It was my birthday a few days ago and I didn't think to mention it here till I noticed the 4000 follower milestone had been reached. I don't care much for birthdays anymore unless they are round numbers.
Gili Air
Two years ago on my 40th I was standing on the shores of a small Indonesian island watching the sunrise, asking the Universe for a (beyond the banking system) way to support my new family with our ongoing journey across this Great Playground known as Earth.
Law of Attraction
One does this kind of asking by consciously enjoying the perfection of the feeling associated with the desire. I remember the tears entering my eyes as I filled my consciousness with this awesome feeling.
As a sun-gazer these moments of tear-filled euphoria are not uncommon but this one was different because I received an immediate response from the Universe in the form of a poem. I wrote it down and got back on with my holiday.
During our trip I shot some time-lapse & drone footage which I felt worthy of a film, so combined the shots with the poem & some music... and this is what came out the other side.
Little did I know that three months later I would discover Steemit! And with it the wonderful world of crypto, which has resoundingly answered my request to the Universe.
Follow your creativity
For those of you not already familiar with my time-lapse poetry I think you will enjoy this creative summary of the way I live my life now.
Where to go from here?
Ain't that the question!
In truth there is no right or wrong answer to this question and all paths can be made to be the right path.
I absolutely love translating my emotions into films and my best work seems to flow almost effortlessly when I am experiencing the energy of a place for the first time. This is why I must travel.
For now I am in the South of France but by the end of this year we will be back on the road again and the films will flow forth once more.
If you are not already, please follow the @samstonehilltube account where I will be posting these films through DLive & DTube. Perhaps someone could tell me which is better these days???
Finally I would like to thank ALL OF YOU for your support and for taking the time to comment under my posts. What a ride it has been!
Love & Light in abundance π
For those of you who heard me mention sungazing π
and want to know more...
Please do your research first if you are going to try sungazing. This film will serve as a good starting point for you.

Congratulations on the followers and happy birthday . I have been living off of crypto for the past almost year as well and it feels great. I may not be as accomplished as you but Iβm working my way up. Beautiful family , God bless
Great to hear you've been living off crypto for a year! It sure does feel great :)
A big congratulations to you too!
First of all, oh my goodness, I would have never guessed you're 42. You look much younger. and also a big fat happy birthday!
πHAPPY BIRTHDAY!π
And congratulations on your 4000 followers! I am proud and grateful to be one.
And also....now I want to stare at the sun....great, one one thing for moderners to laugh at me about.π I'm serious. Starting tomorrow at it's sunrise. And you're time-lapse video. WHAT POWERFUL WORDS to accompany a beautiful video show!!! You truly are an inspiration to me. Thank you dearest friend.π
haha! Bless you brother. However, the camera lies. Direct sunlight hides the wrinkles! I've actually aged a lot these last few years... far too much time slumped in front of this computer! But will return to getting younger once we are back on the road again ;)
Am pleased you hadn't seen the time-lapse films before! Really excited about producing some more of these. I've shot loads of time-lapse in France now... just looking for the right energy with which to craft them into something more.
Thank you for your continued support ππ»
Wow congratulations on the followers 4k mark and happy birthday @samstonehill also amazing work with these timelapse videos I am still working on escaping from my 4 walls of 9 to 5 control in hope Steem may one day lay a hand on that matter.
Looking at your wallet I would say you have done a great job already! If I had that amount in my wallet I would already be back on the road in Asia ;)
Thanks very much for that @samstonehill but without a doubt you know how expensive living in the uk is from your past, and I am not doing that great its a slow climb, remember at one point you was miles ahead of me think you reached 9k SP if not mistaken, hopefully sooner rather then later you will have enough again for Asia.
Well remembered! Yes, I was so close to 10K SP but then I had to start spending it and whilst life in the UK tops the lot, even Bali isn't so cheap.
Give it a year and we will both be dancing around the world ;)
Big congratulations Sammy and a very happy birthday! I hope you all have a lovely day together celebrating the wonderful existence that is you!
Thanks Jamie! The birthday feeling just goes on and on and on....
Love love love x x x

Onward & upward!

It's wonderful that you've enjoyed 42 rings around life's proverbial bathtub. Here's to hoping you're a crypto millionaire when you finally close that last ring. :)
