Jumping Beans

How i love the feeling of ‘jumping beans’ within me, it’s such a natural high. I remember my father saying to me: ‘you are so full of beans today, Loodle’.

By embarking on this journey to ecovillage, I have boarded the excitement train. It’s carriages are full of new learnings, people with life and passion in their bellies also wanting to play a role in proactively designing their own lifestyle instead of just reacting and adapting to what’s on offer. And although there are challenging and frustrating times in all this, I find life so energising, interesting and thoroughly addictive.

How good is it to hear the thoughts of fellow travellers who take me beyond what i already know, who open my eyes to other possibilities so that my dreams are always morphing and refining. How can things just keep seeming better and better? Last week absolutely fantastic listening to one couple tell of their interesting life and goals and to witness them notionally choosing their block on Narara; seeing the talented work of Tom who has great CAD and 3D skills and has designed a helicopter ride over our future village layout. WOW.

And then to receive an email this morning from a woman: ‘I've only recently discovered your "Sydney Coastal Eco Village" project website and really enjoyed reading about it on your blog. I felt inspired; it was so uplifting, like warm glow coming over me... Yes! There are other people out there who dream of the same things as me? When I read how you described the vision and concept of the eco village community, I could only mutter: "I so want to live there..."'

And from Helens email: My belief is NEXT year we'll have a Christmas celebration gathering at Narara, and it will be secured and happening! I Love it.

Common you, jump on the excitement train with me, keep expanding me and taking me to greener pastures and hopefully i’ll do the same for you. Baby, bring it on!
