This week something a little different:
*** A wonderful week of jumping fun in the colourful fall of Vancouver, BC with Maximiliano Horvat, Koshala Basnayake, Gustavo Imoberdorf, Angelika and Tili Gostina and Kelly Wong!
*** This week I am also very excited to share an interview that was done on the beach in Kauai, Hawaii with Lilou Mace and myself just after we did a jumping photo shoot together, watch it here: Jump for joy interview with Lilou Mace and Eyoalha Baker in Kauai, Hawaii
*** I am so grateful for the positive thoughts and support I have been receiving about my project. I was very touched and feel compelled to share a write up from Garret P Vreeland on his blog DangerousMeta! and a very lovely email I received from Sofia Norman:
"thank you for sharing your project with the world! I think that is exactly what the world and the human hearts are jumping inside to really act out. To jump for the joy itself already embedded, inherent in us, in whatever way comes perfect - it's there, closer than our own legs, we cannot really do anything about that, can't we :) But to really see it, feel it, live it, share it, be it - that is something we can do about!!! We are that, and why not be that joy, that vivid, flourishing light, now, in this very moment?! It's really beautiful what you do, thank you. It just makes me glad to know that the project exists, breathes and breathes. Enjoy whatever you do, however you do! Sofia"
Lets continue to play and bring the Jump for joy! experience to as many people as possible around the world. Thank you for your continued support and for helping me spread the JOY!
