040: The Planters of the New Earth!

Hola Amigos,

Writing to you from New York City, and reflecting a bit on my journeys back and forth over the last 18 years from Costa Rica. New York will always be home, I love the diversity of people, food, familiar streets. Yet the loud sirens and crowds of people do feel weird on my system now, as I live most of my time, in a cabin in the mountains with my dog, and the biggest crowd I get is our family of ducks and moody geese going for their daily walk. Needless to say, when you have a reason for being somewhere, you make moves. Anchoring always in a strong Why ahead of a trip like this, Choosing wisely...

My Why? Start to see my family as much as possible and to see my community at Leap Forward as we mobilize energy, money, and brain power to ease the suffering happening in the Middle East conflict. Family, Community, and connection to a Purpose greater than myself (ease suffering - spread light) was the Why of this trip. We can't live with our eyes closed. Indifference has allowed for the worst atrocities humanity has known. It's very easy for me to be in the malaise of business and social gatherings, and not in touch with what matters Now in my life. What matters the most to you right now? Are you getting it? If not, what are you waiting for?

I always related to Neo in the Matrix, walking between both worlds. On one hand, I see the systems of the old world decaying - people divided, isolated, social media fog, education and social fabrics degrading... On the other hand, I am seeing massive amounts of people saying, "Enough!" and standing to build a new one. They're standing boldly for their Truth! They draw a line in the sand and say fuck this. I'm going to pause and re-assess my life, wake up to reality and take bold action. Many are deciding to research other alternatives and take risks to pave a new future for themselves.

Okay let's get into it shall we... We're going deep as usual, so bring your scuba gear my friends!

Here's What I Want to Share This Week:

1. Planters of the New Earth - Seeds for a New Humanity

The Rabbi at my sister's synagogue shared, that after the the Great Flood, in the stories of Noah and the many other traditions that depict this event, the Earth was re-planted. There were these planters of the new earth, who planted the seeds that would re-grow humanity. We are those planters. So its our responsibility to spread love and compassion, and be that love wherever we see darkness and injustice. Not to sit by passively as others suffer, but to actively engage in the change we know is needed. To live in greater harmony with nature, each other, our families and neighbors. To live in balance and in good health, and to feel a sense of purpose beyond ourselves.

What's my real motivation in giving a crap about this mud-ball? I fucking love people. I love them so deeply, and so what you feel when you speak to me, is more than humor and friendliness, it's someone who loves people and connects deeply to them! And therefore, bridging them to a life less ordinary, to a life that's an alternative possibility, has been my role for quite some time. As I took a leap into freedom, I enjoy paying it forward, and helping others do the same thing, just leaving them a bit of a map, so they can avoid the potholes :) We need each other for this chapter of humanity, we're not alone, and yes, we are indeed the one's we've been waiting for. Another world is possible and is being created, each day by those who stand for Truth in the face of injustice and stand for their own freedom as their perception widens each day.

2. Changing Seasons & Changing Lives

As the season's change on the East Coast of the US, the colors we see are out of this world. Getting into nature with friends, is something I always love doing, as I breath, walk and gaze with wonder and awe. This was a train ride from NYC, so no excuses. You don't need to get to Costa Rica to be blown away by nature. Make your paradise wherever you are, even if its for a few hours... And if you live in paradise, and everything feels amazing in life, well - go make someone else's life better!

3. Designs that caught my eye this week!

I love design. So I love the days in the office with VOID CR, dreaming up the future, now! I also love that they hook up LTP clients like none other! Some designs from the tropics to NYC to follow :)

This Week's Curiosities

First Curiosity: There are many paths to choose...

NYC is littered with incredible street art that tells a vibrant story - the rich tapestry of life in the Big Apple and those who inhabit it.

Second Curiosity: Best Pizza in NYC????

Okay, so you may as well ask me the meaning of life. But not to drive you crazy, best classic NYC slice - Joe's hands down. Consistent awesomeness in every bite. If you are into thin crust, Rubirosa's got you covered - best thin crust in Little Italy! The line is legit though.

Third Curiosity: Weekly love from a man's best friend.

Who We Are Celebrating This Week: My Sister Anna!

This week I'm celebrating my sister Anna Rachmansky for her overall amazingness as a sister and human, and for her years of dedication to the UJA , a non-profit organization known for incredible impact around the world. They're now helping so many in the Middle East, regardless of their color, religion or ethnicity. We're talking children, first responders, trauma counseling, food and shelter, supporting first responders and those affected most.

Overall, its the dedication to something greater than one's self that inspires me. To have purpose, to live from that place, that's a life worth living. So I'm celebrating my sis this week for modeling that.
