.

Poncho gives me a ride into the village on his scooter.

I share some time with Trina and Jennifer until they go to Matt Monarch’s place.

Trina and Jennifer surprise me with a visit at my place.

Any YOU, THEY, THEM, US and WE is an energy leak for me when I use them. I feel heard when I use the word I in place of any of the words mentioned.

At Sambuca’s, I enjoy the sitting with Ginna and Felix while they finish their lunch.

A while later I experience the pleasure of sharing conversation with Ana and Jakob.

FULL MOON!

The internet comes back on and in my Inbox is an email from Melissa. I love what she shares with me.

An email from Lindsey who owns The Naked Sweet Shop confirms that he has sent me 100 premium Madagascar vanilla beans. I have used these super fragrant and tasty beans in a chocolate recipe I called Kundalini Rising. 

Trina arrives as I leave for the Square.

I pick up a letter from Toronto at the Post Office.

Jade and I taxi up to Madre Tierra for lunch. The 3 hours is filled with a rich exchange of ideas and insights.

The veil thins as the matrix of my life is exposed. Each letter of the alphabet are the digits on the tumbler of a combination lock. Left then right then left until I hear the click. I pull the level and open the door to a new world. I peer from the digital age into the energetic age. A new way of navigating life with the ability to detect energetic changes. In dualistic terms, the loss or gain of energy through my existence. What do I feel energetically. How do I play energetically. All is seen from an awareness of energy. Creating through the word  be-cause it carries an energetic charge.  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Trina and I walk into the village after breakfast.

I wander from place to place for about 45 minutes before settling next to Jerri on one of the benches at the square. We share some insights before I make my way to the Juice Factory.

Stephen and I lunch together exploring ideas about the authentic self as I enjoy my lunch.

As Stephan rises to leave, Selene takes his place.

Selene and I walk to my place where I share food and chocolate with her and sip on Lemongrass tea from the garden. I like getting to know her. She’s here from Toronto only a short walk from where I use to live.

I nap.

I watch the movie 500 Days of Summer. I like it.

What a dream!

Sienna, Trina and I enjoy lunch on the terrace at Madre Tierra. Simon joins us in a delightful conversation.

Trina and I walk back to the village square. The sun is hot overhead as the meal slows my metabolism. Many of the villages restaurants and shops are open. I cab home and lie down for a nap. Trina returns a while later.

I love connecting with my Sarah for a Christmas phone call.

My home is filled with Trina’s voice as she practices her singing lessons while an enjoy the sun setting on another beautiful day.

Trina and I watch the 1951 version of a Christmas Carol. I love the last 10 minutes when Scrooge discovers he is still alive and changes his ways.

I dream that I am told that I am in a play. I am relieved that the actors are reading from a script. When I get my script I cannot read the lines or determine what my role is. 

I am pleasantly surprised when Trina comes by. We have a great sharing.

A white helicopter circles the valley, passes right by my place and lands in the football field. It’s the first aircraft sound I’ve heard in the valley.
