Cafe Gratitude and Esaleen building an Innovative future

Cafe Gratitude
From our farm, to our Café, to your Plate is the backbone of Café Gratitude; A business which is based on a path of awakening. Matthew and Terces Engelhart had a vision to create a business that connected people to their food and create a community around this. Their vision has become a great success and is inspirational. With menu items like I am nourished, I am bountiful, I am blissful, I am beautiful and a space based on gratitude you leave with a nourished tummy, and a charged soul filled with inspiration. I believe there are four Café Gratitude’s; checkout their website and feel good supporting the café.
We vote with our money    http://cafegratitude.com/

Esaleen
Esalen a spiritual gem tucked into the bluffs of Big Sur, California. A community that focuses its energy on education based around the body, mind and spirit. For 40 years this forward thinking oasis has brought hundreds of thousands of people to its fertile grounds. The 120 acres grows bountiful food, which supplies the kitchen three times a day. There is a natural hot springs to completely relax in while feeling the continual pounding of the surf directly below. The monarch butterflies fill the sky with there mating rituals. Esalen is almost a trip; defiantly a place to experience for a day or dive into for a month. Check out the website below.

"I've missed more than nine hundred shots in my career.
I've lost almost three hundred games.
Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.
I've failed over and over again in my life and
that's why I succeeded."

Part 2: Our world is Filled with so much Beauty it Makes me Want'a Dance

This is the second part to the endless beauty of the Pacific Coastal Highway from the southern Oregan coast to the Northern California coast (Hwy 101 and 1). The first few shots are from road side pull outs along the Southern Oregan coast. Not to bad of a view.
 
West from Cresent City California is a beautiful archaeological area called Point St. George. It was a beautiful crisp morning when we lucked opion this spot.


The famous Redwoods nation park! Friends and family keep saying it is a spititual experience. Hmmm well ya, it is. The redwoods range from 500 to 2000 years old, they reach up to over 300 feet high and can have a circumference of over 70 feet. Manage buying jeans with a 70 foot waist, ha no thanks! During the two days spent exploring as much as we could wawaa! started to get old fast. We got good and creative which made for some good laughs. Enjoy!!

how would you explain this tree?
Love. Laugh, and play
